Expedition mode is draining battery

Unread post by ConiKost »

Anyone an idea, what I can do about draining battery in expedition mode? About ~10% or more per hour, when being in expedition mode.

Currently, the only corrective action available is to not use Expedition Mode.

Firmware 10.90 I assume?

So it's a bug?
