Battery drain after a activity

Hi,

On my fenix5 is runnning now version 14.73 after I had problems with the v14.20.and the downgrade to v13.30 (the battery was draining even if in the past there was no problems with 13.30)

Now in 1 week the battery drained only aprox. 30% but yesterday after a swimming activity the battery began to drain again quickly. I restarted the watch and the battery drain stopped.

Everytime I do a activity the draining problem occurs and the watch must be restarted. Someone else has the same problem? Thanks

Is it syncing the activity quickly and without problems?

Yes, it syncs without problems. Probably something stays on after the activity is stopped. I tried with a activity like cycling with gps (10 hours of activity) and yesterday with 30 minutes swimming in a pool (without gps..) and same problem occurs.

I'm having a similar problem, upgraded to 14.73 beta, because 14.20 was so rubbish because of the battery drain of 25-30 % in a day, but still having the same problems with 14.73, this has been going on for so long, reading other people's posts and still no fix.

Try turning off bluetooth on fenix after sync to isolate problem

I turned it of...not immediately after sync but I don't stay with bluetooth on at night :)

Have tried that it doesn't help with anything. Still drains, it's very strange , sometimes it's working fine and using around 0.5% battery an hour and then suddenly goes crazy and uses around 2.0 % per hour. Perplexed.
