As someone that designs battery powered RF devices. It's shocking an disheartening seeing stuff like that.

Things drawing an average of a few hundred microamps while the fan is running. Probably because it's blasting a keep alive packet once a second or so. It does that because a transceiver costs an extra 50 cents.
