14.20 and Battery - looks promising.

ikim1967 over 5 years ago

So far 14.20 has been positive for me with the battery. Doing spot checks shows it back to .3 percent per hour and staying consistent.

Still 6% in 6 hours.

I can't believe it takes Garmin months to figure out the problem.

I even got a replacement a few days ago, when contacting the support regarding the problem.

With that performance…

Update: 100% at 8.00 now 95% at 16.00

Wiyjout any activity or GPS, only HR.

Not OK at all. Incredible.

Exactly the same as with everything turned on.

I tried every combination. Even hard reset and skipped coupling to the phone.

Always the same result, 1.3/h.

Same problem for me. Works like a charme with previous version. Since upgraded to 14.20, battery lifs is really bad. Fully charged yesterday a t 10:00Pm.

Now (02:45:Pm) i have 78% battery witth only 1 hour run and 1 hour swim indoor....

Close to 25% in the last 24 hours with only 2 hours of sport session...

garmin express > fenix 5 > tolls & content > utilites > uncheck auto-update apps.
on watch go to settings > system > software update > off
but when connet watch to PC he always download new software and need to enter in \GARMIN folder of the device and delete gupdate.gcd and also can check folder \GARMIN\SCHEDULE for gupdate.gcd and delete him or watch will new software version

Today I went for a 1 hour run with 31% battery.

The battery died in 50 minutes...

Now I charged the watch fully to 100%, turned it off by holding the Light button for 20-30 seconds and rebooted it. I really hope this was one-time issue...
