Cool :)

Yes I think that's the voltage we get battery empty interrupt and cpcap_battery_irq_thread() calls orderly_poweroff() shuts down the device.

The 3.3V case was for a different device, so the minimum level can board specific and less than what the battery thinks it might be.

No need to do anything except notify user at the battery low interrupt CPCAP_BATTERY_IRQ_ACTION_BATTERY_LOW :)

That should be based on the PMIC register values that Android uses. Worth rechecking for sure, I thought it is higher than normal too for the charge voltage.
