I figure you guys actually know, first hand, what hardware is inside the Canon R5. There is a debate on another forum about batteries and how best to store your camera.
What I plan to do in the future is to store the camera without the battery. If I store the camera with the battery in it, the battery discharges within a few months. My experience is with the R5C but I assume the R5 also has this characteristic as well. I just haven't stored my R5 for as long a period. Also, it seems that the Bluetooth is always on unless turned off via menu settings. Possibly the Wi-Fi works similarly.
I assume the settings are in some type of non-volatile memory and should survive indefinitely without power. Someone pointed out that there is a button battery that keeps the clock running and it could go completely dead and is not cheap to replace. They also claim that this button battery is recharged from the main battery.
I would assume the button battery powers the clock all the time and I would also assume that the main battery does not recharge it since batteries that last a long time such as button batteries are generally not rechargeable. Perhaps the main battery takes over the job when it is installed.
Can you share your knowledge?
