Fenix 5 Plus - Battery Drain

Former Member over 6 years ago

I've had a Fenix 5 Plus for about 9 months now. I'm currently on firmware version 6.0 - the lastest public release.

Since mid/late February this year, the battery life has drained very rapidly. After being fully charged, it lasts about 24 hours in smartwatch mode (ie without engaging the GPS).

Is anyone else experiencing accelerated battery drain?

I wouldn't even waste too much time trawling through that thread above. If you are getting 24 hours in SW mode and expected to have 10+ days, just contact Garmin as there's a fault there.
