I'll add that I'm going to add a "critical" state in the EC code.
Currently low battery is based on the SOC value (the percentage) and if
its wrong you end up with that abrupt low-voltage shutoff with no warning.
The voltage output curve in the final stages is very non-linear but
there's a threshold that if you are below you have entered into the
danger zone and shutoff is imminent.
