Les, does the sensors you've used or worked on, use resistance or
inductance as the trigger type.?.
the inductance type is more prone to a voltage/current change..
could be when the battery drained below the ckt's ability to
compensate for, it altered some other balance ckt's in the device..
Just a guess, mind you...
