How long is the battery life realistically lasting?

Are you turning your device off after each use OR just at the end of the day?

    I’ve acquired my rM2 during its preorder campaign and have used it basically daily since, between a couple minutes and altogether an hour or two a day.

    I don’t turn it off. I only really ever use the power button to wake it. On the odd occasion if it hasn’t fallen asleep before I have to bag it when I’m on the move, I’ll tap the power button to make it sleep. That’s really rare though because usually it will have already gone to sleep by itself, or I’ll just close the folio and trust that no touch interactions will occur.

    I also don’t proactively charge it, like I would my phone, my watch or other light-emitting devices. I might turn it on and see on the file screen that it’s somewhere under 40% on a given day, and if I remember, I might leave it on a charger before I go to bed. As a result, I really don’t pay any mind to the amount of time between charging; because it lasts so relatively long, charging it is a genuine afterthought.

    If I really think about it, I can probably go more than a week without charging and even then the tablet would have had a day to three in it still. I’m pretty sure during lower activity periods, I could have gone as long as two weeks without thinking to charge it.
