Astro Saber: Change low battery alert setting?
I've had an A/S3 for years now, a legit non-hackged one, that I hadn't used the low battery alert on it... until now. The problem is the low battery level setting seems way high, alerting much earlier than it should. I haven't put a meter on it yet but my battery packs are good. My A/S manuals are all packed away from when we moved so hopefully I can get the answer here instead of having to dig.
Is there a way to lower/set the battery alert level on the Astro Sabers? Thanks.

Another good fix is bend the battery contacts with a small flat head screw driver so that they make a stronger contact with the battery. Also tighten the spanner nuts on the battery plate until they are snug.

I know this post is going on over 10 years now but I just wanted to say - thanks to this post, I managed to fix one of my Astro Sabers !
Just had an Astro Saber come in and no matter what battery I put on it, it would always flash “low battery” and sometimes reset itself. I tried all the good batteries I had and all of them would flash premature low battery on this one Astro Saber. What did the trick ? - I tightened down the spanner nuts and bingo - no more low battery indicator !
So, thank you to Mrflashport for solving this issue ! It was a major PITA and never had one do this before.
