The thing that kills mine is the cold. Lasted 2 days at a time on my CO and ID trips only using OnX. Brought 2 anker portable battery chargers as well. I had an iPhone 6 and would lose more battery while sleeping than during the day actually using it
My battery case more than doubles my phones useable time to over two days of pretty heavy use. And keeping the phone warm helps the battery life. How else would I be able to update my BHOD status ;-) Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Keep it in your sleeping bag (in addition to any water filter if freezing temps) and inside any insulating layer. Cold kills batteries.
I used to through my sawyer squeeze in there til I got smart and went with a steripen. I dont know why I never thought to throw the phone in there
i change my phone settings on my samsung, it shuts down most apps and functions but can still use phone, text, pictures, and browse interwebz if so desired. makes battery last at least twice as long, i also always keep and external battery charger pack in my bag. settings device maintenance battery you get 3 options off mid and max. while i hunt ill go to max, but half the time i walk around daily on mid. and this is an on off function, can change it at anytime
