• Are you saying that serial console is enabled by default?

    No, only if D28 is pulled high. If floating it's fine.

    What are your suggestions on saving power?

    If it's just the LDR I'd maybe see what happens with a fresh battery for now. I'd take the battery percentage reading with a grain of salt - it's not super accurate since the voltage changes with temperature (and the make of battery!).

    You're definitely running firmware 2v09? With the Puck and LDR I seem to recall I got at least 3 months out of it. Potentially you could even look at adding a rechargeable battery and solar cell.

    Something like a single LiFePo4 or 2x NiMh batteries would be great. There's so little power drawn than even a small solar cell would easily keep it going forever
