Is it normal that my OLED discharges 20% per day in standby?

  The OLED model has a special Bluetooth model that can wake the system from standby. This causes excessive power drain. You can try disabling Bluetooth if you’re not using any Bluetooth accessories.

    Bluetooth is disabled, as is the Wi-Fi antenna. Which I always do with any devices I turn things off that I don’t need.

  Yes, standby is a bit crap

    Thank you. Was wondering if mine was normal in this way after having it for over six months.

  It’s the stanby/quick restart that’s doing it. It’s literally staying on. Best to use the power/shut down option in the menu vs just hitting the power button. Same was happening to me before I figured it out.

    Thanks for that. I’ve been thinking of it as a sleep/hibernate function but obviously it’s not. Linux still hasn’t seemed to figure that one out for some reason. Not Steam’s fault.

      Linux has a hibernate function, but the power button activates Sleep, which is higher-consumption. There may be a way to set it to actually hibernate on button press, but I’ve only seen Hibernation via Desktop Mode.

      Sleep = keep processes in memory = more power consumption.

      Hibernation = write most processes to disk and keep only vital system processes in memory = less power consumption.

      Try putting a laptop running Windows to sleep for a week and see if it has any battery left.

  In stand by you figure that the volatile memory needs to be kept powered so I’m kinda not surprised when the nature of the battery discharging when “shutdown” is a thing.

    Thanks yeah I figured. I’m not being very scientific about it yet but for instance none of my laptops discharge that much if I shut the lid and walk away for a couple days, but then again they’re bigger cells.

      I think they eventually write to disk and hibernate after a while but I might be wrong.
