An answer to a previous post on exhausting a LiPo through a PowerBoost 500 was . . .
"There are still paths for current to flow though, and the LiPo can discharge more slowly through those."
Is there a reason you didn't ground the enable pin when the voltage gets below 3.0 V so that it is completely protected against over discharge?

Re: PowerBoost 500 Battery Protection
The PowerBoost is not a dedicated LiPo boost circuit. It is designed to work with a variety of power sources as noted in the product description:
However, all of the LiPo cells we carry have internal protection circuits to prevent over-discharge, so such a circuit in the PowerBoost would be redundant.This little DC/DC boost converter module can run from 1.8V batteries or higher, and convert that voltage to 5.2V DC for running your 5V projects.
