Battery drain
-
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 . -
@thanasis asking for this
-
@thanasis could it be the raise to wake ?
-
@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 !!

@thanasis I don’t see any HR values from that night. Looks like it didn’t measure anything.
-
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.
-
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. -
@Pavlas we have the same problem… battery drains faster than expected… =(
-
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.🔺Vertical All Black
ex:
Ambit2 Black
Ambit3 Peak Sapphire
Spartan Ultra Stealth Titanium
S9B All Black
Ocean All Black (for testing only)

@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.
-
@Pavlas I am noticing battery drain on my solar version of similar rate with 24/7 heart rate, notification on and Wi-Fi off. I tend to do about 3-4 workouts a week of roughly 1 hour each.
At 12 days I am at 9%
I am going to let it naturally go down to zero and recharge this week to see if that helps. Prior to that (and after the major update) I forced the drain to occur by turning on the flashlight to expedite the battery drain to zero for the battery calibration and I still saw a quicker drain than advertised.

yes, it is known by Suunto (written somewhere else in the forum, in an other post where the same question was asked).
-
@Mff73 Ok, thanks a lot!
-
Not sure what is the expected battery drainage for SV. Any idea?
I believe it will be very difficult to have accurate values because each person use the watch in different ways, different settings, and do different and variable activities.I have a SVt for 7 weeks. So far, 2 charges. It went from 100% to 3% in 20 days. Multiple actives recorded. This is, roughly, 4.9% per day. Overall, I think it’s a good consumption.
Is this value in line with what other have?
-
@jjorgemoura By daily consumption, I meant no activity.
Consumption during activity seems fine to me and corresponds to the expected endurance.
I also wonder if Suunto knows what the problem is.
