the only way to remove the "HP 50g battery warning box" is by modifying the internal TurnOff code, as this is the place where the batteries are checked.
As you can not modify this code, it is most likely impossible from the outside.

A partial solution would be to use a customized/modified SOL.
For this you need to take control over the keyboard via an exchanged SOL so that you can control [RS] [OFF] (and the other shifted possibilities to turn off the machine) and you need to take control over the timeout routine which turns off the machine. The timeout routine is also called from the SOL.

Note however, that this has no effect on the programmable command OFF or other areas in the ROM that call the TurnOff code (e.g. Kermit server, POLs that call TurnOff) as in this cases you won’t have control over it.

HTH,
Andreas
