Has anyone else noticed a poor battery life for this “refurbished” item?
I am still waiting on a tracking number for the one I ordered. 
If and when it arrives, I will test and revisit to update you. 
Hey there, I would advise you reach out to our CS team for an update on the tracking. Please use the Customer Service form and they’ll be happy to help.
Mine did show up… finally… And compared to my brother’s fuill-size iPad, it doesn’t last as long. But I also put a Mint SIM in it and use it. I figure with both radios and a smaller battery, it shouldn’t last as long as his does. I do get about 4-5 hours of use out of a charge, which I can live with, especially since I carry a powerbank big enough to fully charge it two times over.
Thanks for the update!
