[WATCH] Battery drain out quickly

Gabriel.S

Hello, i’ve got the same problem before the update my SSSWHR lose 10% of charge per day, now it’s 20%.
Only in the night (7 hours) in DND mode it lose 10%.

Frédéric Fiandino

@gabriel-s hi, i’ve hard reset via suuntolink last night. And I let the battery completely discharge for to recharge it completely.
Since 9h00 i lost 2%.

Bonne journée

@Frédéric-Fiandino @Gabriel-S
I’m keeping mine monitored.

24/7
no BT
Chrono Watchface

4h => -2%

sartoric

@sartoric
Done 1h/1,5h activities
GPS almost always on (Best)
Energy saving, screen off (10sec)

8,5 h => -21%

Frédéric Fiandino

@sartoric my last full charge is this morning at 10h. 2 hours later -2%
8 hours later -5%
I run a 5km race for 20min withe best gps glonass off and whr on -8%
It’s 22h, since this morning the watch has lost 17% of charge, the hard reset has obviously done good

update 29/05/2018:

Last full charge 0% -> 100% on 26/05/2018. Just after having hard reset via Sunntolink
I used the watch in sports activity 4 times for a total time of 3:32.
I sleep with the “DND” enabled.
We are the 29/05/2018 and I have 12% of battery left.
I always find the speed of discharge excessive.

@frédéric-fiandino don’t see any problem, looks like my Baro battery usage. You charge your watch via usb?

Hi,

I have 2 problems here.

When i connect the watch via Suuntolink and upload a new move, the battery automatically drops a lot in my Spartan Trainer Wrist.

Another problem is my watch when charging it will never reach 100% fully charge. It will stuck at 99%. When i disconnect the cable and re-connect it back again it will drop to 95% from 99%.

Please advise. My watch and Suuntolink are latest version.

@babychai
Did you already try to reboot the watch ?

Mff73

@babychai
How long do you wait at 99%?
Long enough?

babychai

@sartoric yes i reboot once but problem still same.

babychai

@mff73 99% stuck at about 45 mins. i think last time can reach from 99% to 100% within 15 mins before the app update.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@babychai Ok.

Batteries should never reach 100% or overcharge no matter how long you have it to charge it will always stop at 99%.

Trainers have less accurate batteries than the other Spartans. They measure on less precision.

I would not worry neither leave my watch plugged in when it’s 100% nor would I empty it.

Change full and deplete the battery 1nce per month

Shrek3k

Apologies, but my SSWHR definitely charged up to 100% without any issues and more or less “steadily”. I saw 95%, left the watch for probably 15 more minutes, and there were 100% (used a USB-port from my PC … as I usually just let it “hang” after synchronizing the activities to MC).

@shrek3k WHR version is having different battery which calibration profile is more accurate. Do not compare with trainer.

Anyway everyone needs to do full battery cycle (full charge/discharge/charge) time from time to calibrate the battery, this will improve battery percentage information accuracy.

Gabriel.S

hello, i have done a full charge/discharge/charge cycle and the problem still continue. i lost 20% in 24h, and 40% during a 2h40 run.
I will try to downgrade the firmware to the v1.12.36 to see if the issue continue or not.

sartoric

@gabriel-s
well … do you have 24/7 HR and sleep enabled ?
20% in 24h doesn’t look so bad. It’s less then 1% per hour.
Watch-face ?

Gabriel.S

Yes i have 24/24 HR enabled and the night i put the watch in DND mode.
The watch face is the outdoor like i have before the update, with the 1.12.36 version the watch loose 10/12% per day.

sartoric

@gabriel-s
Maybe you can try changing watch face before downgrade.
I always had the suspicion that the “outdoor” one is a bit “energy consuming”

babychai

@slash Got any fastest way to discharge the battery? Kinda slow if i just let it deplete by itself
