How much juice left in \"dead\" L4 Batteries?

Can I assume that batteries that are "Dead" out of an L4 are completely drained? How much is left in them after they drop out of regulation?

They have enough to power your Arc LS (current model) for about 10 minutes before going into moon mode. I have read that more can be squeezed out of the 123s by the Arc LS1.

Re: How much juice left in

Somewhere in one of my threads concerning the KL4/L4 I did some testing using the dead 123-cells in my KL4 in my latest-generation LSH-P. I think in my case, the ARC would not light in sun mode at all. It would only fire up into moon mode, which I declared was a good thing, since it meant the regulation circuit of the KL4 was using as much of the cell as possible.
