High battery drain after fully charged

over 1 year ago

I bought a forerunner 965 a few days ago. It came with 79% battery and I haven't charge it for a few days. Today when it reached ~ 50% I charged it to 100% (BTW: it was relatively fast to reach 99%, and then took lot of time to reach 100%) and the battery is draining very fast now. It lost 4% in the 1st hour. It looks like it's getting better with time (6% in 4 hours). On the other hand the built-in battery widget predicts 23 days. Is this something that will gett better after a few times I'll charge it?

    Hi, with version 20.26 the issue even got worse.

    battery is draining quickly. I'm thinking of leaving the beta program

    20.26 is not beta any more, it's the official latest public release.

    I have no intention of leaving garmin products. Just convince them to solve this issue.

    I had fenix 6x before and never encountered such severe problem....

    For your information Fenix 8 / Enduro 3 / Fenix E just received 11.64 with Battery Drain and Naps fixes.

    , Garmin yes you can, all FRx55/x65 are waiting for your feedback for a fix too

    My Garmin Forerunner 965 watch has just started doing similar. Fully charged says 50 days, a week later 45, fine, then a few days later of wearing but not using it's 20 days. Maybe should replace the battery?

    What? 50 days????
    But you're still lucky, because you reach the "a week later" state, while mine only holds 5.5 days...

    Hi all,

    20.29 didn't fix the battery drain here, at all. After 11 days !! and it is empty.
    I installed a battery gauge app to see if something is happening.  For me, it is strange that at certain times the battery drains fast for a short period. But I heard that the steps in the gauge are per 1% and it is not going linear down.You can see it in my screenshots.
    I can not really see over what time this is happening, but it is every time at a certain time.
    Hope that someone knows what this could be..

    Best regards,
    Manolito

    What did you do between 10:22 and 7:15? When did you sleep? Did you do any activities? Did you wake up the watch for more than a glance at the time? Which watch face you use? Is AOD enabled?

    Also: can you explain the 3rd picture? The 1st and 2nd seem to have been taken when it was 93% but the 3rd shows 5%? It's like the 3rd was taken 10 days after the first two.
