Battery life higher than displayed

Hello,

I was out for a cycle today and was trying to get to 100km. When I got to 70km (3.5 hours into the ride) a notification popped up saying the battery was low. I had to abandon the ride at 78km to make sure that I didn't lose any data. I have a Garmin Vivoactive 3 and charged it to 100% before I set off.

It is now an hour later and the battery is now saying that it has 27% left! I haven't charged it using the USB cable, potato or otherwise.

Is there a way to fix this? It would have been really annoying to have lost that data, but I'm even more annoyed that I could have kept going and finished my ride.

Thanks,

Eric

Doesn’t answer the question, but rather than risk loosing data and cutting the ride short one could stop the activity at a point it looks risky. Then start a new activity. One may loose some of the 2nd activity but not the entire ride.
