DR800 When will the DR800 needs to be charged?

Somewhere it mentioned that the DR800 will issue a warning message on low battery. I am just wondering the threshold.

I know they've said elsewhere on the forum that "When the battery is almost exhausted, the device will go into a real OFF mode", however I don't know if they ever said what the exact threshold was. I don't remember seeing that number posted anywhere.

Page 9 of the user manual, anybody have seen this yet?

I've only let mine go completely dead once, and that was during the first charge cycle. I didn't see a warning before it shutdown, but that could be due to the meter not being calibrated correctly yet (it takes a couple cycles before it syncs up correctly). If the meter was out of sync, the battery may have run out while the meter was still telling the OS that there was some power left, so no warning was generated.

Mine also had no warnings and got dead directly yesterday.
