Battery Drain since few days

Hello,

Since few days, I find that there is an abnormal battery drain. Without doing any activity and with only the heart rate and activity monitoring activated I lose 10% / day whereas before it was maximum 5% / day.Do you also have this kind of problem?

Thanks

So after 9 days I confirm that I've a battery drain. Normally I charging my watch every 2 weeks, but actually the battery lost 70 % in 1 week with 2 gps activities of 1 hour.

I solved my 7% battery drain today. The watch was a never used spare my ex gave me that was sat nearly a year so I think this affected the battery. Things that didn't work: resetting the watch, hard reset…

How did you configure the altimeter calibration? If in the car not in operation I think that the watch occasionally activates the gps to calibrate itself and could consume battery, I found the map around the office where I had been in the morning even if I had not turned on the gps. Not if something changed with the update of the ephemeris file after January 1st.

Calibration out of activity is activated. I disabled it now

I have made a run activity with the GPS for 1 h, and I lost 12%, that is also abnormal because before I lost 5-8% / h in GPS activity

I created a thread on this.

This drain started after the GPS issue on NY ?

Hi,

I understand you just did a reset of the watch? Can you feedback if the battery drain is fixed? Thanks.

Not a valid solution...

In regards to the reset in question do we know if it was a soft reset, "hold the top left button down for 20 seconds" or if it was a hard reset, (menu > system > reset > delete data and reset settings)?

I did a full reset of my watch. For the moment I've lost 5% of my battery in 24h, I see if in a few days the battery drain will always be there.
