Fenix 7x Saphire Solar official Update 8.37 and less battery life...

Hi everyone.

Discovered that after official firmwere update from 7.24 to 8.37 my battery life dropped for about one week down from 28days in 100% to 22 days in fully charged.

Checked, for solution in other topics and after factory reset and restart still problem not solved..

Any ideas what else can effect that mych to battery life???

Hr not on the main screen..

Is a Any voice from garmin team about it...?

  • Whenever that happens to me, I always figure out that it was some setting that got turned on that I didn't want turned on; as soon as I find what it is, and turn it off, the battery estimate goes back to where it should be.

    For example, recently I was confused why my normal 32 day estimate was showing 28 days on a full charge... took me a few minutes to figure out it's because I left the touchscreen turned on.

    Hard for me to give you specific suggestions since it could be any one (or multiple) of like 50 different settings.

  • Thanks C.sco for Your quick respond. Appreciate.

    Yes, You are right. I went deep in the options and switched on and off HR transmitting in system settings then on the screen battery live switch to 26 days, also checked pulse oximeter have effect on battery life, switched for manual checks only. It helps rise from 22 days to 26 bl.

    Thanks again a have good day!
