Hmmm...really? That's disappointing...I really want something that will last at least one day before it needs a recharge.

The RAK units I have now have been up for days (one on my desk right now has been on for 44 hours, and is at 53%...and I think I've restarted it a few times as well).

While I like the idea of a keyboard (well, I love the idea of a keyboard and a self-contained device) the battery life of the RAK is really tough to beat (and again a great "selling feature" of those units and #meshtastic in general)

Yeah the t-deck is kinda power hungry like a cellphone.. would go for 5000mAh or more if I had to buy a new battery now.

Also when buying a battery, check the polarity… bought on with a connector on it that was not correct and almost fried my t-deck

Hmmm...good advice...did you print your own case? (Thinking if you have a large battery, that it might not fit in the available cases).

Yes I’ve printed a case created by AllyCat, she has created a lot of cool cases also that can fit thicker batteries, you can find them on makerworld.

Well, I ordered the T-Deck Plus (figured the GPS module would be good to have, and you also get the battery). And they had 10% off for black friday, so that essentially paid for shipping.

I can always print a new / different case if needed...but will see what "stock" gets me (thinking it'll likely work for my use case).

😃 Will keep you posted on my progress...

Ah nice! great option.. I bought everything separately because I wanted to do it as a small project.. but the t-deck plus is a great alternative indeed.
