INSANE BATTERY DRAIN

thomaz 1 month ago

hey guys.

i've been reporting insane battery drain on my fr 255. I got in touch with support and got no help at all as I'm in Brazil.

Watch is draining 10% in less than 3 hours.

I have to recharge it every 3 days. INSANE

Lots of threads about this recently. I just got an update this morning that I am hoping will improve my battery drainage

what is the update?

Is it regarding new software update?

Updated to version 20.31

I'm using the 20.31 firmware and it didn't change the battery drain. I'm still having massive battery drain even after the update

Do you have Garmin Share enabled (under connectivity) Some indicate disabling it also helps.

I see in the Fenix forum a Garmin comment regarding incident detection remaining enable after activity end . Not sure if you have that enabled , I dont. (if it applies to a 255 I am not sure)
