RE: HP 35S battery drain
I may be wrong about the diode arrangement in that schematic as it's difficult to tell what it is in circuit. I would have thought that each battery would be bypassed by a single diode which would allow that behaviour.

It will run quite happily down at around 2 volts though. I think what they did here was power it with 5V from the LDO and use a voltage indicator for the battery light when that went below 5V. The series pair would have to discharge from 6V down to <5V for the battery light to come on.

Either way the circuit is a bit cruddy.
