I guess the intent of the external battery low voltage warning is if
you are running an external pack only. I suppose you could set the
low battery warning to a reasonable point and unplug the external
when the voltage drops to 12.5-13V. Based on a 9V switch over, I'd
guess that an 8 cell NiCAD/NiMH pack is the maxium you could use and
still have the switch over to the internal work correctly. FWIW the
external Li-Ion pack I'm using to power my HDP2 drops to about 8V
when flat, and puts out between 10-12V for the most charge life, so
something like that could be an alternative.
