Battery drain
-
@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%)Suunto’s devices at home :

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?

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

@surfboomerang for this race I had :
- a route loaded, maps on
- touchscreen off
- best performance
- no notifications
- OHR on
- all other usual settings : backlight low, raise to wake low, dnd mode from 11pm to 7am
-
@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%…

Yup very strange. SV fully charged on Sunday (previous) not used at all and the charge icon shown on Thursday.
-
@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.
But yes in activity the consumption is normal but not in ‘rest mode’ (not wearing it). -

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.

@isazi Ok will do that. Thanks. Cable should not be the problem since I use it with the other (Race and Ocean) just fine. And have already tried my second charger but same msg appears.
-
@isazi After my forced reboot (see previous post), the draining had stopped. Yesterday I did a 3hr windsurf session with no maps or route etc… After this activity the draining didn’t occur.
I think my issue started after a hike with maps and route enabled. I will try to reproduce this.

Same experience, after I noticed the drain on Sunday morning I rebooted the watch, and no drain, even after another 1h run yesterday.
I think my issue started after a hike with maps and route enabled. I will try to reproduce this.
Unfortunately reproducing on production firmware does not help, I had a short walk with maps and navigation with test Vertical today during lunch, will see if this triggers the issue.
-
Ok, so here is my 3rd attempt and i can confirm that the issue starts right after the training, happened for me again on last Saturday, hiking with maps and route +GPS on. Finished after 9h training with 36% battery left and i actually forgot to reset the watch which lead my battery to drop to 24% next day. After reset battery remained on 23% for the all day.
Definately some process remains active after ending the training. -
I rebooted the watch and started a hiking activity with the same settings like the previous one when the excessive draining started. The only two differences are the location and duration.
Let’s see what will happen…
