Battery drain

thanasis

@thanasis i never have HR on always off… sometimes and in activities

ok, then can you try to reset the watch and give it a try?

Tengo el suunto vertical solar, los dias despues de la nueva actualizacion me gastaba 10% de bateria al dia, reinicie y cargue hasta el 96% y parece ser que problema solucionado, pero le dio el sol 30 minutos y cargo hasta el 100% cuando antes no hacia eso, alguien puede decirme si le ocurre lo mismo?

@thanasis next step hard reset

Hi, from the last update I have seen the some problem.

Two day ago I have charged at 100% my SV and at the some time at the next day (24 h with night monitoring) my SV was at 90%: 10% off in one day without any sport activity

Yesterday I have made soft reset … I let you know about evolution.

gerasimos

@matteo_000 maybe some experts here like @isazi @pavel-samokha have better feedback with that problem

I think after soft reset and a full charge cycle i have better results.
Let’s see

Check out an turn off backlight standby, wifi, Bluetooth in daily use

Following the topic. No problems on my SR after the update but a friend of mine with SV does have some battery drain after updating. What should I advise him? He already did the reboot by holding the upper button, switching off the pulseOX, brightness on low etc. Still draining more than he was used to see prior the update.

Même problème chute de la batterie depuis la dernière mise à jour j’ai réinitialiser la montre depuis aucun problème

@ggrego same here. In 3hrs doing nothing drop from 20% to 16%…

Have been seeing same here on my watch. For first time since I bought the watch did have to charge my watch two times in a week.

Monday I did charge it to 100%.
Today is was 42% with just one use during training(30 min running)

MeazzaS9

Recharged the watch on July 9th to 100% and after doing a soft reset (first time with the new software). Since that day he has consumed very little, 1% per day (I only wear it for training) and 1% for 1 hour of running training. Today I did 3 hours of Trail running with a map and itinerary not always selected and it left me ONLY 5% very happy. Once I get home I put it on airplane mode and after two hours I find it at 86%!!! Something wrong. I had already seen this anomalous consumption with version 2.33.14 Do you know if Suunto knows about the problem and is working on it? With vertical battery is a reason of choice for the user.

Hi guys. Let it discharge and do a full circle charge.

MeazzaS9

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos is it the permanent solution?

I can only confirm from my side that my Vertical after the new update consumes the battery literally three times faster than before. A short circuit exercise used to be only 1% of battery, now 3%, a 35 minute run used to be 3% now over 10%. I have the same GPS settings, all others as well. I’m not sure the new changes were necessary enough to undermine one of this watch’s most important features…

sartoric

probably battery needs to recalibrate (as it almost happens after every fw update)
I have no such problem. Slightly less than 40% (34) drain in 8 days with at least 1 activity every day and almost 4h of gps.

After the Fw update I discharged it to 13% before recharge

Anyway, this time, I’ll let it discharge to the “battery icon” just to be sure to recalibrate properly

Michaël POINTEAU

@Michaël-POINTEAU factory reset yesterday.
Sadly one thing already confirmed fixed: media control.
Sadly because that means watch full setup to be done again.
Sadly because this is not something we shall have to do to get our features back. At least it shall be properly communicated upfront.
Especially when in summer season’s when you expect to use your watch intensively and potentially leave to location where network might not be that great or even capability to plug the watch.

Hopefully this will also resolve the battery drain.

Nevertheless the watch connectivity with the app is awful right now.
I will have to spend time.again fixing that too.
Disappointed overall despite the new climb pro feature to be honest.
I was promotion Sunnto for it’s reliability no later than this week.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos discharge until 0%??? I habitually recharge the watch when the battery was about 20-15% anyway not under 10% for doesn’t stress the lithium battery. Is correct???

sartoric

@matteo_000
Normally you should not and you shouldn’t need it.
This is an exception, to recalibrate the battery.

I have also seen faster battery drain after the last update. Like others suggested, I drained the battery to a value below 20%, charged it to 100% and restarted the watch afterwards (15s upper right button). Now everything is back to normal. I did this process yesterday at 18:00. Went to sleep at 22:30, woke up at 7:00 with 99%, went on a short run for 1h 20min (performance mode) and now at 12:20 I am still at 99%

That’s the first time I had to do this after a firmware update.

Ars Vitae

@wmichi Thanks for the advice. Do you usually have a bluetooth connection enabled or disabled?

Todd Danielczyk

@wmichi same here, battery was draining at 7-8% daily after the update (have seen this on several updates on serval Suunto watches).

I let it run down until the watch shut off and charging icon showed; charged to 100% and wore it for the last 10 hours with sleep tracking and woke up with the battery at 99%. Battery went through recalibration, and it is back to normal.
