Battery drain

Horizontal_2

Last one wasn’t the last one. This time it was a bit worse.

Still the H10 seemed cuasing promblems. around day 10 I did a long run with the H10. That caused a lot of drain afterwards. Does anyone else still has that problem? That night I forgot the H10 on my watch. Did a soft reset and swore never use it again

Also many runs drained more battery than expected. Might be due to the many SuuntoPlus Apps + maps. I’ll try running with less apps .

I used the flashlight of the Vertical as minimal as possible. In these 12 days I’ve been using GPS for running for 10,6 hours.

@Horizontal_2 I just finished a two week cycle including upgrade mid cycle to the latest hotfix.
I managed to get 14 days with 26.5 hours of GPS (running and cycling) on my Vertical 2.
I’m very happy with that. I used some navigation in runs and almost never used the flashlight. Only OHR without external strap.

@gkaempfer That’s better than advertised. A 14 days-cycle could be accomplished with 20 hours of GPS.

Is this with the best settings and OHR 24/7 on?

@Horizontal_2 Indeed better than advertised!

Note that I did run down the battery all the way to 3% before recharging (ran a marathon in the last activity beginning with 8% or so).
It may need to be counted as 13.5 days because I took the watch off the charger at 19:00 and put it on the charger on the 14th day at around noon (so maybe 7 hours before the full 14 days). However, the remaining 3% would have brought me there easily.

And now I am experiencing an extreme battery drain with Race S.

Yesterday while I was at work it entered an extreme power save mode with 3% remaining, but still shut down a couple of hours later. I recharged it to 92% at around 8 pm last night. This morning, 12 hours later, it is already at 53%. No activities on between!

@gkaempfer Thanks. I’m similair. It’s a bizarre result. Congratulations on your watch. Suunto did a great job with yours

I’ve just turned off the SPO2. Can’t imagine that’ll do tricks, but we’ll see. I do use the flashlight. Only a few seconds per day.

@sky-runner That’s really weird. Does it happen often?

My Race S drains possibly a bit quicker, but not by a huge amount. I charged it Monday in the evening and now it is at 74% including about an hour of GPS tracking…

@Horizontal_2 It happened once in the past last year and now was the second time. The rapid discharge has stopped once I’ve recorded an activity - a run.
