Does GPS module drain battery fast?

[mus377]

Hi all,

I was just found out that when I'm connected my GPS module my lipo duration drain faster, is that normal...?

When my drone was disconnected the GPS Module seem to me the flight time a bit longer.

First my impression might be wrong so I'm ignore it, but when investigate it's was true.

Was that really normal?

Yes it can drain your battery faster. What type of drone are you flying?

Thank you for your reply....
By the way if I'm attaching li-ion 2s 14500 with mini regulator only for GPS Module how long the GPS will last...

Ah, so you have a diy drone you built, correct? Wish I could help with your question, but unfortunately I'm not familiar with that setup or those modifications. Hopefully someone can answer your question on how long the GPS will last from their experience. Can you post some pictures of what you have there?
