All,
I'm very sorry if you are experiencing increased battery drain. Please see Tips to Extend the Battery Life on a Garmin Fitness Watch, and if the tips do not help please reach out to Garmin Product…
Yes, this is a known problem with the 20.xx firmware and we've been complaining about it throughout the beta phase.
Have to admit I’m not impressed with this answer from Garmin. Sorry for your battery drain but switch off lot’s of stuff that you bought the watch for in the first place to save battery. Not really the…
The full battery is 100%. The power-saving mode drops by 3% overnight. It only costs 1% before upgrading. Can the developer of garmin explain the reason?
They could start fixing the software after all these years.
Why is there no response from Garmin yet? Garmin-Sierra Please give some feedback?
I had the same problem. 5-10 % drain during the night. Turning off HRM and Jabra in-ears under Sensors & Accessories seems to have fixed the issue for me. Maybe the watch is constantly searching for HRM and Jabra after updating to 20.26?? Not a permanent fix, but I will stick to it until Garmin releases a permanent fix...
Not really a relevant fix for me. Disabling functions to extend battery life is not the answer. I will just charge the watch twice a week instead of once until an update to resolve the issue.
Interestingly Fenix 8 got fix that sounds pretty relatable to this case.
Fenix 8 System Software 11.64 - fēnix 8 Series - Wearables - Garmin Forums
So probably, similar fix should come to others also...
