I got the 10Ah version in october 2025 and have tested it to last 50 days once already and am at 42 days as of now
Ia there much mesh traffic where you are? How many nodes do you see?
At the moment, unfortunately, no. General average is about 5 to 10 nodes.
The battery life makes more sense now. As the mesh grows, retransmission increases and therefore power consumption. Either way, the 10Ah Heltec would last the longest.
It's a portable device, so I always run mine in client mute, so it's not retransmitting other packets, because it's kind of pointless to do so with such a small antenna.
Oh yeah that also increases batt life.
