Indeed after setting the same firmware revision (2.1.5) I have fully charged both devices, applied the same settings and the new device will still be dead long before the old one. This kind of scuttles point 2 EXCEPT there is still a slight difference in firmware between old and new touches even at the same revision level. Hence firmware again.

So from my perspective either both new devices are faulty (bad batch?) or there's a genuine power usage issue in the new touch/glo firmware.
Ah quite true indeed. I'd not thought of that.

However: that doesn't explain the differences between new version firmware. For instance, davidfor's Glo has perfect battery life, and is surely also using the firmware for "new" devices.

(BTW, my replacement Glo seems to be going in the wrong direction: 100% yesterday morning, 31 hours later it's at 62%.)
