Forerunner 945 lte Battery drain issue

Hi, since I got my 945 lte last week, I noticed a battery drain issue. The watch last maximum 4 days win 90 minutes running gps only. Is this a hardware issue?

Garmin-Brooks - any comment from Garmin on whether this issue is being tracked/worked or if any if the current beta firmware (3.05) or next beta firmware will address this?

My battery has been draining quickly, too, it seems. Most recently it drained much faster than I expected over the past 24 hours (I would guess 2% per hour) with no activities and LTE off. I have noticed…

Hi! Since the latest update, i did a full reset of my 945lte and... All is now excellent! At last! I now reach easily 7 to 10 days! I do not know what changes were made but it is now resolved on my end!

My watch is six month old. 11:00pm 100% charge. Go to bed with HR monitoring on (phone is in airplane mode) 25% loss when I go to run in the morning. 3.5 hour run later using LTE (no music) another 50% gone. By 11:00 24 hrs later it is at 7%.

Hello, I also did a factory reset at the weekend and the problem currently seems to be solved.

I ran for about one and a half hours with GPS (+ Galileo) and music (Deezer), then 88% battery capacity.

Next day, I had 74% battery capacity left (after deactivating the weather display after the run ,perhaps relevant, don't know).
