When the battery runs out, OSX is supposed to save everything in RAM to a file on the hard drive and then switch off.

This is called hibernation and it doesn't always work well on a hackintosh.

You can turn it off with su pmset -a hibernatemode 0.

 

Take out the hard drive and plug it into a PC running Mac Drive or Transmac to retrieve your data, or what's left of it.

I suppose you could boot it up from an external USB HDD with Windows installed on it and run Transmac or Macdrive from there.

 

If that doesn't work you could try booting from a Linux Live CD/DVD (one that has HFS mount/read support) and then back up your data to an external HDD or memory stick.

 

Personally I would just void the warranty...while laughing.

 

Good luck.
