May be not important anymore, it's an old device. But I do notice 5.13.6 drains battery much faster than 5.12.4 on voyage, roughly 30% more when screen is on and 3x when screen is off.
I compared my three voyages and noticed the difference. I downgraded one from 5.13.6 to 5.12.4 and will report back with detailed logs.

Considering 5.13.6 is the latest voyage version, I think amazon is playing apple dirty tricks.
