I don't play any of the games on it or use the browser, I sideload all my books, and even sideload new firmware when I want to upgrade it. It's in a sleep cover, so it always goes to sleep only. The only time it's actually powered off and back is if there's some problem that I can't clear any other way.
I've had my Glo HD since May 2015 and haven't had any problems with it, and the original battery still seems great in it.
LED lights really take minimal power, I doubt it would save you anything noticeable between 10% and 50%, but you'd have to experiment with that.
I suggest you just set the lights up to whatever is most comfortable for your eyes and don't worry about the battery drain. See how your eyes and the battery performs after a month or so.

Thanks, will do.
Even if not the same device, it's great to know that 5 years later your Kobo is still going strong. Maybe a weekly charge isn't that bad for a battery after all...
