Race S: Extremely high battery use rate
-
24 hours ago I charged my Race S to 100%. I had 3 runs with the total duration of about 4 hours with external HR. The battery is now at 66%. This doesn’t seem normal at all. By the way, last night it was at 80%, and after that I had only a short 20 minute run. The first two runs were with external HR, the last run with WHR.
4 hours of running should account for 13.3% of battery use. That means the battery discharged over 20% in the remaining 20 hours.

@sky-runner I have a similar « high » consumption on mine since last update. Soft reset didn’t solved. I wait for next update to see if it changes

@Tieutieu I really wish this is fixed soon! I don’t experience this issue all time but it comes and goes. I do suspect it is related to the use of the external HR sensor.
By the way, in another 7 hours the battery level has dropped from 66% to 50%.
Also, what nobody mentions is that this reduces the longevity of the battery. The battery has only so many charge-discharge cycles before it starts to lose capacity, perhaps about 300. So this isn’t just an inconvenience.
