Not trying to be a smartass here, but wouldn't it be best practice to 
always use the power cord when doing portupgrades on a laptop?  All my 
workstations have UPSes for that very reason, and I never update laptops 
without power.  That way, if the power does fail, it can revert to battery 
giving me enough time to stop the portupgrade before all is lost.
