Battery drain with screen left on
I just received a newly-purchased Ace Pro 2 a week ago.
I did a battery life test with the following parameters (tried my best to adhere to standardised testing parameters)
- WiFi and Bluetooth off
- Active HDR on
- auto screen-off in 30 seconds
- Ambient temperature (air conditioning) at 25°C, low fan speed blowing at the device to simulate outdoor natural wind
- 1080p, 30fps
The battery drained from 100% to 20% in 1h45min which I think is quite decent.
However, I quickly noticed that while just swiping with the screen on to adjust the settings, the battery drained 2% within just 2 minutes.
So I did another test, leaving the screen on for 15 minutes with the same settings as above, without filming. And the battery decreased from 55% to 45% within 15 minutes.
Just want to see if this battery drain while the screen is on is normal. Thanks!
