Is there a way to increase the battery life of the PinePhone?

[bcnaz]

I’m on Mobian, had the phone out for 10 hours (work), made a dozen or so calls and email, still at 50%; had really bad battery life with Manjaro.

Interesting, I think I'll try Mobian again these days  : )

The new keyboard is an available option now, I am using one now,
It has a double sized battery in it, added to the phones battery, it gives triple the current runtime.
It is a bit larger package this way, it is now sort of a min laptop.
My first post using the keyboard.

Yeah I saw that and it's pretty awesome.
To make calls the keyboard is not too disturbing?

Just got my keyboard yesterday afternoon,  and I am using it on one of my "test" phones, I have not made a call on it yet.
I am planning on trying that with an earphone,  the onboard microphone should work ok.
Perhaps speaker phone will suffice ?  The echo seems to almost disappear if you turn down the microphone volume.
Would only need an ear phone for private conversations.
But yes, putting a keyboard to your ear does not sound comfortable.
