There's a switching regulator in the end cap that does its darnedest to keep the voltage constant, but when the battery is too weak to do that, the regulator shuts down instantly and you don't get any more out of it. The switching regulator is partly why it's so expensive, and why it produces a lot of electrical noise as the article says.

I kinda figured something like that was going on. I picked up a few 2300 mAH NiMHs for the OB; that should be fine for now. One of these days I'll track down the weird cells necessary to rebuild the "real" OB battery pack.
