Spotlight cam Pro solar issues vs Ring Spotlight cam solar

I’ve recently replaced my aging and water filled Ring Spotlight cam solar with a new Spotlight cam Pro. I’ve also purchased the new larger solar panel to keep the Spotlight Cam Pro nicely topped up. I’m seeing some issues compared to the trusty old Spotlight cam. The new Pro is connected to the new solar panel and is in the location where my previous camera was. My previous camera had two batteries in and pretty much maintained 100% charge all year round. Even in winter when the temperature drops and the amount of sunlight is very low, I didn’t once need to take the batteries out to charge them in 5 years. My new Spotlight cam Pro is losing 10% charge a day with only 1 or 2 activations. Meanwhile, my relocated old Spotlight cam (they are very close to each other) is still maintaining 100% charge. To compound matters, the Pro seems to think it has a solar panel connected whether it does or not, even after a reboot and reinstall. It always states Solar Status Connected even if I disconnect it. Compared to the old Spotlight cam which states: Solar Status Connected (the text is green and there’s additional text to state a solar panel is connected and is able to charge the device. There’s also an image of the camera with a solar panel next to the old Spotlight cam. With the old camera it’s clear there’s a solar panel connected and that it’s able to charge the device. The new device is giving me zero confidence that the solar panel is having any impact and the inconsistency in how it’s presented in the app isn’t filling me with confidence either. RSSI is 54 and the cam connects instantly. My old cam is further away from the house so the RSSI is higher, yet it’s not draining the battery as the new one is. Is this expected behaviour? Are the new cameras really that thirsty or is the solar panel not working as it should? Should I see in the app that a solar panel is connected and capable of charging the device as I do with the older model? Any help would be appreciated as so far I don’t feel this is an upgrade at all.
