What is the expected battery life of the new Go 2 camera?  
what should I expect to see as a drawdown % of battery each day.? If I’m not using video, but just checking the device battery?

does the Cell tower signal strength matter, I.e. how many bars I have in terms of battery usage? Camera works fine, but occasionally goes off line.  
what are the biggest battery usage features  and settings in the app, that use up battery life, besides using video.

can I deactivate the wifi modem if I’m not suing it?  And, Will that save battery life?

There's a lot to be determined via real world testing. Better signal strength no doubt will be a major factor. If you can use WiFi normally and use LTE for backup purposes, that would be the best plan.

 

Checking battery life isn't the same as recording live viewing so battery life won't be affected. 

 

When offline, use the web client to make sure it's not an app issue.

 

If you don't have WiFi set up, I would think there would no battery usage, at least not detectable.
