Battery drain

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Please keep in mind that battery needs a full circle 0-100 to calibrate. Thus you might see faster drops near 50-100 and slower at lower percentages.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos That’s a problem with the SV. It takes ages before it’s totally empty

I still haven’t used the charger since the watch is delivered. And it will take a couple of weeks I guess.

@surfboomerang I only used it because I needed more maps

@surfboomerang You can leave the watch with an activity started and wait 2 days to drain the battery!

during my last activities battery drain was ~5% in one hour. I lost 50% of battery in 10 hours bike ride - custom sport mode, weather + climb sport apps and navigation where I had more than half of the time only black tiles…

Did you checked if backlight is off ??

[dombo]

@Tieutieu yes, it is off. in standby battery is OK

So this happened today…

Yesterday I went to bed and had still more than 30% of battery left.

I however woke up with 16% battery left, not sure what happened overnight, but I have also had only 51 minutes of sleep recorded. 16% is still enough, so I went out for a bike ride. When I started the activity, the battery prediction showed only 2 hours of activity left - that was strange. I changed the Battery mode from Performance to Endurance, which showed 3 hours - so I went for the bike ride. After 30 minutes the watch turned the power saving mode on, and shortly after that turned itself off.

So yesterday at 22:30 it was 30%+ and today around noon 0%. Standby is OFF. Brightness and Rise to wake on Low. Any idea?

@tomasbartko First, did you check Standby backlight? Second, has the battery cycled from 100% to 0% to calibrate? The percent battery may not be correct, see posts on this.

@Brad_Olwin I have Standby turned off, but I didn’t go through the first cycle. I have read comments about the first cycle, but have never experienced this with previous watches (also from other brands). Is this “Vertical specific”?

[isazi]

@dombo using two S+ apps results in twice the battery consumption

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@isazi even if an app just displays the notes or some very simple stuff?

[isazi]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel seems so to me, I think it needs further optimization

Hi, I want to cycle the battery from 100% to 0%.
Currently it is 20%, is it necessary to completely drain the battery or do I have to charge it before?

Thank you

Interested with the answer too ! Currently 4%…it’s hard to get it to 0% !!

@Tieutieu
I’ve done a dummy activity to drain completely to 0%.
it’s not too hard when gnss is active, it actually goes very fast… at least in my case

[Jugger]

@Tieutieu I did battery draining with max light (always on) and maps open inside my home.

[babychai]

may i know under what condition need to do battery calibration? is it every new watch recommended to do battery calibration?

[sartoric]

@babychai
basically every electronic gadget need a battery calibration once

[babychai]

@sartoric haha alright, thanks. trying to drain the battery to 0% now. seem like the battery is very tough. using hiking mode with turn on the backlight and battery very stubborn to drop
