After today’s update you can literally watch the battery lose charge… :frowning:

I’ve shut down my r1 for now, so it doesn’t make sense if the battery runs out so quickly even when the display is off… :frowning:

I have now turned my r1 back on and will see how long it will last. The battery consumption is currently 1% every 10-15 minutes with the display on.

That’s pretty fast considering you don’t even actively use r1.

I can imagine that even with moderate use, it might not last another day.

I think the problem might not be that big after all, I’ll keep an eye on it over the next few days.

I have added a new battery amount for 09:13 PM.

It would be helpful to have an indicator, if the amount of the battery is to low.

For when the R1 is just “lying around” and not being used I lost around 6% in about 8 hours - which is I think pretty much what it was before.

I can’t really tell (not tried yet) with the screen on/usage but at least the idle time usage seems to not have changed :thinking:?

I will update my table continuously to give a support to the rabbit team and you.

So a new value has been added.

At now my rabbit will be continuously on.
The first results in my table show a mix between on and stand by.

Hi @leahcim ,
Hi everyone,

as I said today I made an other test for our rabbit r1 with the following results:

So far in my test I have got the following results:

Time Battery _ _
01:07 PM 80 % Mostly standby
03:25 PM 72 % Mostly standby
03:38 PM 71 % Mostly standby

11:13 AM 20 % Mostly on
11:33 AM 14 % Mostly on

11:54 AM 5 % Mostly on
12:01 PM 2 % Mostly on
12:04 PM 1 % Mostly on
12:34 PM 0 % Mostly on

It’s interesting and amazing that the last 1% took several minutes for the rabbit r1 to turn off.

Britghtness was ca. 40 %.

Maybe this table and test could help/support @simon and the development team for this topic about the battery usage. :slight_smile:

I believe the battery useage is quite normal and the same as before.

I have shared this with the team.

The last OTA was very small, and it seems unlikely to me that this particular OTA caused a decrease in battery life, so I am not sure exactly what might be going on, but have raised it regardless.

Well, for some reason the problem doesn’t seem to be as serious to me anymore. It has settled back down to how it was before the update. But I have a suspicion. Maybe it’s the network that r1 is on. I’d like to test it in the next few days. I just don’t know if I’m allowed to. Does r1 respond to ping requests or other requests that may not even be authorized? My idea is that r1 could be made to lose its battery charge more quickly in public networks this way. Basically, if it is overwhelmed with requests. I haven’t tested it yet, but if it works, then it could be a possible attack scenario that could drain r1’s battery in a short space of time. But if that is possible, then those responsible at Rabbit would have to come up with countermeasures.

Hi @simon ,
thank you for your support.:+1:

I hope, the table can help.
In my point of view maybe the network connection could be a cause.

By activating the rabbit r1 the rabbit makes always a new connection to my wlan.

Maybe a permanent ping or something like else has an influence of the battery usage.

Hi @simon,
Hi rabbit-community,

as promised I did an other test for the battery usage.
My results are below:

Time Battery Status
11:00 AM 100 % Mostly standby
11:15 AM 100 % Mostly standby
11:30 AM 100 % Mostly standby
11:45 AM 100% Mostly standby
12:00 PM 100% Mostly standby
12:15 PM 97% Mostly on
12:30 PM 93% Mostly on
12:45 PM 89% Mostly on
01:00 PM 85% Mostly on
01:15 PM 79% Mostly on with LAM playground (Web)
01:30 PM 73% Mostly on with LAM playground (Web)
01:45 PM 67% Mostly on with LAM playground (r1)
02:00 PM 61% Mostly on with LAM playground (r1)

The brightness was between 30-40 %.

Maybe this result can support an improvement, too. :slight_smile:
