The voltage dropoff is pretty steep so you may not get a low battery warning in a timely manner. I lost a 48GX when this happened, so the usual rule of removing batteries when not in daily use applies.

Did the drained eneloops destroy the 48GX or just wipe your stored items?

That is a useful feature but is a bit irritating to set every time. Indeed, the Casio electronic dictionary has a battery level indicator.
