Just be sure and fire it up whenever there are firmware updates and let it update (then test it out) so that you aren’t scrambling trying to make it work or get updated when you actually need it. For me, I just leave it outdoors and on the charging pad so it’s ready to go at all times.
Yeah, that is the reason for my reluctancy. I just don’t want to go without the Firmware Updates. Yet, I do want a long-lasting battery. However, as mentioned, scrambling for the latest Firmware Updates would suck!
