Description

I just happened upon this code in Power.cpp:

#ifdef ARCH_NRF52
                // We can't trigger deep sleep on NRF52, it's freezing the board
                LOG_DEBUG("Low voltage detected, but not triggering deep sleep\n");
#else
                LOG_INFO("Low voltage detected, triggering deep sleep\n");
                powerFSM.trigger(EVENT_LOW_BATTERY);
#endif

Freezing boards is bad, but IMO it is super important to enter deep sleep anytime we are able to detect that the battery is critically low. Because to not do this will kill lipos.

I'm happy to look into this as I continue my adventure of improving nrf52 power consumtion. But opening an issue in case any of ya'll have comments on this theory?
