I don't have one. I have heard that the board doesn't convert power super efficiently from the batteries, though. I forget where, but I've head it, I think. I could be wrong. IDK how you are setting your display screen up or what mode you are using it in, either. I do find that using TC can decrease battery life in some mods, of course the mod is doing more. Depending on your display and length of time it shuts off and what it is doing that may be a way to increase battery life. Etc.

I have a couple "clock" mods, and one (a Vapresso mod) as well as the Cylon both have clocks. Which I thoroughly like, but my Vapresso mod probably gets worse battery life in comparison to the Cylon. Some boards are just more efficient, period.

Hopefully it's not a deal changer for you, depending on just what kind of battery life you are getting. Best of luck and I'm sure someone with the mod is going to come along with better, more specific suggestions and etc.

With brand new batteries with a CDR of 15-20 (i.e., the 30Q), you should get about 100 Watts out of the device at 3.4v. If it is cutting off sooner (3.5v, 3.6v, etc) then the batteries are probably worn from use.

To roughly calculate your amp draw on a two-battery VW device, Wattage / # of batteries / 3

If that number falls between 15 and 20, you are getting close to a high battery wear situation and you should charge them.

Any battery loses discharge capacity with regular use. Regularly discharging them to 3.2v or below causes a lot of wear.
