Actually, a "battery" indication on a server makes sense -if- your server is on a UPS and the UPS reports "AC IN" status to the server.
- The server and all VMs are on AC power... but then...
- The AC goes dead, and the UPS cuts in.
- The UP sends status to the server that the system is now on battery power.
- The VMs see the "I'm on battery power" indication, and can begin orderly shutdown, take evasive action, or whatever strategy is specified in their config.

Remember, all Server OS are manageable through group policy, so this is much ado about nothing. All of our patch management is through SCCM, so the updates they push will be pulled apart and deployed at our leisure. We have complete control of our server environments and will continue to with this change.
