Acustic 'empty battery warning' ?

Hmm,
using the clock to wake me up in the morning would be an option to
check the
battery.
It even wakes up, or boots, if I have shut down the phone :-)
If the clock is not at a really alarm time (to wake me up :-),
it could configure the next wakeup to check the battery.
Is that a solution if PMU doesn't support us with another solution ?
