fw 6.00 battery drain

After installation of new firmware 6.00 i've noticed some excessive battery drain. Usually the battery consumption was 6/7% per hour. Now is 10/11%. Same sensors, same usage, same routes. Someone experienced the same????

The battery seems to drain quicker after the update. This is with all settings the same for me. Backlight on and auto brightness. GPS on. Certainly I would think that by disabling either of these things it would reduce the drain but that doesn’t mean it’s the cause. My guess is it’s something they’re doing different to maintain connections.

That said, it’s still way better than my 800.

Today a graveride for 2 hours. Cadens, hartrate an speedsensor. BT for the phone. I lost 40% in this smal ride.

That's not normal

All the settings have not changed since first time and then it was about 7/8 % a hour.

Seems good to me. I had phone, power meter, Di2, Speed Sensor, HTM, Light/Radar connected. Road 3hrs 40mins (elapse time) and battery went from 99 to 83%

By the way the 5:15mins was the elapsed time and the actual ride time was 4:41mins. and also BT to phone was connected. Battery from 99% down to 79%. Thanks for the reply.
