Push-button Power Switch Breakout problem
I have a project that I am using a Push-button Power Switch Breakout attached to a PowerBoost 500C to power everything. It all worked great until I was testing real-world battery life. So I let the battery completely run down and when I started charging the power kicked on immediately and I can no turn it off. I unplugged the battery and the push button will now only turn the project on, not off. The LED still goes on and off but will never actually turn it off. Any ideas on what happened?

OK, so nevermind, maybe? It seems when the battery is low this board doesn't work properly. It works now that I am charged back up. Any way to fix this?

Around what voltage does it stop working?
The circuit that makes the board work needs enough supply voltage for the chip to work and for the mosfets that control the power to operate.
