When the HEV suit is offlined in massive explosions / after significant trauma, it automatically reboots and checks for updates in firmware. Kliener had programmed new power management systems (and some HUD updates) when it became clear that Freeman would be working for quite some time in the dark, and these were remotely uploaded to the suit after the train crash. This same crash also knocked out access to Gordon's Episode One weapon loadout, save for the Gravity Gun, which was in Freeman's hands at the time of the crash.

Yes I made it up, though it's kind of feasible
Yea thats what I thought, especially when you have a Vortigaunt with crazy energy powers right next to you. Something as simple as, "The Freeman will require a more adequate power source for navigating the Anlion hive. Zapppp.", would have been better - you could even have the effect run out depending upon the needs of Episode Three.
