bug#13913: Regarding cat command?

[Naveen]

Sir,
     I am naveen kumar, currently studying B.Tech CSE 3 rd year. I am
developing a application in linux 10.04 by using java. In my application am
showing battery status of system. for that am accessing the file cat
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state frequently. but in some of the systems after
running the application they are shutting down as if they don't have
battery backup. am not able to figuring out the problem?  is it due to the
access os /proc battery file repeatdly or any other?
