        @isazi Do you know if the the hot fix is also for the 9pp ?
        I purchased my watch 2 weeks ago and the battery is far from what is advertised.
        First charge 5 days (with about 5hrs of gps activity).
        second charge, this time I disabled the OHR during the day, and pulse ox during the night, as well as stand by display. About 3hrs of gps activity: it was 6 days ago, 18%remaining.
        Quite disappointing so far.

          @Robin123 all watches, but in my experience S9PP is the least affected by the drain

            @Robin123 I agree with you that the advertising claim ( Daily use: Smartwatch mode
            up to 30 days (60 days with solar)) is not true. With a fully charged battery, I have a battery consumption (without activity and without HR or Oxi Monitor) of approx. 10 - 12 % within 2 days. The advertised runtimes will never be achieved.This advertised battery life was a reason for me to switch from the Suunto 9 Peak to the Vertical Solar.

              @Klaane My experience vith SV (non-solar) is as follows: in exactly 10 days, the battery charge dropped from 100% to 27%, with the fact that during this time I played sports for 7.5 hours (trail running and MTB). I estimate that the watch consumes 4%-5% of energy per day (with 24/7 OHR), and during sports training 3%-4% per hour (full performance mode).

                @Mouse-Cruiser I can confirm your findings. I am on the same consumption. I average about 2 weeks of battery (100% -> 15%) with an average of 6 - 8hours of gps recoding a week. Minimal notifications because I have dissabled most to try and squeeze more out of the battery.

                    @MacMillan As @isazi for ex. and many others wrote in this post the hotfix is on its way, just be patient. In the meantime you can do just a little trick advised here many times. And I don’t know since when you have your SV but mine, from november 2023 with first firmware v. 2.25.66 keep battery life as expected, easily up to 45 days (no solar version). Even with this battery drain but applying temporary solution my battery lasts 4 weeks now with 5 workouts every week and with one exception, it was only charged to 87%.

                        You have to wait for a hotfix release, coming soon, which should correct the battery drain. Suunto teams are aware of this issue.

                          Do you guys even take the minimal effort to read at least part of what is included in the post?

                            @EdCaballer Not sure if you’ve read this thread. What is your firmware version? If you have not updated yet, I would try to discharge it to 0% and then charge again to 100% and check if it’s better. If you have the latest version, then you have to wait for a hot fix, unfortunately.

                                    A fix is being tested, if everything works out should be here in a week or two.

                                    Are there still issues to investigate or is there a corrected FW under tests ?
                                    I still need to do a still to do a soft reset every week (map + navigation) ?

                                        @Antoine as far as I know, the planned timeframe is still September (and today is only the 17th).
