on a serious note... I too thought it would shut off the standing lamps if it got too weak.

I can play with my Idrive, navigation and listen to music (pretty loud) AND even have the parking lights ON (to get instruments light
) for 30-45 min.
I have NEVER got any LOW battery warning...
When I wash my car, I use to turn on the parkings lights, turn up the music, for almost 30 min. when I'm drying the car.... I've never seen the low battery sign...

I think basically this... when the car is parked. Either like this or just one side turned on by taping your indicators with the car off.
