        @thanasis said in Battery drain:

        The problem is that i tried quite every single suggestion (including those of @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos on letting it depleet and recharge 100%, soft reset etc…) but the issue persists and i am a bit disappointed

        If nothing worked, you need to wait for the firmware update.

        Which is unfortunately not imminent so I may try to revert to the previous firmware.
        Thanks

          @thanasis the new firmware should come out soon. as a hotfix at least. I dont really know, just start to know this forum pretty well, and this is the general feeling based on high ranked users comments, or official testers notes…

          one comment at some point talk about bug fixes (and the battery draining issue) and a new feature as well at least. not a major update, but definitely a fix that is awaited!

            Just to inform, my Vertical from october 2023 had 0 problem ever with anything, included battery. My mate got Vertical 4 days ago, brand new, downloaded all updates, maps, and losing like 3% per day so seems normal.

            I think its random bug, sorry for all unlucky users.

              Would be also nice to know if this drain affects only older Verticals like mine which was bought last summer shortly after release. Did Suunto change battery type or manufacturer after release? Different voltage or something which could cause error in firmware.

                @Jugger I bought my Vertical 2 months ago and I experienced those issues. I found a workaround by restarting the watch after training days. It seems to work and allow me to happily wait for the next firmware.

                  @obhikkhu This workaround seems to work for me as well. I was losing around 10% every day in watch mode. I was testing several things to stop the excessive drain to see if I could stop it without rebooting the watch. I disabled WiFi and Bluetooth, put the watch in flight mode etc but nothing worked.

                  After my run yesterday, I got the strange touchscreen bug again. Where the screen responds very jerky or not at all on finger swipes and taps. So I was forced to do a reboot of the watch.
                  Now battery drain is back to normal with 0 to 1% overnight. Before the reboot it was around 3 to 4%.

                  Let’s see if the excessive drain returns after my next activity. If so, I will try some other options before rebooting the watch again.

                    Feed back after update : absolutely no battery drainage here.
                    2 to 3% daily use
                    This week I’ve complete my first ultra running race, mort than 43 hours of activity : battery was at 99% at beginning. 32% left at the end. Impressive ! (Only parameter I had changed was touchscreen unabled in my custom mode ; it change previsionnal autonomy pretty much, around 10%)

                      Hello
                      I had as many other here battery drainage problems with my SV but 10 days ago I changed to an old watch face with only 2 information : date and battery level. I did a soft reset and now the watch works realy fine. For me all is desactivated except HR on watch for hiking and belt for cycling. Also on phone the Bluetooth is activated only if necessary.
                      As we said in France, I touch wood

                        @Tieutieu do you use maps and routes?
                        Mine started started draining excessively after an activity with maps and route enabled

                          My issue is not during sport but during daily activity .

                          I tested the soft reboot after each sport and indeed it seems better

                              @surfboomerang same happened to me during the weekend, had a 3 hours bike ride with maps+navigation and after that I had battery drain (not sure right now, maybe 9% during night without wearing the watch).

                              Tried to replicated with the test watches, the ones equipped with the special logging to find what is draining the battery, but the battery drain does not happen there. So maybe this specific activity related issue is already fixed in the current testing firmware, not sure. I am keeping track of battery status on a notebook now since 4 days hoping to find a way to reproduce and send the logs to the devs.

                                @isazi many people report that they got drain after activity and soft reset often help them. Maybe its somethong with navigation that gps is still used after activity or something.

                                  32% yesterday when I posted…11% this morning (I was not wearing my SV, I had switched to my SRs). Very strange battery drop…because the first 12h hours after my race, I lost only 1%…

                                      @isazi I also recognized a higher battery consumption during activity with navigation on the watch, but I don‘t use navigation very often. But für me, about 10% for a 150 minutes activity seemed to high. But after these activities, the consumption seems to be normal… I recharged the watch after 3 weeks, the battery had 32% after 3 weeks…

                                        @SuperFlo75 I did not see the drain during activity in this case myself, 3 hours biking with the watch always on the map screen (using navigation) results in 6% drop, estimated battery life of 50 hours. It’s the 9% sitting on a desk that is bad 🙂

                                          @isazi Is it normal that every time after the charging icon and putting it on the charger the procedure of the ‘restoring the device in safe mode’ appears? It looks as stuck in this. Previous time I restarted it using the upper button and I got all the error messages with 1403 first but then it recovered.

                                            Not at all, if the watch goes into firmware restore when put on the charger one of the two (watch, charging cable) or both have something wrong, and I would contact support if it happened to me.
