@Александр,
Why do you question what I say.
I charged the batteries a day before we left for Germany.
The first date Sat. we were out for 4 hours hiking
Sun the whole day 7 hours
Monday 6 hours.
I am home now and the 66 still shows full battery.
If you like I will post a screenshot of the screen on the 66.
I already pointed out that most things are not in use.
NO WIFI, NO Bluetooth, The screen is off in 30 sec. screen saver is ON
I just turned on the 66 and the battery is still good to go after using it on the last date Oct. 5th. for 2 hours before leaving to drive home. It is now the 23 of Oct. and my Ikea batteries are still good to go.
That is without even using Expedition Mode.
So there is no magic in what I do the Ikea batteries are very good and the 66 is setup to give me the battery use.
