Race S: Extremely high battery use rate
-
@sky-runner Same. I had it charged to 98% this morning. Just completed a 55 minute run, with external HRM and Stryd. Battery is now 91%.

@sky-runner ditto!

24 hours later, 77%. I’m monitoring HR 24/7, but display is off and awakes on raise.

@sky-runner I am having the same problem, battery is draining ridiculously fast. Battery last 2-3 days instead of a 1-2 weeks with my usual activities. Race 2 with 2.50.28.

Tried a factory reset and now it’s even more noticeable…
-
I can just confirm that there is higher battery consumption on my wife’s Race S. It’s a reoccurring problem. In one update it seems to be fixed, then again introduced in next one.
-
48 hours in, and it’s at 50%. I did an 80 minute run yesterday. Today is a rest day for me, so perhaps it won’t drop 20% or more in the next 24 hours.

To be noticed : battery consumption is more high with new vector watch face. I turned back to Hike watchface I was using before.
-
@Tieutieu I think you’re right about that. I didn’t notice significant battery drain until switching to the Vector face. Switching back to the Race Flow to see how things change. It would be interesting to test the battery drain between charges with the different faces and see how they compare.

@sky-runner my polar h10 retired so I didn’t use external HR for few weeks and didn’t not notice any issue with the battery drain.
Now I have received my new h10 polar I am losing more battery per day with no change in my sport and settings.
E.g watch fully charged Thursday evening and Friday commuting with 1h30 sport. And this Saturday morning I have 80% battery…
Still something behind the scene here.
