No way to do that at the moment. Maybe you can record your user actions to an AppleScript/Automator and find a program that can detect switching from AC to battery to trigger it.
Also, keep in mind that the rule engine in version 3 is a lot more efficient and any battery drain should be minimal. Though if it is a big deal now you may want to look at your rules to see if anything you are doing is unnecessarily resource-intensive.
