"Completely dead" is when the 10% charge warning has come and gone and the unit has shut itself down due to no internal battery power at all. (There is no 0% warning given.) You are correct in that you have to plug the battery pack in ASAP after the warning. I usually plug it in sooner than that if I'm settled in for some time and know I'm going to need it. That way I use the pack where it's the "least inconvenient" (eg once I'm settled into my plane seat and know I won't be going anywhere for a few hours) and then I still have some internal power to use where/when it's more convenient (eg. when I'm reading in shorter bursts, like when I'm in a queue on the ground, or waiting for the luggage carousel to start delivering bags).

Yes, this one is for the Kobo Touch, but it works on my vox. It does not affect the battery level indicator - if it reads 10% when I plug in the battery pack, it will still read (and be at) 10% while I am using the pack and when I stop using it. The pack doesn't charge the internal battery at all, nor does it change the internal battery level indicator reading.
Also, forgot to add that this battery pack has an on/off switch...don't know if that's a big feature to anyone.
