OK I finished up a Battery Amnesia drawdown and apparently there is no gain on battery hold there. About an hour and a half. Is interesting to compare the drawdown time diff between BA and just having PBook on. I realize BA is instrumenting processing power to rush drawdown but I wonder just how much in comparison to real world pbook use?
I'm just guessing but BA may also allow for a somewhat deeper drain. If you let the PB sit it will reach a certain voltage and then auto-initiate sleep. BA I think keeps it running until the power supply shuts down due to low voltage (done to prevent errant data from corrupting things). The power supply shut down voltage is less than the sleep inducing voltage. Now if you let it go to sleep and then let it sleep for long enough it likely amounts to the same thing.
