Sage 6 hour battery life on Sage?

Buhaj · Yesterday, 02:32 PM

I bought a Sage to see if I will like it, still within return window. I like the device, screen looks very good, but I do not like battery life. I loaded KOReader, and read a few books, took around 6 hours to drain the battery from 100% to 10%, wifi/BT off, backlight 0 or 15% depending on conditions. Is it normal battery life, or it might get better? I had to charge the battery to turn the device on once I took it out of the box.

No, it's not normal. KOReader is known for excessively draining the battery of the Sage, however. I think there is a setting to fix that, but I don't know what it is, as I don't use KOReader. Someone who does might know.

According to the KOReader GitHub:

You can fix this by enabling automatic standby under device settings.
