Hi Grogs,
An interesting problem. I'll leave the electronic solutions to others (I'm not competent) but, a thought:

Assuming the battery condition doesn't change quickly, and is constant between most changes; by knowing its current/last status, can you alter the 5 second wakeup to put the MM in a better position to receive the next sequence?
Yes, it will foul-up at some condition changes but that should be infrequent - you can wait until a valid 1000ms pause to update its "current status" for the next reading.

Cheers,

Andrew
