Keep your good battery life. They trashed the Wi-Fi and whatever cloud shit it started doing when it’s supposed to be asleep.

It’s def something firmware related as this problem was happening in earlier version, then fixed, then came back.

The battery still drains, but not nearly as fast. Though it shouldn’t be draining at all given the screen isn’t on and Wi-Fi is in airplane mode. I have a feeling it’s still trying to sync or call out to cloud services that aren’t activated.

I have to put it into airplane mode when I leave the office as it will rapidly eat the battery if I don’t

Mine drains excessively fast since their later firmware revisions. I’ve had mine since 2021.

Originally it would last 2 solid weeks with regular daily use.

Whatever the updates did to the Wi-Fi, it relentlessly consumes the battery. Even if the unit is idle in my bag and the Wi-Fi is on, I’ll lose 40%.

If the unit is asleep, the Wi-Fi should be off and not aggressively searching for a network.

I love my RM2 and it’s one of the best work tools I have, but I’m not keen on needing to be near a charger when not in the office.
