Battery drains very quickly S9B
-
@Sergei-Ladeishchikov thanks for reporting. I have the same issue after the latest software update. Before the update the battery lasted for more than one week with 1-2 activities during that time. Now it doesn’t last even a full day after 100% charge without any activities, not even wearing the watch. I’ve tried full reset as recommended by the Suunto support, no success. Now they want me to send the watch for an inspection. To be honest I don’t want to pay for fixing an issue which is obviously caused by software.

@maxm23 hi! Have you tried downgrading the software and calibrating the battery?
-
@Sergei-Ladeishchikov No, I haven’t tried to downgrading the software and calibrating the battery. Wasn’t aware of that possibility. Where can I find the instruction how to do it?
-
@maxm23
Charge your watch to 100% then waiting it drops to 0 untill you can only see the empty battery icon all over the screen and charge again to 100%. -
@maxm23
you can find previous firmware here. download the one you want and pull it in SuuntoLink.
Battery calibration sometimes goes weird, but what you describe is clearly not normal. my watch works the same as before the upgrade

My watch I sent to unofficial service for diagnostic. There isn’t official service in my region and watch warranty ended.

@zhang965 Did that for 5 times in a row, as recommended by Suunto support, no improvement

@freeheeler thank you very much for sharing. I couldn’t find the 2.20.30 release, which is the second latest. Any idea where to get this one?

@zhang965 It would be fine if the battery capacity would go down by 5-10% after a certain time. But degreasing directly after the update by >80% is not ok.
-
@zhang965 the problem was happened in one day. Before this problem my watch had worked during 5 days with activities and after the problem my watch work during 10 hours without any activities.
-
@zhang965 Many thanks!

That’s exactly the issue, I have
-
@maxm23 but my watch worked normal with last software during 1 month before this problem.

any trick how to install the “older” firmware? I’ve dragged and dropped the .zip file content to Suuntolink and connected the watch. It shows still the latest firmware. Does it need to be a Windows device?
-
Drop it on the gear icon if I remember anything
-
@zhang965 thanks, again. It worked.
-
@maxm23
I remember apple has some updates to slower their old devices … -
@zhang965 I´ll check in a couple hours or latest tomorrow how fast the capacity will go down.
