      My vertical is currently at 32%, I charged it the first of June if I remember correctly and used the GPS a lot. I think tomorrow will be a good day to charge it (also need to download some maps before the holidays).

        Charged mine 13 days ago, achieved 22 hours of activities with GPS to best, HR and sleep tracking H24 ON. Still 35% battery remaining. So I have the same excellent performances I had with the first cycle of charge : => around 20% battery for daily use (1,5%/day). That makes around 45% battery used for those 22hours of activites.

        Didn’t notice any calibration impact

          This is really funny: After coming home from a 25k-run yesterday (starting with 7%, ending with 4%), the Vertical went in a power saving mode at 2% in the evening.

          Waking up this morning i had 1% left.

          At lunch time i walked 3 kilometers and now i’ve got 0% since 2,5 hours. This watch will not capitulate! 😀

            Is for the SV also 50% still the minimum charge?

                After two weeks with SV and being worried about battery drain, I think I’ve found my battery destroyer.
                Notifications (Teams, emails, whatsapp, calls…).

                When deactivating them, I see that the battery consumes according to what Suunto promises.

                It will not be possible to review this to improve it.

                  Before the Update, battery consumption was ok. After the Update, the Akku Drain was extreme.

                  Soft Reset -> Same Problem.
                  Backlight is off 🥺

                        @Ollipolli I’d contact support. Maybe your watch needs to be replaced. 🤔

                          If you haven’t already, you may need to recalibrate the battery. Drain it all the way to 0%, then charge all the way back to 100%

                          We noted this problem in the 9PP after the update also.

                            I never heard that it is necessary to calibrate the battery… last time I have read that it is not good for a lithium accu to drain to zero… I‘m really confused!!!

                              @SuperFlo75 I completely agree with you. I’ve never “had” to recalibrate the battery, or get such battery drain behavior on any of my tech after an update. This was suggested to me in the 9PP thread and appears to have solved the same issue I was having.

                                @Umer-Javed this solution was suggested here several times, too. But I think if it is important it should be suggested in the User manual of the watch, too? And btw it is not easy to go to zero with a SV… I was at 19% after more than 5 weeks of using… and I charged because I wanted to load new maps…

                                  I trust the suggestion because it comes from people in contact with Suunto, beyond that I agree it’s very atypical. I can’t comment on this further than that.

                                  My trick to drain the 9PP was to

                                  1. start a GPS activity indoors
                                  2. with an S+ app that does a lot of calculations (e.g. fat burner)
                                  3. display turned to light mode
                                  4. brightness full
                                  5. backlight on
                                  6. stay on compass screen
                                  7. autolap every few seconds, so the vibration and sound would keep repeating
                                    …

                                  You SV owners are suffering from success in the battery recalibration 😅

                                    Let me explain a few things about battery calibration.

                                    First of all this happens after some health markers on the system are reset. Usually after an update. It happens to Macs phones etc.

                                    The effect is that usually you see the higher battery percentages dropping faster than expected and the lower ones (ie around 30-20%) dropping very slow. For example you might see 100-90% drop in 1 day (not expected) and stuck at 30% for a whole day.

                                    This gets fixed automatically as the battery watchdog calibrates it self during the normal usage.

                                    Draining the battery by various ways ain’t good. And most probably it’s not needed as the watch will last / should last as expected.

                                    My suggestion is.

                                    • in case you have a high drop in battery just do a reboot of the device to rule out any other issue.
                                    • once in 3 months let’s the watch charge on a full circle (0-100) if possible

                                    Enjoy your watch and life.
