On the model of electronic shifter I have, it is one battery driving both front and rear shifters. When the battery is running low, the front derailleur shifts to the low gear and allows no more shifting to conserve battery. This is your warning signal.

Not me. I couldn’t find a shift I didn’t like. Mark Watney probably could have made it another 5 hours. I made it another 5 minutes.
