I have a Seeed SenseCAP T1000-E running fw 2.7.3 and with boosted gain turned off my node drained to 5% in 3 days and 6 hours. With boosted gain on though i have only gotten 2 days 15 hours to 7%. I know they are not the same, but i doubt i would get 16 more hours out of it.

I did some maths:
95%/78h ~ 1.21 %/h93%/63h ~ 1.48 %/hDifference: Gain drains
