After updating my SenseCap T1000E to firmware 2.7, I'm getting three days of battery life now. That is up from what I was getting at 2 days and 20 hours. I think at least part of it is due to the fact that it's not transmitting telemetry anymore, which saves 48 packets per day from being transmitted over the mesh. However, I also disabled SX1262 RX Boosted Gain, which I think might have even more to do with it.

Well, i didnt let it drain to 0, but after 3 days 6 hours it was at 5%. Thats an extra 10 hours.

I decided to do an experiment, so I charged it back up to 100 and turned on RX Boosted Gain again. And to 5%, I got 2 days and 15 hours.

So with it turned off, I got an extra 16 hours of battery life to the same power level.
