Latest release kills battery

Michael Rhys

Took a bike out for a test ride today. Used MRA on my fully chargesd iphone 15 max. 2.5hours later my phone was down to 2% the only app I was using on the phone was MRA.

Anyone else seen this issue and any way to make MRA last all day.

@Michael-Rhys that's why the advise is to use an external power supply

@Marinus-van-Deudekom Its not always possible, like in the situation today, or if you are keeping your phone in your pocket and using a car play device. Google maps does not destroy the battery as much.

@Michael-Rhys of you have your phone in your pocket because you're using CarPlay make shure that your phones screen is off and maybe connect it to a powerbank

I am currently experiencing very variable battery consumption. Last week I did a ride of almost 200 km. While doing so, I used the BMW connect app, MRA and internet radio, charging the phone wirelessly through the bike (R1250RT).
Started with the battery at about 83%. At the break after 1 1/2 hours, the battery was found to be at 84%. So there was about 1% more charging. At lunch after about 3 hours, the battery was still 83% full. So the consumption was compensated with charging. However, on returning home after 4 1/2 hours, the battery showed 67%. So despite wireless charging, it had lost 16% more after the midday break.
No idea why the phone was consuming more after midday, then.
I'm going to see if I can measure the temperature in the (ventilated) compartment where the phone is located and charged. Maybe the rise in temperature could be a cause.

Ik ervaar momenteel het batterijverbruik als zeer wisselend. Afgelopen week een rit van bijna 200 km gemaakt. Daarbij gebruik gemaakt van de BMW connect app, MRA en internet radio.
Daarbij wordt de telefoon draadloos geladen via de motorfiets (R1250RT).
Gestart met de batterij op ongeveer 83%. Bij de pauze na 1 1/2 uur bleek de batterij op 84% te staan. Er was dus ongeveer 1% meer opgeladen.
Bij de lunch na ongeveer 3 uur bleek de batterij nog voor 83% gevuld. Het verbruik werd dus met het opladen gecompenseerd.
Echter bij thuiskomst na 4 1/2 uur gaf de batterij 67% aan. Ondanks het draadloos opladen was deze dus na de middagpauze 16% meer kwijt geraakt.
Geen idee waarom de telefoon na de middag dus meer verbruikte.
Ik ga eens kijken of ik de temperatuur in het (geventileerde) vakje waar de telefoon in ligt en opgeladen wordt, kan meten. Misschien dat de stijging van de temperatuur een oorzaak kan zijn.

It probably wasn't Charging wirelessly is sometimes hit and miss...
