Race S: Extremely high battery use rate
-
Feedback after updating my SRs Tuesday. Extra battery consumption seems to fixed to me and back to what is was on daily use. To be confirmed
-
I can confirm now : extra battery drain on daily use has been fixed
Suunto’s devices at home :
Vertical titanium solar
Suunto Race S
S9pp titanium sand
Suunto Wing & Spark

@Tieutieu I am not so sure! I have a new Vertical 2. At first the battery usage was excellent. But once I connected and used Coros armband HR sensor for the first time, the battery consumption has increased to over 10% per day in smartwatch mode. The battery was at 55% yesterday. One day later, including a 1:30h run, the battery now is at 43%. A different watch but the same issue. That doesn’t seem normal!

Before this update, I had noticed a significant drop in battery life, and the only solution I had found to mitigate the issue was to perform a soft reset after using the chest strap. After the update, I also performed a factory reset, and now afaic the battery is working properly

@sky-runner this thread is in the Race S forum and has Race S in the title. I guess it is related to the Race S then?

Not necessaraly. There is a generic race s topic on this forum, but not a generic battery issues topic. It only means people with a race s complain, but doesn’t imply the problem is hardware, software, settings or user related.

@elbee I mean all the Race S people say: It is fixed. Then a guy with a Vertical 2 says: no it is not.
There are other Battery drain topics, but this one has been for the Race S.
-
@Tieutieu Not for me. I’m still seeing 20% drain per day.

I know this is a thread in Race S forum because it was me who started it.
I suspect this is a software issue so it is likely the same across all models. Anyway, I haven’t had a chance to verify this with Race S. Perhaps I’ll do that next week. Currently I am using Vertical 2 and Race S is unused. -

Indeed as software issue, but maybe connected with the changed HR sensor algorithm? In that case it is a solution solely for the Race S. But who knows…
Interested about your results…
