The thing I'm sure of, is the v47 doesn't consume more or less than v46.

You have to find why you see battery drain elsewhere, maybe you have installed another program power consuming since v47 ...

Also, since you have the 'b27x00_battery' loaded, then chances are bme crash like 'joerg_rw' explained ...

After this stated, reading Wiki, bme seem also to control the battery charge, stopping himself during the charge of the battery (if I understand properly).

And I'm pretty sure this step is required to properly calibrate battery charging ...

A++
