      @Pavlas said in 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 .

                    @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.

                              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.

                                  @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).

                                        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.
