Suspend would stop "any" battery consumption, and would avoid a "hard"
system halt. I would regard Suspend as a "hard"-style notification
that would definitely prompt user to plug it in, and would be a good
step toward avoding data-loss. Hibernate goes too far in trying to
halt battery consumption, and Shutdown seems like the "lose your data"
option.
It would probably make sense to have Suspend in the list.
