How can I avoid this behaviour?
-
Hey you people out there,
experiencing some battery drain issues with my S9PP in the last weeks, and I still remember the advice, let it completely drain and reload it again.
Now I also have this screen the whole time the battery is too low, and the only thing I can do is push the middle button to get rid of this message. Nothing else works. Where is the point in that, or the better question is, how can I avoid my watch going into this mode? I do not want that, I want the watch to go full throttle till the battery is empty, I don’t care if I lose an activity because of it. So any advice?
Thanks, Joeg
PS: for you non-germans, it says:
BATT. LOW
Charge the watch in active normal mode.

@jthomi Even if you leave the watch in this mode, it will eventually discharge until you see the empty battery icon.
-
@OutdoorMan Yeah, I know, but this takes too long. There must be a way to exit this screen or mode or whatever… Not even a reset of the watch works.
Goes right away back to the low Batt screen 🤬 -
@jthomi not sure there is a way around it.
-
@OutdoorMan I gave up, because I “need” the watch up and running for tonights night ride. Look into the settings but also found nothing. ah, crap.
-
@jthomi, hi, once I’ve discharged the battery until this screen has appeared: well, for me, the press of the middle button was useless.
So, I put in charge the watch for a reasonable time (in order to get the battery at 100%), but nothing changed: the screen was always there.
Then, I restored the watch by means of a soft reset.
-
@Matúš Well, shortly after I plug the charger in, at around 3-4% I can exit this screen, but still no chance to avoid this.
-
There is no physical or chemical process that will lessen the speed of discharging after a complete battery drain. If anything, it can only age the battery faster or potentially even damage the battery if left discharged for prolonged periods of time. Google it, or ChatGPT it, it’s easily verifiable. What can potentially help with the battery drain is just rebooting the watch, if it’s stuck in some endless loop. If it doesn’t help, then the issue lies elsewhere.
-
@cheetah694 You are right about the battery itself but it helps to calibrate the battery management. So that it can better estimate the percentage
-
Well, after almost 20hrs on 1% Battery left, the watch finally was empty. Let’s see how quick the watch will be empty now, guess maybe a battery change must be done? Anyone did this wit a S9PP ?
-
@jthomi If its 20 Hours on 1% I would say the calibration was wrong and if you now charge it to 100% it will last much longer. At least it works that way on my Race S.
But be careful it can happen that the watch turns off at 2 or 3% because the calibration swings to the other side.
I guess there is room for improvement in upcoming firmware
