On my unit the readings start to go wonky at around 1.89V, it shuts off at 1.75V. Low battery icon comes on at 2.53V.
Since it's just a secondary meter for me, I have no problem ignoring the low battery warning and just using it until shut down ahahha.
I use the IKEA LADDA 900mAH batteries which I suspect are rebranded eneloop AAA pro's, because there is only one factory in Japan that makes LSD NiMH batteries. They are really cheap here in Australia, <10 dollarydoos for a 4-pack.
