The RAK seems to be very power efficient as compared to the heltes v3 boards. One battery pack would me about 4 days on a full charge with a Heltec.
The company said they are going to replace the one which can not be put into u2f upload mode and I'm still waiting for that to arrive (shipping takes about a month). So looks like RAK is redeeming themselves.
I think the amperage I was seeing was not from the RAK itself, but rather from the power board that I have installed with nothing wired into it. The numbers show up under the environmental sensors section, which was my clue. I'd expect those numbers to be all zeros, so that's concerning, but that's something I can look onto further once I get a second unit working.
