3: More help you mean? What exactly is unclear?

MCP starts to get old, and nRF Connect is intended to be its successor. However, I doubt that this will have any effect on this particular issue.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes
The nRF51 only keeps advertising and we have tested 7 days advertising which does not drain the battery.
This could be a possibility.Our error scenario does a sd_softdevice_disable() and re-initialises the whole stack.Need more pointers for this.

On another note, we use MCP as mentioned above.Will anything change if I use the nrf Connect or whatever is the latest tool for programming over DFU.

Are you saying that the battery still has a sufficient voltage to power the nRF51 after the 7 days?
I suppose you have some sort of mechanism to connect and disconnect the devices every minute? Is it possible that the nRF51 keeps trying to connect and that this results in an error handler or a drained battery?
Have you defined DEBUG in your application? If so your application might end up in an endless while loop on errors or asserts.
