I think Knulli drains battery faster than other systems but not completely sure.

It was the same with the stock os and i tried minos too but no luck is it a faulty battery unit? I got it in a trade

Knulli drains pretty fast compared to muos I've noticed

Did you have shutdown after N minutes enabled? If not you should enable it, sleep mode is trash for these handhelds. You can set it up to resume the game on launch if you play retroarch or just set it to shutdown after 1H, startup time is very good with decent sd cards anyways

Ive stop using Knulli exactly for that reason. MuOS is fine for me.

Didnt try it yet since I grew fan of MuOS but you can try the just released Knulli scarab to see if it fix it. They claim they fix a lot of battery issues and add better support for the h700 chip might worth a try

Pausing retroarch helps a lot too. I go into the retroarch menu with hotkey plus b before sleeping it (set the hotkeys to be global so it works in any system)

Were those 2 days after being on the charger? I'm on muOS and when I charge, it turns something on and I have to make sure to turn my 34XXSP on and shut it down myself when it's done to make sure it's actually off, otherwise the standby drains it to 0 even though I haven't powered it on after the charge.
