Battery won't charge after change to 20.0. Plugged it in last night at 76% and it still says 76% this morning. Charging indicator is on, it's just not charging.
After 48 h: From 100% to 90%! Firmware-Version 20.0, Fenix 5x, no third part Apps or Widgets!. Seconds are displayed in my Watchface.
It is my third Fenix 5x and I had never had problems with the battery life. On the two first units, I had problems with the USB-Connectot (pin 3!). But now, it seems tha tthe problem has been fixed!
I have been using 20.0 for just over a week, having installed when it was the Release Candidate. Because there is so much discussion here about battery usage, I check the usage at lease once a day. I can say that for days without GPS use during my runs, my average usage is about 10% per day. That can range from a low of 5.7% over a 13 hour period to a high of 14.6% over a 12 hour period. It varies, I guess this might relate to things like notifications which vary. I use a stock watch face with watch hands and a second hand. I have quite a bit of notifications activated including WhatsApp, calendar reminders, ToDo notifications and others like breaking news, 2 factor authentication and more. I also have the optical heart rate monitor on using per second setting.
On days when I use GPS & Galileo on my 40 to 60 minute runs, I might get 20% to 25% per day battery drain.
It seems to be among one of the better firmware releases for me. Some earlier ones have been quite bad. I would love 7% per day but with the kind of usage that I put the watch through, I consider 10% to be perfectly reasonable.
When I charge my watch, I allow it to remain at 100% for at least 15 to 20 minutes. I have found if I don't do this, I find it falls to less than 100% almost immediately. I also stop and restart the watch after every full charge and I recharge when it get to around 25%.
I run around 4 times per week and find that I need to charge the watch weekly.
