Latest release kills battery

Took a bike out for a test ride today. Used MRA on my fully chargesd iphone 15 max. 2.5hours later my phone was down to 2% the only app I was using on the phone was MRA.
Anyone else seen this issue and any way to make MRA last all day.
Version 4.3.8

@Michael-Rhys that's why the advise is to use an external power supply
Honda Goldwing GL1500,
Honda Silverwing GL 650
DMD2 T865X 8 inch Android tablet using MRA next for navigation
Garmin XT (almost in the cupboard)
Samsung S20FE mounted on a Quadlock and using Android Auto in my car -
@Marinus-van-Deudekom Its not always possible, like in the situation today, or if you are keeping your phone in your pocket and using a car play device. Google maps does not destroy the battery as much.

@Michael-Rhys of you have your phone in your pocket because you're using CarPlay make shure that your phones screen is off and maybe connect it to a powerbank

I am currently experiencing very variable battery consumption. Last week I did a ride of almost 200 km. While doing so, I used the BMW connect app, MRA and internet radio, charging the phone wirelessly through the bike (R1250RT).
Started with the battery at about 83%. At the break after 1 1/2 hours, the battery was found to be at 84%. So there was about 1% more charging. At lunch after about 3 hours, the battery was still 83% full. So the consumption was compensated with charging. However, on returning home after 4 1/2 hours, the battery showed 67%. So despite wireless charging, it had lost 16% more after the midday break.
No idea why the phone was consuming more after midday, then.
I'm going to see if I can measure the temperature in the (ventilated) compartment where the phone is located and charged. Maybe the rise in temperature could be a cause.Ik ervaar momenteel het batterijverbruik als zeer wisselend. Afgelopen week een rit van bijna 200 km gemaakt. Daarbij gebruik gemaakt van de BMW connect app, MRA en internet radio.
Daarbij wordt de telefoon draadloos geladen via de motorfiets (R1250RT).
Gestart met de batterij op ongeveer 83%. Bij de pauze na 1 1/2 uur bleek de batterij op 84% te staan. Er was dus ongeveer 1% meer opgeladen.
Bij de lunch na ongeveer 3 uur bleek de batterij nog voor 83% gevuld. Het verbruik werd dus met het opladen gecompenseerd.
Echter bij thuiskomst na 4 1/2 uur gaf de batterij 67% aan. Ondanks het draadloos opladen was deze dus na de middagpauze 16% meer kwijt geraakt.
Geen idee waarom de telefoon na de middag dus meer verbruikte.
Ik ga eens kijken of ik de temperatuur in het (geventileerde) vakje waar de telefoon in ligt en opgeladen wordt, kan meten. Misschien dat de stijging van de temperatuur een oorzaak kan zijn.met een R1250RT met TFT en BMW Connected Ride App; de Garmin Zumo XT en My Route App in combinatie met de Carpuride W702 (voor Android op de Motor!)

It probably wasn't
Charging wirelessly is sometimes hit and miss...I am not affiliated with MyRoute-App. The help I am offering is entirely voluntary.
I am just an enthusiastic user, and hope you will be one too!Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

Yesterday I tried something new. My BMW R1250RT has the phone storage compartment with the option for wireless charging. But in that same (vented) compartment is also a USB connection.
Riding the first few hours with the phone charging wirelessly, the battery capacity thereby changed from 73 to 56%.
Then connected the phone with a USB cable. After about 1 hour I checked and found that the capacity was now almost 80%. conclusion; wireless charging is possible but using a cable is better.Gisteren heb ik wat nieuws geprobeerd. Mijn BMW R1250RT heeft de opbergvak voor de telefoon met de mogelijkheid voor draadloos opladen. Maar in datzelfde (geventileerde) vak zit ook een USB aansluiting.
De eerste paar uur gereden waarbij de telefoon draadloos opgeladen werd. De accu capaciteit wijzigde daarbij van 73 naar 56%.
Vervolgens de telefoon met een USB kabeltje aangesloten. Na ongeveer 1 uur gekeken en toen bleek dat de capaciteit inmiddels bijna 80% was.
conclusie; draadloos opladen kan maar met een kabeltje gaat het beter. -
No matter which phone you use and which navigation app you use. Always connect your phone to a powersupply when navigation is active.
Navigation is power hungry. The real power consumption depends on the tasks a navigation app must execute.Wireless charging can work. But it is important the phone is fixated steady on the base. Otherwise the charging can be interrupted. Also wireless charging generates more heat and navigation generates heat also. double heat production can slow down the wireless charging speed.
Wired charging, charges faster (normally), is more reliable and generates less heat. 3x better. -

That is definitely correct! Charging wirelessly has a maximum of 15W, of which sometimes more than half gets lost due to incorrect placement, or distances created by cases and things like that. That is really no comparison to cabled charging. Even with cabled charging many things have influence, but then more hardware related. Cable quality, sustained charging protocols by your charger and phone etc.
