Isn't OFF supposed to automatically include CLOSEIO?

Shouldn't removing a battery without turning OFF also turn itself off anyway?
(IIRC, battery removal can even substitute for a reset, such as during ROM update)

If you have a multimeter, maybe you can measure the voltage of the
batteries when they're freshly charged, at the low battery warning,
and then when it won't turn on any more. That should give us a good
idea of what's going on.

You can also make an electric current measurement (remember the meter
goes in series with the batteries, not in parallel). You can compare
your measurement to measurements made by Eric Rechlin in his August

Good luck,
