Suunto Vertical 2 - Battery burner?
-
Hello,
I’ve got my Vertical 2 yesterday and did a full charge of the battery. That, setting up all sensors, choosing a watchface (90th anniversary orange) and downloading maps via WLAN was finished about 2pm. Today in the morning (after apx. 18 hours) my battery was down to 75%. (no activity logged, no always on!)SO I checked again, removed the WLAN connection and disabled it, switched to another watchface and charged again to 100%. Now, some 2 hours later, I’m on 96%. That’s apx. 2%/hour, which would give me a bit more that twos days in smart watch only mode?
Either I have done something very bad or the watch has an issue. Any suggestions where to look?
Thx, Joe

@johann.fuehrer If your watch is new you may wait for full discharge/charge cycle for battery calibration. That may explain.

@Tieutieu OK, I’ll try. Thank You!

I had the same issue. Still have the same watch face and WLAN on. Only thing I turned off that fixed battery for me was Bluetooth Discoverable setting. Once connected to your phone it does not need to be Discoverable anymore. And oddly just turning that off increased my battery life considerably -
Yesterday I charged my watch to 100% and disconnected it from the charger. After that, I only changed the watch face 2–3 times and explored some settings. About an hour later, the battery had already dropped to 96%.
To verify whether it was a real battery drain or just a reporting issue, I performed a soft reset. After the reboot, the battery level jumped back to 99%.
This makes me question the accuracy of the battery percentage reporting. A 4% drop in one hour from such light usage seems excessive, but the battery recovering to 99% after a restart suggests the percentage calculation may not have been correct in the first place.

@Kraisun-Tunta I noticed the same with my SV2…
