Erratic performance of badger OS when using battery

[bjohas]

With the badger on usb power, it’s nicely responsive. However, on battery, the exact same disk image reacts differently.

For example,

• the QR code app usually doesn’t launch when selected from the menu. Also, when it launches, it flashes the ‘no qr codes’ text, despite a qr code existing. When I press up or down, the QR code appears. The happens both on AA power and LiPo.
• On USB power, the QR code app launches straight away, and straight away displays the QR code.

Also, the

• A+C combination doesn't work reliably on battery power - it takes several tries to exit an application
• On USB power, no problem.

I’m running the latest image (v1.19.16 micropython).
