That is just flat-out bad design. Should never happen.
It may just be a firmware bug they are not aware of? Has anyone contacted them?

The only reference I can find in Unihedron's literature about the battery is if there is no reading at all.

I see the instruction sheet says:- "Any kind of 9V battery is usable. The SQM-L contains a voltage regulator to power the sensor, microcontroller and other components." which suggests some level of battery depletion would be allowed for?
