Hi and welcome,
The regulated device will handle the cut off point. Most will show low battery at 3.2v-3.4v.
IMO, never permit your batteries to drain below 3.0v
Which dual battery device will you be using and at what power levels?

Please add your location to your profile.

Cheers

Dont worry the mod will cut off at 3.5v or whatever the manufacturer has decide but defenetly not as low as 2.5v even if its 2 batteries u have nothin worry about even its 2 battwry mod..

Also it will try to balance the charge of the batteries if u charge it with the usb port on the mod..
It is highly recommend tho to charge your batteries in external battery charger and if u can in my opinion have 2 sets of batteries in order to swap batteries to charge them and never wait until charge

Does this mean the mod knows the cutoff point of the battery.
The chip in the unit has requirements for it's safe operation. If the source voltage falls below a certain level, the device will complain and shut down.
Have a look at some information presented by our beloved battery expert @Mooch.

The batteries have a low voltage limit of 2.5 v. That means you should never allow the batteries to go below 2.5 v or they will be damaged and very unsafe to use. This limit is per battery.

Partly because of this limit, and for other reasons as well, regulated mods have a low voltage cutoff below which they won't fire and you'll only get a 'low battery' reading. This is usually around 3.2 volts per battery, so 3.2 volts in a dual parallel mod and 6.4* volts in a dual series mod. If your batteries are properly married, they should both discharge at around the same rate (though some differences might become detectable as they age). This means they should be at 3.1 - 3.3 when they hit the cutoff, which is well above 2.5 volts.

*The 6.4 volts in a series mod is the combined voltage the chip is receiving from both batteries. As long as the batteries are balanced, it means about 3.2 volts from each battery.
