Fenix 5 last 24.10 software drain battery

About a month my F5 is discharging in 2 days without any activities just heart rate monitoring. Has anyone a previous stable version link? After some search on the internet I can't find to download anything than 24.10 version.

Thanks

I did all this because I used a Fenix 3 for 2 years and this Fenix 5 for 3 years and I know all tips above. I don't understand why don't you offer a software collection from where to choose what…

I've the correct file http://www.f-blog.info/GarminFirmware/fenix5_2371Beta.zip download it and then go to the folder systembackdate and put the Gupdate in the garming folder. When you unplug your garmin it will appear an update

This time it works. Unziped and followed the steps described. This "update" appeared on screen after disconnected the watch from PC. Install take about 2 minutes. I'll leave another comment soon about the battery life. Greetings!

5% in 3h. This version of software isn't good than 24.10. From blog above I've got to more ofteare version backward 22.00 and 20.71. I'll try this evening and I'll post here conclusions. Greetings

After a successful update, you should perform another soft reset. Press the light button in the upper left corner until the watch turns off. Then switch it on again. Did you do that ?

Yes, it is like more a restart operation than and soft reset. I did it. But I will perform another "hard reset" and see what's happend. Keep close.

No matter what the version of software are installed, the life of battery didn't improve a bit. I've got 23 22 21 but nothing changed.

Consumption is about 12% @8h no matter what I do, without BT connection
