My laptop crashed mid-presentation at a networking mixer last night

I was at a startup mixer in Austin pitching my side project to a group of investors when my screen just went black. The room got quiet and I had to wing it with just a verbal explanation for 3 minutes while it rebooted. Turns out my battery was old and couldn't handle the load, so now I always carry a backup power bank. Has anyone else had a tech fail right when you needed to impress someone important?

That's actually more of a battery age issue than a load problem, old batteries just give up randomly.
