What actual 8 seg messages should we show on time lost and low batt? #36

Should LOW BATT just come on and stay on until batt is changed? This is the lowest power option. Maybe flash at 1Hz? This could be almost as low power using the LCD blanking register. Or could flash LOW BATT message alternating with normal display. This would likely use more power than just normal operation though.

I like low batt flashing @ 1hz

How would you write LOW BATT in the 6x7 seg LCDs? The W and It's are hard I think!

if we have a pin we can connect to another segment, i think the display should go from a the full clock with the little battery icon turned on at 2.7V, then at 2.5V turn off the clock and only show the battery icon.

Writing out Low Batt in 7 seg would probably look like.... screenshot 2018-07-21 20 30 17 which doesn't look great.

Going with battery icon to match printed documentation.
