Battery drain

@StanAjax
I don’t expect any battery improvements after the January version. For Suunto the battery problems are solved. It is not our case. I hope I’m wrong.

@MarioPedraza I too am in a position to say that the race’s problems are not solved.
just bought, November 2023 I lasted almost 12 days with training and about 20 without training. Now in any configuration it does not reach the week. Furthermore, recharging has become a challenge, constant disconnections, etc.
I have already sent it to the support who returned it to me in third world hygienic conditions (dirty and smelly to the point of even having to change the strap) and without solving anything because according to them there are no problems…
moral of the story today I took it off my wrist, threw it at the charity market in my city and went back to my Spartan.

For the Suunto Vertical is there an option to display the battery % or hours remaining during an activity such as running?

I’ve looked at the Sport Mode Customisation options and could not see it there.

I need this option for some events so I can plan for re-charging the battery in good time.

@GKnoll just long press the lower button to acces the “control panel”. It shows “battery %” and “hours left”

@Samuel-Pirttikangas a quick reminder. Not all of us have Control Panel configured to the lower button long press. I used to have, but I had to change it because of the Control Panel carousel rendering problem. The problem stopped when I moved it to mid button short press. Weird, I know!

@BrunoH er meint wenn du die untere Taste während einer laufenden Aktivität gedrückt hälst.

@BrunoH i ment if you hold down the bottom button during an ongoing activity then you get battery stats.

@Samuel-Pirttikangas Thank you!

@OnlyoneKenobi Oops, sorry. Mine goes to technical support on Tuesday. I’ll cross my fingers.

@Klaane said in Battery drain:

The battery on my Suunto Vertical Solar has dropped from fully charged to 55% in only two days. Last night it dropped by 15% while I was sleeping with the watch on.
I have mobile notifications and 24/7 HR turned on but it still shouldn’t drain that fast, right? Standby backlight is off and I’ve used GPS for less than 10 minutes during those two days.
Do I have a defective battery or could this be some other issue?

It sounds frustrating! While mobile notifications and 24/7 HR can drain the battery, a 15% drop overnight seems excessive. Try resetting your watch or updating the firmware. If the issue persists, contacting Suunto support might help.
