For example, I inadvertently left a robot idling overnight and it was still on, but the battery was down to about 6V. This was almost a 10 hour period. I would hazard a guess and say that the immediate battery voltage reading is "good enough."

Like a car guesses how many miles until empty, that value could be dependent on the current rate of discharge that is constantly re-averaging itself as it continuously takes in more data, then the average and all data is wiped clean when robot is restarted - Just like a car.
