Suunto 9 Baro quick discharge problem
-
Just to add my Penny’s worth. Charge my S9 last night from 2% to 100% went to bed with it on. When I woke up it was on 88% .

@Jonathan-Newby
The HRV detector needs a lot of battery -
@zhang965 don’t get me wrong. Not complaining just making an observation.

Observation - lost 50% in exactly 3 and a half days (charged just before midnight on sunday). Daily activity and sleep HR ON, Notifications OFF, Flight mode ON.
No other usage (including syncing or touching buttons), light OFF all the time. I had about similar percentage after the first night. That should be one week battery life as in specs, but I don’t know if they count in backlight and notifications. If they do, there’s no way to get 7 days battery life.BTW - I just saw reviews of Huawei GT2 (and Honor Magic 2), as a sort of competitor to Suunto 7 (and 9 in a way) for daily watch with sport features, and they get impressive battery life of 2 weeks with daily and nightly tracking, accurate GPS and OHR…at much lower price.

Before the HRV firstbeat feature (body resources) has been delivered, S9 could definitely go for a week or longer, but the HRV takes too much battery,
Have you tried to turn off the daily HR and see how it goes?

Daily HR and sleep tracking consume quite some battery. There is a thread about this in the forum.

@zhang965
I mentioned already I have tested it with everything turned off and got 16 days.
I haven’t tried with just daily HR turned off.Yes, I am aware it consumes the most juice and hope for some optimization in the future.

Hi All
Was any solution for quick discharge found?
I got a very similar problem after I forgot to charge my watch and they were discharged to 0%
Now after charging they discharging very quickly (~2% per hour, 2-day max battery life without any activities)
I tried the next solution- Soft reset
- Factory reset
- I disable Sleep monitoring and daily HR monitoring
- I turn on flight mode
In all cases, battery life was almost the same from 40 to 45 hours
Is any way to figure what is going on?
Thanks -
@Jenya-Obolonskiy maybe battery got uncalibrated? Try to charge it to 100% and leave it there for a while after. Try to see if the watch turns off at 0% or not. And if nothing works, contact support.

Send it to suunto customer service before getting worse

From my S9 Baro:
In 4 days the battery was totaly drain. Without any activity. Backlight 35% and everything on(sleep, 24/7 tracking, notification). When I’ve brought this watch, Suunto said that the 24/7 tracking and notification = 7 days. And why now we are trying to: disable this, and this and this? When normally, the watch should last 7 days? Ok, I can understand if there are 6 days. But when are 4 days (almost half of 7), I’m sorry but something is weird…
I’ve brought this watch 1 year and 5 months ago…Best,

I have a brand new S9 Baro, one of the gold/leather ones. With around 60-90mins of training each day (GPS on but HR off) I get around 4 days off a full charge. I do have sleep tracking, daily HR and mobile notifications on but yeah, would’ve thought I’d be able to get a bit longer than this. That said, the battery consumption during exercise seems to be pretty good; it’s the daily use where it falls the fastest.
I recently upgraded from a COROS Apex 46mm and I could get close to 10 days from that watch before it needed charging. -
@MiniForklift This may be about right, the 24/7 HR and sleep tracking together cause a fair bit of drain. Are you on Android or iOS? I typically do not sleep with my S9 as it is kinda big. Do you enable auto DnD when sleeping?

I read on FB Run Iq, someone with same issue, and he has solved it with a serious baro sensor cleaning.
Not explained clearly there, but maybe the sensor is over busied when too dirty.
Worth a try to confirm, isn’t it?
Will give the link if I find it, but FB is not a forum, and hard to find stuff again. -

@Mff73 To support your link, i would only copy the Dimitrios’s message In our forum mentioned n the FB.
There is a problem with your barometer.
Either it had water either it’s dirty either it’s faulty.
Soak the watch into lukewarm water.
Flush under the tap with water the pressure holes
Repeat x3
Also might help using a baby tooth brush and gently cleaning those holes on the watch. -
@Brad_Olwin I’m on iOS. I sleep with it on but I do flick it onto DND before I go to sleep
-
@MiniForklift I am wearing mine for awhile with everything turned on to get a comparison.
