Need software level support to try to better inform customer of battery low.
This can be oled or other indications like fast blinking leds and so on

Suggestion: once the motors stop running they should instead pwm beep in a recognisable way that can be described in the learn docs as a battery low alert.

We cannot stop current usage in the motors from host code but we can keep speed settings always 0 in this case and that will be very nearly shutting down motors and thus minimizing current draw against the battery.
