    Is there a known problem?

    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.

              I am around 11-12 days for each charge. usually from 3 percent and charge to 99 or 100 each time.

              everything is turned off but some notifications (phone and private messages), 24h hr . sleep tracking.

              backlight is low, no auto light but when I press a button.

              i am doing 5-6 hours gos tracking a week. and 4 hours indoor…

              I have a vertical solar. do you thing my battery is fine? i am far from the 20 days i am seeing here…

              thank you

                I also have an SV Solar, for comparison I use around 8 hours of GPS per week and after nearly a month I still usually have around 20-30% battery left.

                I don’t use sleep, HR or notificatiions though but even having said that yours doesn’t sound right to ne

                  @Antoine-Lancrenon For me (Solar Vertical) with notifications, 24/7 heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen, brightness medium, raise to wake high and about 5 hours of workouts per week (GPS used on occasion now in winter; I tend to use it more in summer) I get about 10-13 days before the battery is completely dead after the latest firmware (2.30.38)

                  That puts it similar to what you are seeing but is also off from the advertised 30 days for 24/7 tracking with notifications and is closer to what it should be with GPS tracking on at 280h.

                      thank you all formyour feedback.

                      i believe the culprit is the 24hr tracking, it drains, and it makes sence. it is always on, making green lights all the time 24hr. must consume.

                      can we confirm this theory?

                      I will try to turn it off. what so I loose really turningboff the 24hrs tracking? HRV? my progress , recuperating metrixs, sleep tracking?

                      is it worthnit to gain 10 days of battery i guess. what do ypu think?

                        these are personal preferences… I don’t use daily functions for sleep, heart oximeters, etc. yet because they don’t concern me.
                        I’m all about feel-based training and mainly navigating…they are definitely useful but they have the corresponding cost for the battery in my opinion ! šŸ¤œšŸ¤›šŸ”ŗ
                        Just try it!

                          @Antoine-Lancrenon I also suspect that it is coming from the 24/7 tracking/firmware as the 9 Peak Pro group also have seen a higher battery consumption since the last update. This doesn’t have the feeling that it is one off as several people across different watch platforms have noticed it.

                          I decided to keep my settings as I did and will just charge every 2 weeks (or as needed) until the next major update and see if it improves.

                            I use h24 and sleep tracking + vfc. 12hours of average exercice time every last weeks, always with gps at best.
                            Sometimes apps, maps always on.
                            I don’t know what is the average consumption, I don’t noticed any drop of battery life since update.
                            I only have one thing to say : I never remembered when was the last time I charged my SV. So battery life is more than enough !😊

                              I forgot to mention that I’ll also regularly use maps to navigate and often they are the screen that’s on for most of the activity. I charge my SV at the start of the month as I know it near enough gets me to the end of the month before I need to think about recharging it. Pretty crazy!

                                • Always on display + hold upper button to do "ā€œnot disturb modeā€ when i go sleep (that also turn off AoD) when I go sleep. so like 16h/7days got always on display. (LOW BRIGHNESS)
                                • 3-5 training per week (no maps so far becouse of weather on my country)
                                • Solar version, but again becouse of my country I didnt even used solar posibillity of watch, got it since early winter. Soon solar gonna make his work
                                • All sleep tracking, h24 enabled. Just all.

                                My battery lasts 16-17 days. I think in spring/summer it will hold easily 20+ days. Iam very happy with that if watch hold more than 1 or 1,5 week.

                                  First charge after 22 days of GPS activities 🤯
                                  Battery 0-99% never reach 100% even one hour later.
                                  But i think it’s calibration… the watch maybe after a few charge cycles will calibrate itself and reach 100%

                                    @gerasimos I charged my Verical few times, it was mostly 99% but I think 1 maybe two times it reach 100%:D

                                      @Tami999 @gerasimos i think to reach 100% are quite random sometimes. 2 days ago i able to charge from 5% to 100%. but total i charge for almost 4 hours because i forgot to unplug the charger while i doing my other works šŸ™ˆ

                                        I’m able to get to 100% when I charge my SV, but it does sometimes take a while to roll over from 99%

                                          Same for me. I’m not sure it really matters to be fair, 99% or 100% really doesn’t make much difference.
