Mobilink P60II battery draining faster when VPN is active. Diagnosing possible causes and outlining safe, non-invasive field solutions.
This assists in identifying potential software-related power management issues.
Different protocols have varying performance impacts.
High data usage contributes to battery drain.
VPN usage increases CPU load due to encryption/decryption processes, increasing power consumption. Network modules consume more power maintaining a VPN tunnel, including re-keying protocols and increased packet overhead. Increased data transmission via cellular networks, especially across long distances or in areas with weak signal strength, will require more power from the radio frequency (RF) components.
The Mobilink P60II exhibits reduced battery life when connected to a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Users report significantly shorter operational periods compared to scenarios without VPN connectivity.
Do not attempt to open or disassemble the Mobilink P60II. This device contains tamper-evident seals. Breaking these seals will void the warranty and may compromise the device's security. If the device is overheating, immediately disconnect it from the power source and allow it to cool down before handling. Always use the supplied power adapter and cable.
Regularly clean the device's exterior with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures. Ensure proper cable strain relief to prevent damage to the charging port. Periodically check battery health statistics (if available).
Consider using a portable USB power bank to supplement battery life during periods of heavy VPN usage. Ensure the power bank is from a reputable brand and has appropriate safety certifications (e.g., UL, CSA). A high-quality ferrite choke on the power supply cord *may* help to reduce some EMI interference, though this effect will be minimal.
