batteries getting drained fast on 5 click off or standby (PICO)

I would order new batteries and try that 1st. Once you determine if it's your batteries or not then I would troubleshoot everything else.

but how could it be the batteries?
If they are not in the device their voltage doesnt drop/then they dont get discharged

Never know if you don't try. Usually the simplest solution is the one that works, How old are your batteries? Do you consistently vape 40-50 or higher watts on lower sub ohm coils? Maybe they are fine outside the mod when they are not being used, but the little bit of power from the mod in standby drains them quickly= needs new batteries

I vape at 20 Watts, they are 4 months old, sony konion, I use each battery 1/6 th of the time as I have two mods with 2 sets of batteries and the 2nd mod has 2 batteries.
I will now fully charge them and then put them in my other device

Tested the same batteries with a different mod, its not the batteries.
However I will watch it for a couple more hours just to be sure.

Maybe check with Eleaf and see if they have an update that may fix the problem

You can also try Arctic fox firmware on the Pico. Better firmware anyway.

I already use AF, I had this with 2 completly different mods too, that dont share the same board.

Do you have the clock turned on in AF....it will use battery life.

 

[HansWu]

I know, I dont. Must be something firmware and battery unrelated as I had this like 2 years ago with a cheap not unupdatable device too and a VTC mini, something that different devices with different boards must have in common, id think. And it came when the mods got older. I really had my hopes up when someone mentioned that it may be even the inner threads of the pico battery cap, but sanding and cleaning all those conducting parts didnt help.

That shouldn't be a problem. The clock runs off an "internal" battery.
Notice when you leave the battery out for weeks, it still has the correct time when putting the battery back in.
Odd the OP is having the same issue with multiple different mods.

Though I think the AF devs mentioned that the clock will cost battery life, but im not 100% certain.


yea, and when I asked about this in my german forum, also other people reported this issue, also with pico and also with different devices.
I suspect that even if someone has this issue, its not that easy to notice if you constantly use the mod and change batteries.
To me it only became obvious the first time when I left a mod in a bag for a week and the batt was below 2,7V after...
