The battery on Vertical 2 is draining very quickly.

Frederick Rochette

Since my last 100% recharge, my SUUNTO Vertical 2 has been discharging very quickly.
0.5% per hour without recording any activity, whereas before the last charge it was more like 0.34% per hour with at least one activity per day.
I charged it to 100% last night at 10:30 p.m. and this morning at 6:15 a.m. it was at 95%… today at 4 p.m., it is at 89%… At this rate, it won’t even last the week. I should point out that I haven’t changed any of the settings.

@Frederick-Rochette I did a run with red light on and performance mode. Aod off. In 54min of activity it used 15%. I’m a bit concerned.

I have about the same experience.
100% at midnight
95% when I woke up at 6am
89% when I got back from work at 4:30pm

Aod on, medium brightness, 2x6min bikerides for commuting
Notification turned on but not connected to my phone during work hours.

I upgraded from my Garmin Fenix 6 to get better battery life, not worse…

Several Vertical 1 has the same problem after the last update.

Have to confirm. My SV1 lost more than 12% while lying on my desk over night without any activity, no HR activated …

@Marijus-Siegel I’m not sure what red light on is but something is wrong. I was out for four hours yesterday, AOD on, HR via watch. I didn’t touch the screen much when out, for the whole day the watch dropped around 10%. Light levels is set to low.

I’m guessing the watch is using around 2% during GPS activity. Maybe flicking between screen or having map active might use more.

For reference the watch was fully charged 9 days ago, 20 hours of activities, 12 hours with GPS. Battery is at 28%.

I do not have 24 hour HR, Sleep Tracking or similar on. Notification are on. AOD set to low and display only.

Hopefully Suunto will identify the issue soon.

Do you have a V2?
If yes do you know it has a flash ? Including a red one .

Audaxjoe

@Mff73 yes have the V2 and V1. Still not sure what you mean you had the red light on. Like you had the torch on all the time?

I didn’t realise you could change colour to red ️

My first impression was very positive and honestly surprising. After charging to 100% and logging all my activities, the watch lasted about 10.5 days with the following settings:
• Always On Display (AOD)
• 24/7 heart rate and HRV tracking
• Notifications enabled
• Do Not Disturb (DND) from 21:45 to 6:00
• Average of ~1 hour of GPS activity with HR belt per day

However, after the second charge to 99%, the battery drain increased dramatically. Within just two days (October 18–19), the battery dropped from 99% to 78%, despite only a few short activities — mostly indoor, with a single 10-minute GPS session.

Same firmware on the watch?

greku

@Squirrel Yes, 2.46.12
Today, it’s been about 48 hours since the last charge, and I’m at 75%.
I think the issue might have been when it was at 99%, but I checked a few times and it never reached 100%. I had to go out, so I unplugged it.

@greku I had same experience. Charge went up to 99% and stood there. After that in 48h it went to 81%. Then I did shut down bluetooth discovery for other devices and now after four and a half day I have 66% left. I don’t know if discovery mode have something to do with battery consumption.
