Bug Description
As I got an answer that alarm clock can not cry for help as the battery dies, I'm updating the description. No system application should cry for help. It should be sysyem itself!
The problem is:
A PRESENT LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION IS TO QUIET.
It should be loud enough to wake us up! If You remind yourself the Nokia phones... it was impossible not to hear the battery dying. It should be impossible too especially in a buggy phone with UT, that without a special reason can drain 50% of the battery within a few hours (there are bug reports about it).
--------------
I think i saw already somewhere a bug report about unreliability of the alarm clock: if the battery goes empty or the phone switch off for some reason, alarm clock will not ring.
It happened to me that my phone turned off by itself into my pocket or battery went empty for some reason that nobody can explain. I saw such issues also on the mailing list.
If a low battery kills the alarm then I'd propose that the alarm starts to ring before the battery is 0% and the phone switches off no matter how much time left till alarm should ring.
The present notification by low battery at 5% is so unnoticeable that there could be no notification at all.

Thanks for taking your time to report this bug.
Clock app cannot read the battery charge level, so it would not be able to react if the battery is low.
Please take a look at this bug reports: bug #1420169 and bug #1317860 If they are fixed, you're problem should be resolved.
