      On day 6 now with my watch with two running exercises. Battery left 35%. Right now I need to have it in battery saving mode. Can’t charge it either because I forgot my charger 🫠

        How does your “battery drain” manifest itself?

        I have had my Vertiacl for 11 months now and have not had a single problem so far.

          @Sportsfreund For me, with about 1 hour of cycling and 1 hour of running a day (plus some jump rope), the battery drops around 10% per day. So I end up charging it roughly every 10 days.

            Me too! First day with my vertical. Battery 100% at 9 am.
            30 minutes of running, no notification : 91% now (9pm) 🥴

              @Matthieu_45 A fix is on the way. I turned off notifications, and also disabled sleep tracking and 24/7 HR tracking. It’s much better now, but the battery issue is still real. I read somewhere that a fix is currently being tested.

                Oh wow, can’t confirm this issue. 🙏

                  @Sportsfreund Apparently, using maps during an activity is what triggers the battery drain.

                    @obhikkhu OK, since I mostly move in familiar terrain, I only use it very rarely.

                    When I run, the map is always on the display. I run often but still can’t confirm the significant loss.

                      @Matthieu_45 You can use this temporary solution (one of the earlier posts here):

                      @isazi said in Battery drain:

                      My personal workaround while we wait for a fix is: if you use navigation just reboot your watch at the end, after syncing the activity with your phone.

                      This is my personal view, nothing from Suunto

                      I managed to send logs to Suunto and hope a fix for this will be included in the next firmware. I also believe it is not the GPS but the storage that is kept active, GPS would give an even larger battery consumption. No confirmation from Suunto yet. I try to keep the forum informed as much as I can 🙂

                        It’s not only the map. Following a route also triggers this. Even without the map.

                          @surfboomerang I also noticed this behavior… using the map and following a route during exercises drains the battery more than usual, and after that, the drains continue… perhaps the soft reset can help? I try this…

                          @isazi I sent log now, 09:35, I don‘t know if this is useful?

                            @SuperFlo75 no need to send logs. This has already been confirmed by Suunto. Fix will come soon (hopefully)
                            In the mean time, just reboot the watch after a navigation activity.

                              I know what caused my battery drain.

                              • Ocan Watchface with compass instead of battery.
                                Last 30 hours I have been using Race watchface and there is no battery drain at all.
                                Have gone from 35% to 33%, and i have also been exercising.

                                    I am also noticing strange behavior with my Vertical Solar when it comes to solar charging. Sometimes the watch is charged within 15 minutes with a battery level of 95% to 100% by solar charging and on other days without activity and the entire day in the sun there is no charging.

                                      @MacMIllan I have my SV since 05/23, and there is always a ‚crazy‘ behavior of solar charging when the battery was full loaded on the charger… sometimes ther is no solar activity in plain sun until the charging level dropped under 95%, sometimes the normal behavior of the charging icon comes back after dropping under 98%… and after that, I always recognize that the solar charging can bring the battery back to 100% in about 30 minutes of plain sun… I was told that this is a protection of over-loading… nothing new!

                                        Happens to me too. I think its just show wrong value after full charge. If its 95% -> 100% in 5 minutes by solar charging, its just 100% not 95% in real. 1% of solar charging takes 3h+ from my observation.
