Re: Exil3d's Battery Life Guide

You're testing too many things at once.

Test 1. Radio OFF (Flight mode) LCD On Brightness full, no timeout/sleep, not running anything - sitting in TF3d Backlight 50% - tests run time for LCD only. Expected result, less then 4 hours. Could surprise me and go 6 hours. Cpu Idle will draw 40-50ma, screen 130ma+

Test 2. Radio ON Data ON LCD Off, stream audio (wired headset, volume low is fine) - tests run time on radio/voice call essentially the same, expected result 3.5 hours, same as max talk time, since we're pulling 400+ma.

Test 3. Radio OFF LCD OFF running anything that is cpu intensive (is there something that will run CPU bound forever?) tests runtime compute bound only. Expected result, 10 hours or less, pulling 70-100ma for active CPU.

See what I'm getting at?
