Battery drains fast

8765792
over 5 years ago

Since the latest update I am having to charge my watch twice a day. It is currently 13months old. I was using it connected to phone and to monitor my heart rate all day, and it would last 2 days. Including monitoring my training twice a day.

Since the update I have had to turn off Bluetooth and HR monitor and it still only lasts half the day. I have changed the display and alot of the settings to increase battery, but it hasn't helped.

Yesterday I did exercise on the morning, but my watch on charge starts at around 0900, at lunch time my watch was at 100% so put it back on and by 1530 it was down to 35% using it just as a watch.

    Hello! Can you please sync your device with Garmin Express and then reset your device to defaults and if you have any CIQ apps downloaded, please do not download them immediately. Let's see how the battery holds up for about 48 hours. Then clean the contacts with rubbing alcohol and charge through the computer.

    I charged my watch yesterday, as I've done for the last 2 years, but it only got to 99% before I had to remove the USB, overnight it fell to 1% and powered off.  I've occasionally gave it a booster charge and removed the USB sub 100% no problem so hopefully it was a one off it seems to have went back to its normal discharge pattern when I charged it today to 100% :-/

    I have been having the same problem only in the last week. My battery is draining in 48 hours and I'm not using any apps on it and currently only using it to tell me the time! I have cleared any downloaded apps and made sure the software is up to date admnd hasn't changed anything. I would hate to know how long the watch lasts me if I decided to go for a run and use the gps

    I've been experiencing similar problems of battery discharge, losing around 5-6% per hour. Running software version 7.70. I followed your previous instructions for reset with no improvement. The watch until recently lasted 5-7 days on a full recharge.

    Any suggestions?

    Long shot but mine did similar when I charged it to 99% (Flat overnight) but when I charged it the next time to 100% it seems back to norm and charges of circa 25-50 % last longer than the 99% charge

    Hi! No, that is nothing new for me. When the watch tells 100% you can give an additional hour of charging and the initial drain in the first hour will be minimized from 25% to about 10%. This was the case for new watch and after three years before battery went mad 4 weeks ago.

    To summarize: I have same battery draining isue and it did not solve the problem. Thanks for suggesting.

    I have tried everything as listed. Still I am facing battery drain issue. Full charge won't last more than 6-8 hours.
