Forerunner 945 battery issue

I have huge problem with battery.

Before I used fenix 5x plus and battery 7days was standard.

Now I use 945 I every week I cut something and always less than days.

I already turn off pulsoxymetr tottaly , use less applications, run with only GPS without gallileo. Run less than 40km per week and my record 5 days.

How much your battery stay in 945?

Could be any of many factors. How the watch is used, IQ Connect apps (developers will tell you this is impossible, but I proved it to one by both of us testing with and without the IQ app), charging to often before letting the battery nearly drain (the battery will learn what it thinks is a full charge) or a defective watch. I have two friends that got their 945's within a couple of weeks of me (all in May). We pretty much use them the same way. Smart recording, backlight at 10%, and a few IQ apps if any. No issues between the 3 of us. There's 5 people posting with issues. I doubt that's even 1% of units sold. Unfortunately, it's more likely you're unlucky and hopefully you'll be able to get it resolved.

No problems at all here.

My 945 is consuming 5% per day. HR is always on, smartwatch mode is always on, pulse ox is off, backlight comes on after sunset (at 5%).

I have a huge problem with my battery since the update to 2.5. It wa 100% charged at 6am this morning, now 2 hours and 20 mins later it's on 43%, and that's without any activities or GPS use. Have tried powering off and back on, but not made any difference. If it remains like this then it will be sent back as faulty.

Hi Sime11 - do you have the wifi on. Turn auto updates off. What's happening with the HR Leds - off or flashing?

0 Sime11 over 5 years ago in reply to bill-d-b

Yes wi-fi is on, I've just turned off auto updates. HR LEDs are flashing

are you running any custom watch faces? I'd take everything back to basics and see if it makes a difference?

0 Sime11 over 5 years ago in reply to kitenski

No custom watch faces, everything is pretty much standard apart from going through the usual setup process to setup up bluetooth connection to phone, wi-fi etc.
