Battery drain
-
Something similar what happened these days. Timeline for experts
Watch charged on the 17th (eventual daily use, almost always in drawer with HR sensor up to avoid false reading)
-
training day 18/06- 2:30
-
long break>>>
-
training day 3/07- 1:25 (I start with 63% battery and end with 60 which seems great to me. Only 3%)
Watch 2 days in the drawer. -
training day 5/07- 2:25 (I start with 33% battery which means a sudden drain of 27% in 48 hours without hardly using the watch) Training comes with another surprise of 10% in 2 hours and a half. I end up with 23%.
-
in the last 24 hours it has drained another 12% without any use and now at 11%
I don’t want to get mad about an issue, but this was testing my trust in Suunto.
I await clues and clarifications dear friends. -

@valdis830
I would restart the watch, charge it completely and observe the behavior.
if it happens again: magic logs would help

@freeheeler
Thanks, that’s the first thing I’m going to do. -
Adding my experience with Vertical solar as sounds similar.
Charged to 100% 4-5 days ago, didn’t wear until today but it was fully discharged.
Sound like a theme with being off wrist. Have noticed OHR seems to be on a lot when not on wrist. -
@em632 I’ve noticed the OHR is always measuring even off wrist, execpt if the strap is folded and in contact with the sensor.
Otherwise if the sensor is in contact with a table it stays measuring.
Cheers -
@em632 forgot to mention, I have a black silicon strap.
-
@e6321 doubt the two things are related. Even if OHR is always on, your watch should last weeks in a drawer, not 4-5 days. So, something else kept burning battery. Now it could be that after it completely discharged it’ll work fine, but if it does not, send logs and PM me.
-
@isazi sorry Im sure this has been asked a million times but I cant see anything searching the forum - how do I send logs?
Yeah agree about the OHR have noticed the blood oxygen LED is on sometimes off wrist as well, that is a bigger power draw I think?
My battery jumped from 96% to 100% today, wasn’t even that sunny… Theres a few odd things about this watch.

hello community,
I am loosing 4 % a day without activity. no backlight, basically with all battery tips i have learned so far in the last 4 months. Do you think it is “normal”, i thought it was more arount 2% . I have the solar version.
thank you!
-
@Antoine-Lancrenon My SV solar loses 1-2% a day when I don’t record an activity. So 4% looks like too much.
Have you enabled 24/7 HR or something?
-
@Antoine-Lancrenon charged on Monday night to 96%, now at 78% so im about 4% per day, just one short run this week.
Tbh Im not totally convinced by the battery percentage, I wouldn’t pay attention to how much your losing per day, sometimes it goes up! -
@e6321 said in Battery drain:

I have only seen this between 96% and 100%.
Fun fact about the solar version:
At the moment I am on a holiday in a very sunny location. Charged the watch to 100% on Monday. Recorded a couple of hours of activities and the watch still has 95% of battery left today.Suunto Vertical Titanium Solar

The only thing I use is the HR 24. may be this this the reason why I am more around 4% drain a day instead of 2 or 1?
I have seen the watch goes up, but it is rare and always when the watch is almost full >90% . The solar is more optimisation of battery usage, not a charger directly, even if it comes to charge little bit at some point like mention in this thread.

I am usually doing tracking activities 3-4 timea a week, sometume >3hrs. i have to recharge every 10-14 days more or less…
