That was my understanding, too, which is why the info from the paper I had read stuck in my head. The Hanlin manual could have been clearer, but,
as I read it, it
seemed to support the other paper’s statement. I think what we really need is better (or more) info from the battery manufacturers.

I didn’t mean to ding iRex; “smart batteries” aren’t
really very smart; that they
usually work
pretty much as they are supposed to is the state of the art: “In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King.”
If, however, the DR will shut down because it ‘thinks’ the battery is too low (because of a ‘stuck guage’), then that is something that should be addressed. I do not have any idea if that is the case, but it
could be, and bears looking into, IMHO. This is just something I wonder about, and can't consider a serious problem.
