BATTERY LIFE REDUCED

3851545 29 days ago

Battery deteriorated suddenly After latest update December 2024. Battery used to last 7-10 days, now it loses +50% in a single day. Change happened overnight after software upgrade. Checked all settings, no changes. Please advise.

Given up. I was the one who raised the “thread” 25 days ago and I am still in the dark with no answers. Absolutely no support from Garmin on the issue and their willingness to assist with customer support…

I switched my watch off. Charged it to 100% and it is looking good now, so I was a bit quick saying 12.12 didn't work. looks like I needs a power cycle after the update.

reported the same. 15-17% daily avg from 8-10%.
Possibly they have re-introduced a constantly returning bug...incident detection runs in the background even if you have not activated it.

Same thing here... :'(

I experience the same. I thought I might have enabled something (which I didn't), but it seems others experience similar increased battery drain.
OS version 12.11 did not help, so hoping a new fix will come out soon.

Same here. Just took it off the charger around 2pm today and at 8:30pm I'm already down to 80%

Same story here. Previously lasted more than a week per charge, now lasts less than 48 hours. I'm on version 12.11.

Seems nobody from Garmin even reads these forums, with no answer (crickets) and no solution being posed one week later. Same problem persists, and I posted here hoping Garmin would read & resolve. It appears not. Perhaps it's Whoop time....

Same here. Normal the Garmin Venu 3 lasts 8 days, now it's only 48h.
