Really low battery life #73

Closed madushan1000 closed 10 months ago

madushan1000 commented 10 months ago

I'm using two nrfmicro controllers in this split keyboard. This is my zmk config. The keyboards does not have any power draining things like RGB/displays, but the battery life is really low, about 3 days with 80mah 301230 lipo battery.

Is this normal? any tips on how to improve it? Thank you :)

I also noticed now that there is about 20% battery drain overnight if I forget to turn off the keyboard even though the deep seep timeout is set to 15 mins.

Just in case someone come across this. Turns out, my <keyboard>.conf file was in the wrong path and never got included(file has to be directly under config/). so probably sleep/idle modes never got enabled. Fixed it and waiting to see how the battery life is now.
