I was having the most amazing nap until my Forerunner 165 woke me up to ask me if I wanted to enable battery saver mode. I never want to enable battery saver mode. How do I prevent these alerts?

    Hello,

    Are you able to take a video or picture of the alert you get and reply to this thread with it? I have checked all settings, the Forerunner 165 does not have an alert for this cannot be turned it. This is something that is default to tell you IF the watch is dying. It should alert you once it hits 10% or below. Do you know if the watch is lower battery at the times you notice this alert?

    It came on at 11% today. Usually it's between 20% and 25%. But anyway, it's annoying regardless of what percentage the battery is at, and I want to disable it.

    Hello,

    That is by design on that watch. Unfortunately you cannot disable those alerts on the Forerunner 165, it is not a feature that comes with the watch (turning it off an on). It looks to be incorporated in the algorithm to give you that alert at a certain percentage depending on how much you use the battery during the charging cycle. 

    How to Use Power Manager on Garmin Watches

    Power Manager offers various settings to manage battery use:

    • Battery Saver: controls everyday settings, such as backlight, smartphone connection, or optical heart rate.

    • Power Modes: allow you to set these features for use for individual activity profiles.

    • Battery Alerts: will let you know when your battery is getting low.

    To see if your watch supports these features, refer to your owner's manual. (FR165 does not support "Battery Alerts")
