Battery Behemoth – Bitdefender Central Review

I’ve noticed a major drop off in my battery’s performance over the last few weeks. I went from charging overnight to multiple times a day. Avg daily screen time ~4.5 hours. My device is about a year and a half old, so I figured there’s no way the battery itself had degraded so drastically. To be safe, I checked my battery health anyway (89% maximum capacity) which is where I discovered the culprit: Bitdefender Central has been responsible for between 88-90% of battery usage each of the last three days. And it’s all from background activity! Look, I understand that preventative protection requires round the clock activity, but what good is the software if there isn’t a device to protect? Note: I just downloaded the most recent version, so it may just be a case of running outdated software. I’m not confident in this take, however, as the problem appeared well before this version’s release.
