KW88 Battery Life

Am I supposed to do the battery calibration when the watch is fully charged, close to being empty or does it not matter at all when I do it?

For a week or so, my KW88 won’t charge beyond 59% and often shuts down within an hour or two zof being “fully” charged. It really annoys me!

Hey guys,

I did this Akku calibration yesterday. Since fully charging I’m testing now.
With the similar lemfo les1 like kw88.

I have insert a SIM and have GSM 3G on.
Bluetooth, GPS wlan and mobile data are off.

Wrist activate is of too.

I closed all Backround Apps and did a cleaning.

I turned on my watch at 9 o’clock with 100 %.
Now it is 11 o’clock and Akku shows 100%

I don’t now yet, what the watch is doing at 20 % (before I did calibration it often shut down by 20 %)

I copy this text to lemfo les1 "energy saving -----"too and will write my experiences there.


Yeah there is definitely something wrong with the battery statistics reported…  I’ve been testing my KW88 in a low power mode >> Power Save On, screen brightness on low, all sensors off etc… the battery stats will report the same number for a long time then jump down… I had done a battery calibration etc before starting this test.  The good news is the watch lasted more than a week… but less that the 15 days predicted based on an original estimate of using 3% of battery life per day.  Here are my results

Date         Time         Battery %     % Change

5/9/2017       9:00AM    100.00%

5/10/2017     9:00AM     91.00%     -9.00%

5/11/2017     9:00AM     91.00%      0.00%

5/12/2017     9:00AM     90.00%     -1.00%

5/13/2017     9:00AM     90.00%      0.00%

5/14/2017     9:00AM     65.00%     -25.00%

5/15/2017     9:00AM     65.00%      0.00%

5/16/2017     9:00AM     64.00%     -1.00%

5/17/2017     9:00AM     64.00%      0.00%

5/18/2017     9:00AM     0.00%     -64.00%

Not sure whether the battery just died today or whether the watch crashed… the built-in battery statistics screen looked odd…(see picture attached)

I’m going to try an app like Accu​Battery to see if I can get better info.

Thanks - but that setting was already off on my watch.  I’m generally pleased that I can get long battery life out of the watch when necessary, however, the battery statistics, event after running an app like  Accu​Battery are just wrong… not sure how to resolve this (I’m resisting a full reset at this point.)  Right now the battery has been reporting 87% for 2.5 days and Accubattery says in sleep mode, the battery will last another 214 hrs!  I don’t think that is realistic LOL!!!

Read this guys

The reality is you have to keep clearing google data after you have used playstore etc . Read link above . It really works and if problem returns " do it again "

Thankyou

My kww88 …after go through the forum …i try to note my watch battry timing …charged it 4 am to 99% and now its 5:46pm and battry left 78%…so its good for my watch i first charged fully battry when i open it form the box and drained fully …2 tes i repet this prcedure now battry is good …but not how long it will b…:smile::sweat_smile::laughing:

I found out that some watch face use less energy. I accidentally choose a non animated watchface, at about 72 hours later, my watch showing 31% (I charged it to 91% prior to this).
