I've seen this resistor used for the low battery alarm circuit. It keeps the
battery voltage from rising as load is shed and confusing the low battery alarm
circuit. There is no safety reason that I know of. 91K ohm is an odd value
though, left overs from another product? I'm assuming that the normal current
drain of this product is small, in the 10 to 100 microamp regions.
