Battery drain

Ragazzi ciao a tutti,ho notato una cosa strana,metto in carica il mio Suunto vertical titanium solar e non arriva al 100%,la carica si ferma al 99%, devo fare stacca e attacca un paio di volte il carica batteria o addirittura un software reset affinché arrivi al 100% ma dopo 1 minuto che lo stacco dal caricabatteria scala subito al 99%,stranissima come cosa…qualcuno ha avuto lo stesso problema?

Can’t say I ever noticed much by way of the solar, that is until today. Charged it to full yesterday morning then ran this morning for 2 hours using maps, which took it down to 97%

This afternoon I’d been driving for an hour and a half with the sunlight hitting it and it went back up to 100%, and five hours later it’s still saying 100%. Impressive!

@MiniForklift Yes, I’ve seen this in the previous firmware as well. I think it’s some kind of calibration.

hello,
I have done a run with 2 Suunto app activated. I still notice much higher battery drainage… suunto coach, ans ghost Runner. I lost 10% or so in 1h30 run activity tracking… high performance.

still it is too much. for very long run and ultras > 70k it almost mean that a full charge wont be enough with those Suunto apps activated. it is a shame…id rather use suunto core only to optimize my battery longevity!

what do you think? is the last update corrected the battery drainage issue?

i guess , it will depend of the app itself. ghost runner seems to be demanding.

Hi, I left my Vertical on the table overnight and this morning I found that the battery has drained by 15%… Does anyone have a similar experience?

yes unfortunately I have faced something similar. it seems that taking the device off the wrist , for some reason it consumes a significant amount of energy. i also tried to put it on low energy mode but still the same. the only way of avoiding that was to turn it off…

@Pavlas can it be perhaps that the OHR sensor is active and this drains the battery? Try to disable 24/7 HR and test. Just an idea.

Put the device upside down, maybe its the ohr sensor struggling to read the table etc

Pavlas

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos It’s the first time it’s happened to me. The watch is on the strap. Usually barely 1% of the battery disappears overnight.

@Pavlas it’s definitely the hr … I left in my bag today and it shows very high hr readings with many spikes which I suspect affect other metrics . It also consumed 10% in less than 6 hours
I think that’s a bug to be honest .

@thanasis asking for this

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@thanasis could it be the raise to wake ?

thanasis

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos it was idle in the backpack while I was in the office. The readings have consistent pattern . I can test it again

Thanks !!

Pavlas

@thanasis I don’t see any HR values from that night. Looks like it didn’t measure anything.

Pavlas

So I guess it really is HR. Now I put the watch right on the table and the HR is glowing. When I put it on the strap, it doesn’t light up. It’s possible I had it right on my desk last night.

Pavlas

So for the last few nights my watch has been upside down on the table. Battery consumption was about 0.5%.
But last night 4% disappeared again.
I think I’m really gonna turn off the heart rate tracking and be done with it.

Pedros

@Pavlas we have the same problem… battery drains faster than expected… =(

Pavlas

I’m still not happy with the daily battery life of the watch. Is there a known problem? Daily battery consumption for me is 4-5%.
I’ve also tried 100%->0% calibration
But during activity it seems fine. That’s roughly 2 - 2.5% per hour.
What is your experience? I have the non-solar version.

@Pavlas I also have the non solar version and I’m charging the watch every ~15-16 days when it’s reaching 20% battery left, so my battery consumption seems similar to yours.
