Hello,
I have bought the Pocket3 10 days ago ("standard" pack), it is a great little cam
I would like to buy next the battery handle, but I'm looking for informations about it, as I have seen some weird things.
I have taken some USB-c current mesurement with the (great and genuine) RDTech TC66 USB-c Meter: the Pocket3, after reaching 100% battery and with oled screen OFF, draws continously 129mA at 5V, or 59mA at 12V in quickcharge mode.
Also I have seen that if I touch the screen in OFF state, or press the 5D joystick: the internal hardware wakes up (but not the screen) and draws about 300mA@5V and about 130mA@12V (quickcharge), and goes then to sleep after about 30s.
I don't know why the Pocket3 still draws so much current after full charge, whereas if I unplugged it, and power it OFF with a long press on the record button (I use this more than rotating the screen): the Pocket3 goes to deep sleep about 5min after, and no battery drain at all - which is a super great thing (even after 2-3 days)
(You can check the Deepsleep state if DJI logo on boot => P3 was on deepsleep mode)
Is this current consumption is a bug of USB-c controller not going to deepsleep mode ?
I have found this topic: https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=322602 where DJI Gamora told that interesting thing:
"When connected to Osmo Pocket 3, it can extend the operating time for Osmo Pocket 3. When using the device with the battery handle, the power consumption priority is given to the battery handle, which also charges the device simultaneously. Once the device has been fully charged by the battery handle, another charging cycle will only be triggered when the battery level drops below 95%."
With the mesurement I have made and the continous USB-c power consumption: I'm wondering if the Battery handle would self-discharge when all is powered off and the Pocket3 is at 100% level ? So with 950mA of theorical capacity: the battery handle would be empty after about 7hours of no use ?
It is not very eco-friendly thing, and it will make some battery wear (charge-discharge cycles) without even use it.
So we must always plug and unplug it ?
Thanks !
