5x Battery issue

My Fenix 5X had a battery status of 52% when I charged it over night.
This morning I found it with 100% charged but after minutes of wearing it, it turned of completely.

When I started it, it showed 5% battery charge.
i connected it to the charger and within minutes it was charged up to 100%.
As soon as I want to use it it turns off again.

Does Anybody had similar issues with that watch?
Not sure if it’s a battery or SW problem.
Im running 11.0 stable version.

I've not experienced that on my F5x. I've seen similar behavior on prior Garmin.

on my v11.0 firmware F5x, I've noticed what seems to be reduced battery. I am using it for slightly more activities than in prior weeks, but sure seems like I am only getting a couple of days until needing charge, rather than closer to a week.

11.00 was quite ok as for battery. @Longstag, I would recommend to try factory reset and try again charge the watch clean to 100%, how long it takes to use and if behaviour persists, it is most probably hw battery issue.

I can confirm to jetguat that also my F5x after updated the v11.0 firmware has a reduced battery range.

Update to 11.56 beta, that seems to me and others too to have very cool battery usage and overall looks quite ok.

I've twice had my 5x discharge overnight instead of charging when plugged into the cable, but I found that one of the cable-pins had 'stuck' so I put down to that.
Otherwise, tests I did using GPS 2.30 and update version 11 showed improved battery performance compared to previous versions. Previously I got only about 12 hrs out of it and now it only is 50% discharged at 12 hrs.
