Battery anxiety

[Raydonati]

New to thread. Have 75D model x planning on trip to Memphis. My question is we plan to be on cruise for 8 days. How much battery loss can I expect while sitting unplugged? First big trip and facing battery anxiety

If it's this time year and thus not cold out, you can expect to lose about 1-2 miles per day. Now that's with two caveats. One is that Sentry is turned off. That uses around 1 mile per hour. And second is making sure that Summon Standby (if equipped) is off. That uses a lot too. Not as much as Sentry but substantial. Lastly, resist the urge to keep waking it up with your app. If you do all of those things the phantom drain can be minimized to the small amount I listed above.

@Raydonati, what year is your 75D? Does it have MCU1 or MCU2? What will your charging situation be right before you park it and right after you pick it up?

2018 not sure on what MCU Should be able to park with at least 200 mi on battery

Thanks so much. Really helps.
