I have used my Provari a lot for like 55 hrs with the same 18650 and it reads 3.2 volts when I check the battery. How low will it go before it blinks at me telling me I will need a change soon? Am I right that it's better for the overall life of the battery not to kill it completely? I don't know if it will kill it all the way off before blinking so I just changed it out. I thought it was supposed to blink slowly when getting low and fast when very close to dead. I always change the battery in my other mod every night around the same time so it has never went dead. Also I do have the LED turned off but thought that I understood that it would still blink to warn me even with the LED turned off. Thanks in advance for any help with my questions

According to the manual:
"Note: When the LO mode is turned OFF, the low battery alert function will not flash the LED. Only when you have LO mode ON, will the low battery alert activate."

I just turned the LO mode OFF on my Provari to test this, I will know for sure sometime today.

I wonder if that changed with the V2, my Mini blinks the button with low battery when LO mode is off.

My button just started flashing at ~3.2v with the LO mode turned OFF.
It is a ProVari V2.
