Yeti 1500x Idle Battery Drain?
Just got my 1500x a week or so ago. The day I got it, I charged it up and with it idle with the only power being used for Wi-Fi cloud connect I was getting a drain of 15Wh per day. I called customer support and they said that was to fast. They had me do a hard and soft reset and told me to charge up and give it a couple days to see if it improved, but couldn't give me an answer on what the drain should be. Just that if it didn't improve to call them back. Since then it is better at 10 Wh per day.
Is this what others see with theirs? Still seems high to me as in a 5 month completely dead battery. However at the same time, if the Wi-Fi is connected constantly only using 420 mWh doesn't seem like much.

Hi @JLadd,
With the Wi-Fi on the unit running, we would expect to see about 10Wh a day used. So you would see about 3% loss every two days.
If the unit is idled with everything shut off, then you should be losing about 1-2% every 5-7 days. That is an average of 3-5Wh a day.
