Firmware 2.20.28 Battery drain

@set_218
but did it become better with 2.20.30?

@set_218 Sorry, I can’t confirm.

1 week since last charge, with 4 hrs of windsurfing and 3 hrs of running, and the watch is down to 51%

@surfboomerang
similar here… no wind, no surfin… but battery in a 3 year old watch is within reason

I did not yet do the soft reset. I will do when it reaches 0% then and I charge it to the 100%.
Also the backlight is turned off.

I did go running this afternoon and the battery dropped down 10% for a 1:38 run. I never really paid attention before how much energy a run would take, but it feels much higher than before.

@freeheeler

no. also with the 2.20.30 update the battery status is a disaster. like the first big update years ago on the spartan series.

load the S9P on 99% yesterday 5pm. no sports or activity. just wearing it 24/7 with whr + sleep counter. Now -> 86%

@set_218
and did you empty the battery, fully charge the watch and then do a 12s soft reset?

[Set_218]

@freeheeler

no… not now. i am reading this solution too late… hope it will work.

@set_218
I’m sure it will

Let it dry out of battery and charge full.

Usually it should waste 20% per day max with backlight on (adaptive) many notifications and all 24/7 tracking on

Consumption per hour of gps + whr should be around 4%

Hi,

I wrote before that my backlight was not on, but this was wrong. I just didn’t see it as it was set to low.The update must have changed my backlight settings. I turned the backlight off and the battery usage seems to have returned to normal usage

Thanks everyone for their help

It just work now after full reload and reset. (MusicControl and Notification off) …
But the whr with my tattooed arm don‘t work anymore since the Update.

@set_218 Suunto is investigating the tattoo issue, hopefully they’ll find a solution.

@isazi
thanks for the info. it is really disappointed, because i have tested with different watches and my girlfriend.

my S9P dont work with the 2.20.30 on my tattooed wrist, but it works on her wrist without any tattoo. same story with her S9P on my wrist... dont work.

But my old S9Baro without the new firmware works on my wrist… that is my output about this story…
