      Hi guys just to share my experience with the battery drain. It was terrible after the update eating around 10% of the battery a day. But after maybe two cycles when I charged the watch from around 30% to the max it seems to be stable again and back to the previous consumption. I believe in many cases it will end up the same and there isn’t probably any issue that should be fixed (I can’t be sure of course). For now it seems to be ok so I am happy with that:)

        for those more expert than me and knowing how to make a dump log of android suunto app, some of the files are containing regular battery gauge informations 😉

        I charged my SV today morning, from 1% to 100% : it is there 😉

          No issues here. Battery drains as before the update.

            I was experiencing the battery drain (1% / hour). After a couple of recharges from 20% to 100%, and turning off and on it seems like battery is performing as normal now. I don’t know if battery will drain fast again after my today’s workout (will update).

              I will turn off the notification from Cell on my watch to see the impact on the battery.and see if it is worth it. it looks like notifications are pretty battery foody…

              I will finish discovering why my battery never last more than 10 days. I am tired in looking now.

                Ok - I’m finally back to a normal rate (and actually have seen some definite improvements in drain during activity).

                Started with 40% after update
                Drained down to less than 10% and full charge
                Still saw worsened battery life so allowed another drain to sub 10%

                Soft reset, full charge back to 100%

                Now I’m at 94% after two days of all day/night wear and 3 hours of GPS activities.

                  My Vertical just went from 19% to 9% during night. That’s new. Soon 0% and then I will charge it to 100%

                        @Egika ok thanks, for the problem of abnormal battery consumption do you have to follow the guide so between 10% / 20% recharge or completely discharge the battery to re-calibrate it?

                          @MeazzaS9 as written in the FAQ section. A discharge to 10-20% battery followed by a full charge will be sufficient.

                              @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos everything is perfect now!

                              1. Soft reset
                              2. Full circle 0-100%

                              Stable and powerful again. 💪
                              Even the indication of battery at full charge saw me 100% and not 99% as previews updates 🔺

                                That’s not becouse of update. I got Vertical since November 2023, and sometimes it was charge always to 100%, battery jumps 98 ->99 and 99-> 100 at same “length- time”, but sometimes stop at 99%, and this 1% was added like after additional 30 minutes or something.

                                    Do a full recharge from 0%- 100% did fix the problem for me altso.

                                      I did a full discharge cycle yesterday (0-100%), left the watch on a table overnight (upside down, no OHR), and it is now at 90%. Something is surely amiss.

                                      Battery drain during activity seems to be ok, but there are clearly some issues with daily wear.

                                          I have a weird issue with my batteri on the recent firmware. I discharged it fully to 0% and waited for the watch to turn off. Then I charged it to 100% and left it on the charger at 100% for a few hours to make sure it was fully charged. I did this because from battery level 40% and below the battery level dropped drastically, up to 15% during one day even without activities.

                                          Then I used it for a day like normal and saw that the battery drained to 97% after one day, which is all normal. Then I was out in the sun for 20 minutes and now the battery is back at 100%… I’m fairly sure the solar charging didn’t charge 97>100% after 20 minutes of sun exposure… So it seems like the battery calibration is just pure hit and miss?! Never experienced this type of inaccurate battery level on any device since NiMH and NiCd batteries went away…

                                            @borgein I see this behavior with solar charging with a hight battery load above 95% too… but not only after the latest update, but just before for some month. You can load from 97% to 100% in some minutes 😂 At the battery level above 95% there was a crazy behavior with solar charging from the beginning, but always a bit different. Sometimes I didn‘t see the solar symbol loading in plain sun above 95%… and they wrote here this was to protect the battery from overcharging… 🤔 but nevertheless, I like my watch!
