How to improve Moto 360 Battery life

[vzwuser76]

Before getting an extended battery which I no longer remove from my Thunderbolt, I used to frequently switch between stock size batteries (1600mah), and I would see that happen. Could be an HTC thing, I don't know, but always thought that it was strange.

That's what I'm wondering as well. Maybe HTC stores more parameters in with their battery stats. Like I said it almost acted like "Last Known Good Configuration" or "System Restore" on a Windows PC. I've never heard of this happening to anyone else until you, but the fact that they're both HTC phones must have something to do with it.

Took it off charger today at 930am...its now 8pm....so about ten hours use....still at 58%!

May I ask, do you have any third party apps or watch faces on the watch? Go you have your watch set on automatic brightness or at a particular setting?
Just got mine yesterday and I have used 22% in 2.5 hours.

I think the update did a lot for the battery life, but I also trained it in this manner.

This is really insane. You cannot "train" a lithium battery. Be sure you know what you are talking about before you make such idiotic posts so you do not waste peoples valuable time.

Actually battery calibration is a very real thing, and very effective. Definitely an occurring practice with lithium ion batteries.

Yes, you can calibrate a battery. And yes in a sense, you could think of it "as training". Obviously you lack that understanding, and are a little rough about it too.

So I've noticed a lot of people complaining about the battery life of their watches, so I want to share how I fixed mine

When I first got my phone, it asked my to charge, you have to charge it to 100% before you use it
Once its at 100% and useable, the battery seems to be well, but then suddenly drops very quickly...this happened to me
This is how I fixed it

1. Charge to 100%, and use it until the battery dies (not 2% or 1%...let it die)
2. Charge it back up all the way, you will notice the battery acting different, taking longer to charge, and dropping quickly
3. Let it drop to about 2% now, then charge it up all the way (you are "training" the battery to use the full max of it battery)
4. The battery should be noticeably better

After I've done this, my watch has lasted from 100% as 7:30AM to 36% at 1:30AM all the time

I made an account just to say thank you!!! I don't know anything about battery memory and calibrating, but following your advice fixed the problem for me. I had the watch for about a week and I was about to take the loss and give up, before finding this post. I have wifi on, tilt to wake on, custom watch faces and ambient off. I'm averaging about 1 1/2 days, depending on how many notifications I get. That's well over the 8 - 10 hours I was averaging before (even with disabling wi-fi, notifications, and using stock watch faces). Thanks for the advice.
