I found your comment about stack and local variables interesting. Never thought about that before but hell you're right and I may find myself confused now .
I just started with AAA batteries and having read some other threads on this topic it seems that the 50g is indicating low battery around 4.8V which is a bit high for average 1.2V battery cells. So quite probably only very little power is consumed and quite certainly the 50g was not intended to be used with rechargeable batteries. Wonder if we can soft adjust the warning level ?

@Han
I don't think USB is charging batteries it would be dangerous with normal batteries.

I use low self-discharge type batteries in my 50g (Eneloops) and I have not had a low battery status since I put them in, in October.

Normal Ni-MH batteries lose a third of their charge per month just sitting there.
