Some cards don't work well when the battery goes flat. My wife's unit
can't pick up audio streams well when the battery is flat. My unit's
battery was at five percent once and I was able to get audio streams just
the same. I didn't push it though, I plugged it in to charge.

Hmmm. I raced around and plugged the thing in straight away, wondering what
on earth had gone wrong to make that beeping sound. I hadn't encountered it
with the Classic. But, like you, my gauge claimed to be accurate, though it
ran out at 9%. Looks like my first go at recalibrating is on the cards.
Funny, as I keep using the thing until it goes flat.
