Battery and navigation

@łukasz-szmigiel said in Battery and navigation:
My S5 is using approx 7% battery per hour. But I’m using two GNSS and the battery isn’t fresh (2019).
The OP is asking about the 5Peak, they are totally different watches.

@brad_olwin you’re right, I didn’t notice. Sorry about that.
S9PP 2.50.28

@łukasz-szmigiel I was getting quite a bit more battery life from the 5Peak than the 5.
-
@lesley-mackenzie would be interesting, if the S5 Peak did the job
-
To get max battery life for long all day activities I use the following settings
General settings - Power saving on
Connectivity settings - Airplane mode on
Activity settings - daily heartrate off
Sleep settings - sleep tracking off
Media controls offBefore recording an activity I also use a custom battery mode where I let the screen turn off during an activity
-
@łukasz-szmigiel thanks anyway
-
@chrisa after 12 hours it had 60 % battery left. It had tracked a gpx route for that time but I had forgotten to set it to record the run so not sure if that would have used up significantly more!
-
@activejiggy thanks
-
@lesley-mackenzie ah I see - thanks for sharing your experience. I have no idea if that’s true but I would assume, that tracking would not have used up those remaining 60%.
-
@chrisa I did extensive testing with a preproduction watch, as I stated below, on two long events I had 21h and 24h, respectively for predicted battery life. One was a long backcountry ski and the other a long run, both on Performance mode with OHR running.

@brad_olwin thanks that’s awesome. Will have a longer hike in August (around 12h) so everything should be fine

.Using GPS and heart rate for your trip should probably use about 50% of the battery with the other power saving mode enabled.
I use power saving mode and airplane mode when just wearing the watch, you’ll need to turn them off to sync.
