Can you calibrate the Battery Low feature? One would think so...

Calibrate? Methinks not. There no adjustments.

I got lazy and tried to measure the battery voltage using the
voltmeter. I suppose I could install a switch to do that
automatically and call it a "battery test" function.

I have an analog battery tester that puts a small load on the battery
when measuring. It works much better than any open circuit
measurement. However, I can never seem to find it when I need it.
