What's happening is that when you run on battery, e2fsck will delay
running the filesystem check, on the assumption that it is better to
defer the check until some time in the future when your laptop is
running on AC mains again. This deferral is not infinite, however; if
the number of mounts exceeds twice the max mount counts, or if the
interval between checks exceeds twice the check interval, e2fsck will
force the check even though you are on battery.
I've changed the sources to print a message to make this more clear.
