Suunto 5 - sudden battery drain
-
My Suunto 5 is suddenly draining battery or running out of battery when almost full. Examples:
- fully charged in morning to 6% by the evening without exercise
- fully charged, go for a run and the battery screen comes up within 10 minutes.
I’ve done 2 factory and soft resets and nothing has changed. Battery drain is not limited to activity recording (i.e., happens in multple activities), my HR is off, normal GPS recording (GPS+QZSS), backlight is off.
Is there anything else to try?

@rdcritchlow sounds like a dead battery, better contact support.

@rdcritchlow I had a similar situation with 9baro, the battery was completely discharged in 10 hours. The discharge did not depend on activities, heart rate measurements or anything else. During diagnostics, a local unofficial service revealed a faulty charge or battery controller (I don’t remember exactly what it was) (the warranty on the watch had expired at that time). After replacing this element, the discharge returned to normal.
