That doesn't work as it isn't a linear decrease on the gauge or the battery voltage. I get about 55 miles and it says 50% then heads down from there a lot faster.
BMS or battery management system will allow you to run batteries until they quit via low voltage cutoff for every cell in the pack. They also have over current ,over voltage and thermal protection.
