Make sure your firmware is up to date! We’ve made significant changes, improvements and bug fixes for most radio issues for capsule 2.0 & vision props. All your vision and capsule 2.0 props need to have the same firmware version to connect to each other, have the same modes, brightness and run-time, so make sure to update the firmware on all your props!

When a light is grouped and/or has its auto wake enabled, it uses a tiny bit of battery “listening” for signals to wake up. This can drain 5-30% of the battery in a week (depending on the prop type. capsules are the least, vision is the most).
The default "standby" setting is 8 hours. This means that if the light is powered off for 8+ hours the radio will turn off fully and use zero power afterwards. The light will no longer respond to the 'group on' signals until the button has been pressed.
The radio uses far less power than the LEDs, so it makes virtually no difference during use.
It is possible to turn the radio off by ungrouping your light (save red group, or delete current group).
Brightness:
Brighter modes use more power. The best way to save power is to choose a lower brightness level. It can more than double your runtime.

Auto-sleep/auto-wake:
Setting the "auto sleep" function can also save a lot of battery life by dimming or turning off your light when it's not in motion.

Standby:
Adjusting your "standby" setting to change how long the lights are listening for 'group-on' signals between uses
