If that's the right name.

At present, if the battery runs down when I'm not looking, on
restarting the machine (by pressing the power button) after
connecting the supply, it does a restart similar to if I'd shut it
down, other than that it gives the "Windows did not shut down
properly", and some app.s say _they_ did not shut down properly.

Is it possible to set something so that the system does a "sleep",
"hibernate", or whatever, so that when I apply power and restart,
it wakes itself up how it was? If it is, what settings do I have
to change where?

I'm not talking about shutdowns instigated by an action, such as
closing the lid or pressing the power button. Is it even
_possible_ to trap the "battery is too low" situation?

Your battery is dropping out too fast for the laptop to do a proper
shutdown. You can try adjusting the percentage remaining for it to
declare the battery is dying and try to get in sleep mode. Check power
management settings. If it's offering to enter sleep at 10% or so,
increase that to 20% to give your laptop more time to try and
gracefully power down; since the battery is going quickly when it
reaches near empty.
