        hello community,

        I am loosing 4 % a day without activity. no backlight, basically with all battery tips i have learned so far in the last 4 months. Do you think it is “normal”, i thought it was more arount 2% . I have the solar version.

        thank you!

          @Antoine-Lancrenon My SV solar loses 1-2% a day when I don’t record an activity. So 4% looks like too much.

          Have you enabled 24/7 HR or something?

            @Antoine-Lancrenon charged on Monday night to 96%, now at 78% so im about 4% per day, just one short run this week.
            Tbh Im not totally convinced by the battery percentage, I wouldn’t pay attention to how much your losing per day, sometimes it goes up!

              I have only seen this between 96% and 100%.

              Fun fact about the solar version:
              At the moment I am on a holiday in a very sunny location. Charged the watch to 100% on Monday. Recorded a couple of hours of activities and the watch still has 95% of battery left today.

                The only thing I use is the HR 24. may be this this the reason why I am more around 4% drain a day instead of 2 or 1?

                I have seen the watch goes up, but it is rare and always when the watch is almost full >90% . The solar is more optimisation of battery usage, not a charger directly, even if it comes to charge little bit at some point like mention in this thread.

                  it is great battery usage. this is more what I expected. I am usually doing tracking activities 3-4 timea a week, sometume >3hrs. i have to recharge every 10-14 days more or less…

                    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

                                      @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 .
