Anyone else's 3DS freeze when the battery dies?

Normally, machines turn off when the battery dies, but mine stays on with the screens black and the red light still flashing. I have to hold down the power button for several seconds to get it to turn off, and then it takes a bit for it to start up after it's charged. I'm not concerned about it, because it just means I need to put it in the charger sooner instead of playing all the way to the end, but I'm just trying to see if it's a common occurance.

Can't really help you out there, I've never had my battery drain.

Though, that is weird for it to just freeze instead of just turn off. I know my DSi used to just shut off when it was low.

It might be going into sleep mode to preserve what little power it has left. Would be quite useful if it died midway through a game because you've got a chance to plug in the charger and save it, if you hadn't done so already!Raiko101

Mine actually did that just this morning. It sucked because I was definitely in the middle of a mission on Ghost Recon.
