"smart" phone and the battery life sucks.




Power down your phone. Or alternatively, turn off blue tooth and wifi. When traveling, your phone will constantly search for a signal. That eats power. But you knew all this no? First road trip with mine and didn't charge it up till late that evening (still had a 70% charge). 570 mile back road trip, i.e., 12 hours.

Heck ANY phone will eat power when searching for a signal constantly.




One more thing that helps battery life when traveling, (if you can) switch the network from 4G to 3G.
