Ionic Battery life while playing Pandora

[Ebojager]

Hello, I haven't had my Ionic that long and have been spending most of my time with the new update and syncing issues. Ive pretty much given up on the Weather app but I started linking my Ionic to my car stereo and, its pretty cool to be streaming music from your watch.

My question is, is their a base battery life while streaming music? 

Mine seemed to die pretty quick this morning while streaming music, maybe an hour or less, I think I was about 50% charge when I started.

Thanks for any comments, I am on 3.0, but haven't noticed any rapid drain under normal use (no workouts, just wearing it all day and night 20sec dimmer set).

In my case the drain on the battery when streaming music from my Ionic was an additional 10% per hour. Without streaming my battery drops about 10% per day.

@Ebojager I hope you're doing well! Thanks for taking the time to post your inquiry about battery life while using music streaming on Ionic. Thanks for sharing all of those details regarding this.

In this case, different functions on your watch will drain battery quickly. Music streaming is one of them. However, I don't have a rate of how much battery is spent while using this. In this case, the usage of the Pandora app plus the Bluetooth usage on you car stereo should drain the battery quickly.

I'd recommend checking these tips to improve the battery on your watch. 

If you keep experiencing syncing issues, please follow these steps to sort it out.

Just wanted to follow up on my battery life experience while playing music. Last night I left on my trip at 54% and streamed non stop for 3 hours, and after 2 hours I was still at 42%. This was pretty good, dint know what happened last time.
