      @thanasis well just to test the ble is not the culprit on that 14% of drain. Maybe its the notifications?

      I dont think hard resets are going to help here so don’t waste your time with that.

        @Mff73 said in Battery drain:

        Fully charged mine yesterday from 0%
        9% lost in 24 hours without any activity.
        No soft reset, just charged.

        [edit]
        24/24 HR on
        notifications on
        Sleep tracking on
        SPO2 on
        everything like when i purchased it at launch

        today’s stats :
        Charged from 0% to 100% on Oct 6th.
        Today : 22% left --> 78% lost in total in 12 days
        17% battery lost in 9h36 of GPS activity
        So 61% lost for 12 days, non include GPS activity (avg = 5% / day)
        .

        today’s stats :
        Charged from 10% to 100% on Nov 11th.
        Today : 15% left --> 85% lost in total in 10 days
        32% battery lost in 17h50 of GPS activity
        So 53% lost for 10 days, non include GPS activity (avg = 5.3% / day)

        @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos (hello 🙂 ), do you think it is in the normal range, please ?
        In addition to my above settings (not changed), i also have raise to wake on and auto DND from 21h30 to 8h00.

          If I have the backlight off, “raise to wake” on low: Does this affect the stated battery life in time mode only?

          Besides the backlight setting I have disabed everything (24/7 hr off, blood oxygen off, sleep tracking off, notifications off) and it looks like it consumes about 5% of battery since monday when I received the watch and set it up. No exercise yet. Overnight I leave it on my desk and battery doesn’t drop a bit. So could be the raise to wake consume that much even on low brightness?

          P.S. I also fiddled with the watch settings, widgets quite a lot these first days, so that added an additional hit to the battery but still…

            @Mff73 sounds ok for raise to wake + tracking hr + hrv etc.

              maybe a feature “low consumption” battery mode for watchtime use could be useful , and the watch automatically use only necessary functions for ultra extended power management .
              -just a suggestion

                @gerasimos : there is an “power saving” mode which switch off everything else than “time”. Last summer my watch ran during more than 3 weeks, including numerous workouts, without any power charge.

                  @thanasis Did you enter preactivity menu and exited without starting activity? I’ve noticed that after this procedure the fast battery drain starts.
                  It seems like GPS is not deactivated or something like that and keeps draining battery in background.

                    @jjpaz I thought this was already fixed. Or? maybe I’m wrong 🙂

                      @jjpaz no, sorry, it was power “consumption remained high after navigation”

                        @jjpaz This is the action I’ve noticed too. The seconds stay visible when I do this (pull up activity screen but don’t actually start an activitiy). Like you said, GPS or something must stay active, which prevents the watch from going back into its more “dormant” state of time mode.

                          Decided to track battery life and here is what I found:

                          Full charge on 11/10 down to 4% on 11/27.
                          this included 14 hrs and 13 min of GPS usage tracking 81.6 miles.

                          This is not my daily wear watch and I have no notifications, 24 hour HR or sleep tracking enabled. I use a chest strap for all activities.

                              @thanasis I also noticed that the battery consumption gets worse… I‘m at 33% after 13 days… and I did‘t change anything 🙈

                                that’s a lot better than mine though! 67% drop in 13 days leads to 5.3% per day!!!
                                i am seeing like 15% per day!!

                                  @SuperFlo75 It seems to me that the drain accelerates as the battery decreases. 😕

                                  I have been holding goff on a hard/factory reset - but may be willing to try it if we don’t hear any more about a forthcoming update…

                                    I saw a new thread on this issue this morning, and now reading these posts. I’m a S9PP user and I noticed an uncommon battery drain in the past 2 days. I ended I run with 91% battery on Sunday morning, yesterday I did nothing so I didn’t even look at my battery charge status, this morning I woke up with 68% 😱 And it’s at 66% now after 2 hours.
                                    The only “new” thing for me was update ZS app.

                                      hi, i’m also experiencing battery issues on my 9PP. I never reached the 21 days of battery life with 24/7 monitoring as promised by suunto, but usually the battery lasted me 10-12 days with 3-5h of activity per week. Since the last update, however, I have to recharge the watch every 4-5 days with 1h of activity. I tried to open a specific thread for the 9 peak pro, since, even though they share some of the hardware, it is a different watch from the suunto vertical (it does not have maps, it does not have solar charging, it is smaller and will have a smaller battery, …) but the thread was blocked as a duplicate of this one. mistakenly.

                                        I really don‘t know why this problem got worse now… for me it startet with the Summer Firmware Update and the new watchfaces choosable in the SA… and I think with using the new ZoneSense App (including the use of the heart rate belt)… before the time of ZoneSense I didn’t use the belt very often with the Vertical… perhaps I will delete ZoneSense before the next battery loading to learn more about the impact of ZoneSense on the battery drain?

                                          @SuperFlo75 I always use the belt, which is essential for ZoneSense and should help the watch consume less battery. I consistently disable wrist HR, sleep tracking, and 24/7 HR. With this setup, my battery consumption is normal (1-2% per day without activity and 2-10% per activity depending on map usage). Whenever I adjust exercise options, I perform a soft reset on the watch after the activity. Without this reset, I notice a battery drain issue, which I hope will be addressed in the Q4 update that should logically be released by year-end, though I have no confirmed information about it. (Suunto Vertical and Suunto Smart HR belt)

                                            I finally broke down and did a factory reset, reloaded everything and now will track battery usage again… Only issue so far after my reset is the Zonesense - while it showed up in the watch and tracked the activity appropriately - I cannot get it to show up in SA for yesterday’s activity. Older activities it is showing up correctly.
