It’s total nonsense that a device designed with a battery can’t operate an acceptable amount of days without recharging and is not intended to use on the battery. 

They call my Halo a TABLE STAND , how much tables have a power outlet built in ?!  

 

1100 mah’s gobbled in 24 hours for a device with such a small screen, very tight programmed screensaver time and simple networking capabilities is nothing but absurd.

Series 7 iwatch with it’s 300 (!) mah battery and retina Oled sceen:

All-day battery life is based on 18 hours with the following use: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use, and a 60-minute workout with music playback from Apple Watch via Bluetooth, over the course of 18 hours. Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS) usage includes connection to iPhone via Bluetooth during the entire 18-hour test. Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS + Cellular) usage includes a total of 4 hours of LTE connection and 14 hours of connection to iPhone via Bluetooth over the course of 18 hours.

It’s just messy programming or a bug. Hopefully fixed before I start using my Halo as an overpriced paperweight.

 

 

Living room Halo: on an end table with the usb cable running behind the table.

Kitchen Halo: on the countertop connected to power.

Bedroom Halo: on the nightstand with the usb cable running behind the nighstand

Bathroom Halo: on the wall always connected to power

Office Halo: on my desk always connected to my computer for power

None of these Halos ever need to be moved. They function as they should as a fixed remote,

I have to recharge them two to three times a week. Note: both Halo's are only used on batteries. 

That is pretty much my experience too. Maybe twice a week. Though, it sits on the sideboard in living room where I constantly pass on my way to working desk, balcony etc so it gets "woken up" a lot during the day. Would be great that the battery lasts even longer, but my experience so far is not as disappointing as it is for some other owners.
