My Garmin Fenix 6X Pro battery has just started draining at an alarming rate. It does not even last 1 day from fully charged. Software is 27.0. This has only just started happening. I did connect it to Garmin Express a recently, but not sure if it downloaded…
I had the issue of battery drain after GPS usage (if not rebooted or a non-GPS-activity was started) on my 7S pro ss.
They replaced it with a new one which is working fine. So maybe the software has its issues but this may have been hardware related.
…this battery drain is more or less clear, there was a change by Garmin to use Pulse OX over a longer period greater then 4 hours during sleep!
all other battery drains issues are different!
After updating to 28.13, I've had the normally excellent battery life accelerate significantly (5hr ride = 45% remaining!) I checked the auto screen brightness setting which caused it in a prior build; it's set to auto. Also checked GPS satt choice…
Ever since the v26.30 update, my Descent Mk2i battery had started to drain at the rate of about 45% per day, giving me 2 days of battery time, against at least 10 days previously. I tried every trick in the forums to come out of this including
In my experience battery go from 100% to 80% in 2 days and then it drains slowly. At least that is what i experienced. Still get around 9-10 days battery
Upgraded from 16.16 to 16.17 and battery consumption went from about 6% to 24% a day. Anyone else?

Thank you :! But no, PulseOx if off as by default. I found out something is probably wrong with post-activity power management, as happens for other users. see here.
