      The battery on my Suunto Vertical Solar has dropped from fully charged to 55% in only two days. Last night it dropped by 15% while I was sleeping with the watch on.
      I have mobile notifications and 24/7 HR turned on but it still shouldn’t drain that fast, right? Standby backlight is off and I’ve used GPS for less than 10 minutes during those two days.
      Do I have a defective battery or could this be some other issue?

        @Klaane something’s wrong here. If you can send logs, do that and send me a PM. Otherwise try to reboot your watch, charge it up, and see if it’s fixed. If not, contact support as there may be something wrong with your watch.

          @Klaane Tried a soft-reset already?
          I noticed a huge drain when I started using the watch after the initial firmware update. After a soft-reset the issue was resolved.

            I did a factory reset and charged up the watch again and also rebooted the watch after recharging. I also sent logs on the app but I’m not sure if the relevant logs would have been lost with the reset. Hopefully this resolves the problem.

                @isazi I’m seeing an increased battery drain when running S+ apps during a workout, especially two S+ apps or S+ app and a guide. Like a battery dropping 3-4% in about 45 minutes of GPS (best quality) with Fat Burner S+ app.

                I wouldn’t say this is totally unexpected, but I feel S9PP handled S+ better battery-wise.

                  @NickK yes known, at the moment using 2 S+ apps drain lots of battery, one app is still fine (according to my experiments). It has been reported.

                  Edit: to be clear, guide + app is the same as having 2 apps

                    @isazi Awesome! Thank you. Yes, all my S9PP tests were with a single app as there’s no way to run two S+ apps or S+ app and a guide.

                      @isazi Over the last 24 hours the battery level has dropped only 4% so resetting did fix the problem.

                        I’ve had the suunto vertical titanium since Friday and I’ve been noticing that the battery is draining much faster than it should.

                        Today, for example, in a 1-hour training run, he has spent 5%.
                        Before this training I have turned off the watch and started it again.
                        I have Wi-Fi turned off.
                        No suunto App in training

                        It is normal? I don’t get 60 hours without solar charging

                          I assume it’s not yet calibrated and needs a cycle of using and charging, maybe a restart to show correct values

                            Yeah that seems a bit too much. For comparison my 2.5 hour run I did a few days ago used 3%, but as @freeheeler said it may just need a few charging cycles to settle in? Keep us posted

                              I am also pretty sure I need at least one full circle of discharging-charging to get better performances…but still it drains very slowly…and
                              I don’t know when I’ll achieve to beat it !
                              Around 2% maximum a day with h24 and sleep tracking (but no spo2)
                              Since last Tuesday and the initial full charging, I’ve made around 17 hours of training with gps on always on best (also noticed that consumption is higher when an app is selected - climb in my case), using maps a lot, trying all menus of the watch, making multiple sync… plus the h24 and sleep tracking…and battery is still at 51% [edit : 11 hours later this morning battery is still a 51%]
                              😊
                              Didn’t had a lot of sun incoming so I guess solar charging helped only a little

                                @freeheeler On Sunday I charged it 99% and today with 4 hours of training with GPS it has 50%, I’m going to let it drain the battery to be able to do another full charge to see how it goes.

                                  @Jose-Luis you already tried a reboot, right? There seems to be something wrong, my watch is at 68% after 8 days and many activity hours.

                                    mine is similar like @Jose-Luis , I’ll fully drain the battery, fully charge, reset and judge then … and don’t worry already

                                    …edit: one reason, along with others is: I worry too much in general about basically everything and it’s not healthy. I’m working on that 🙂

                                      It looks like this issue could not avoid me too. 🙂
                                      What I experienced is:

                                      • SV was charged to 78% when unboxed,
                                      • used it for a week, when I needed to charge it first,
                                      • it went up to 100%, but it was slow - almost 2 hours,
                                      • from that time started to discharge very quickly - 15% during the night,
                                      • soft reset didn’t resolve the issue,
                                      • the second charge was normal in my opinion - around 1 hour

                                      Now it works well and discharge looks normal. We will see it, but I seen this as a calibration on battery level.
