      Good point @cosmecosta

      we have a special Android app version to test if needed. Would you want me to share this?

        @jseguir may be the combination is causing such issue. I do not know how to enforce my combination work with full range of needed features on and reasonable power consumption. Nevertheless i would recommend to develop the soft tool to monitor power consumption by various modes on Suunto watches. It could be helpful to indicate the problematic point in-house. And it could also bring useful stats to Suunto developers’ team.

          Three hours a week I run, something on the treadmill or outdoors (depending on the weather). I use Stryd and HR belt. My watch lasts 11-12 days.
          I only use the watch in energy save mode, without HR measurement.

            @Durri I hope I will get similar (or near) times when I get back to both outdoor running and treadmill in 2-3 weeks for about 4 hours a week + circuit/gym training. I would be glad with once a week charge if there’s less GPS activity. I would like to use daily and sleep HR.
            It should be noticeable difference in battery usage with treadmill vs outdoor performance gps+galileo or other positioning system.

            I just mentioned in other topic - The battery on S9B (almost) without touching buttons and about 5 minutes of total backlight time lasted for 16 days (it is at 9% now), every tracking off (daily HR and sleep) in airplane mode and I was complaining. This is fine.

            BTW, off topic - my couple of years old miBand 2 is on 38th day since charge (now at 3%) with daily and sleep tracking, calls/notifications ON and everyday alarm (it has much better and noticeable vibration than S9) with few times a day checking time/date, steps and battery, always connected with BT. That is impressive. 🙂 Specs say 30 days.
            I was hoping to replace it with S9, especially during the night for wake up alarm, but vibration on S9 is so weaker. Also the step counting I mentioned… 🙂

              Just to add my Penny’s worth. Charge my S9 last night from 2% to 100% went to bed with it on. When I woke up it was on 88% .

                The HRV detector needs a lot of battery

                      Observation - lost 50% in exactly 3 and a half days (charged just before midnight on sunday). Daily activity and sleep HR ON, Notifications OFF, Flight mode ON.
                      No other usage (including syncing or touching buttons), light OFF all the time. I had about similar percentage after the first night. That should be one week battery life as in specs, but I don’t know if they count in backlight and notifications. If they do, there’s no way to get 7 days battery life.

                      BTW - I just saw reviews of Huawei GT2 (and Honor Magic 2), as a sort of competitor to Suunto 7 (and 9 in a way) for daily watch with sport features, and they get impressive battery life of 2 weeks with daily and nightly tracking, accurate GPS and OHR…at much lower price.

                        Before the HRV firstbeat feature (body resources) has been delivered, S9 could definitely go for a week or longer, but the HRV takes too much battery,

                        Have you tried to turn off the daily HR and see how it goes?

                          @Cuba1hr said in Suunto 9 Baro quick discharge problem:

                          Daily HR and sleep tracking consume quite some battery. There is a thread about this in the forum.

                            I mentioned already I have tested it with everything turned off and got 16 days.
                            I haven’t tried with just daily HR turned off.

                            Yes, I am aware it consumes the most juice and hope for some optimization in the future.

                              Hi All
                              Was any solution for quick discharge found?
                              I got a very similar problem after I forgot to charge my watch and they were discharged to 0%
                              Now after charging they discharging very quickly (~2% per hour, 2-day max battery life without any activities)
                              I tried the next solution

                              1. Soft reset
                              2. Factory reset
                              3. I disable Sleep monitoring and daily HR monitoring
                              4. I turn on flight mode
                                In all cases, battery life was almost the same from 40 to 45 hours

                              Is any way to figure what is going on?
                              Thanks

                                @Jenya-Obolonskiy maybe battery got uncalibrated? Try to charge it to 100% and leave it there for a while after. Try to see if the watch turns off at 0% or not. And if nothing works, contact support.

                                    From my S9 Baro:
                                    In 4 days the battery was totaly drain. Without any activity. Backlight 35% and everything on(sleep, 24/7 tracking, notification). When I’ve brought this watch, Suunto said that the 24/7 tracking and notification = 7 days. And why now we are trying to: disable this, and this and this? When normally, the watch should last 7 days? Ok, I can understand if there are 6 days. But when are 4 days (almost half of 7), I’m sorry but something is weird…
                                    I’ve brought this watch 1 year and 5 months ago…

                                        I have a brand new S9 Baro, one of the gold/leather ones. With around 60-90mins of training each day (GPS on but HR off) I get around 4 days off a full charge. I do have sleep tracking, daily HR and mobile notifications on but yeah, would’ve thought I’d be able to get a bit longer than this. That said, the battery consumption during exercise seems to be pretty good; it’s the daily use where it falls the fastest.
                                        I recently upgraded from a COROS Apex 46mm and I could get close to 10 days from that watch before it needed charging.

                                          @MiniForklift This may be about right, the 24/7 HR and sleep tracking together cause a fair bit of drain. Are you on Android or iOS? I typically do not sleep with my S9 as it is kinda big. Do you enable auto DnD when sleeping?

                                            I read on FB Run Iq, someone with same issue, and he has solved it with a serious baro sensor cleaning.
                                            Not explained clearly there, but maybe the sensor is over busied when too dirty.
                                            Worth a try to confirm, isn’t it?
                                            Will give the link if I find it, but FB is not a forum, and hard to find stuff again.
