I solved this (-:  I posted to the laptop lists a program which
returns true when you are on battery power.

# These entries are useful for a Debian system.
1       5       cron.daily      onacpow && run-parts /etc/cron.daily
7       10      cron.weekly     onacpow && run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
30      15      cron.monthly    onacpow && run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
