By the way: ellipsis in this widget are not so good (guess the full text is shown in a tooltip). I'd recommend "Battery-low condition" as title plus sub text "remaining: 2%/~10min" and "shutdown in: 10s" with the option to cancel, if relevant.

I was thinking of a countdown but I think updating the notification would spawn a new one, and it would waste precious power.
There is no tooltip and yes, the notification popup size is pretty small :( 
The popup appears and stays in the history, so one can cancel any time during the 60s timeout. There is no additional notification.
