Hi Greg,

Yes, that's indeed a good idea - not only for preventing strange effects on=
 the recorder, but also for protecting the battery itself. Draining a lead-=
acid battery below a critical voltage level can permanently damage it. Ther=
e are fortunately low voltage disconnect battery guards available that can =
prevent the complete discharge. I'm using this model:

There seem to be similar products also by other manufacturers:
