Software Update 2.48.16 (2025 November Rain release)
-
@Egika there is so much stuff that happen while I innocently running with my watch

-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Yes, the “ghost” bip/buzz when you power on a BT sensor is still there. Battery drain also, because it seems that BT process continues searching for BT devices as in the previous sw version.
Verified (and easily reproducible) in my Suunto Vertical. -
@thanasis According to my tests (also performed with the previous software) th BT connection process keeps searching for devices after finishing activities. I can reproduce the behavior just powering on my Heart rate sensor (Coospo), the watch bips and buzzes when connects to the sensor, in the watchface screen outside activities.
If you soft reset the watch, BT connection process is restarted and doesn´t search for devices until you start another activity.
In my case this is causing a 12-14% battery drain by day outside activities (Vertical Solar Ti).
I sent logs to Suunto. -
Just want to confirm that I’m also still experiencing the same battery behavior as @jjpaz above with no improvements over the previous software. Still have random ghost notifications (buzzes) outside of activities that seem to be BT related and random high battery consumption. Some days are good with normal battery drain, while others have significant drops, up to 10-15% overnight. This is for both 9PP and V1.

Last Tuesday morning I’ve updated my 9PP to this firmware: during the evening, reached a battery level between 10-20%, I fully recharged the watch.
Today (now), after almost 7 days, the battery level is 64%.
From firmware 2.40.44, the last one stable and used on my watch, to 2.48.16 I’ve not changed anything in my routine and device use: actually, with 2.40.44, a 100% battery lasted more or less 8-10 days.
I will continue monitoring the battery discharge, to 10-20% and for the next battery cycles, but, at the moment, firmware 2.48.16 (for me) it’s doing its work.
For me it behaves like you describe but only until I have any sport mode activated.
Then nothing can stop the drain out of the battery.
3-4 days on 9pp. Factory reset or soft reset didn’t help. -
@Egika very interesting! I wasn’t aware that it’s become that sophisticated. I’m still using flashlights that report voltage levels

-
@jjpaz I have the same problem with SV and Suunto smart belt as I posted yesterday… these beeps appear several uncountable times during training and also after training… yesterday it seemed that the belt won’t disconnect after activity
-
@Horizontal_2 I’m interested in seeing some of your new graphs.
How did you make the graph? Which software do you use? Maybe I’ll try taking my own measurements with my Suunto Vertical. -
@segi_pn I’ll update in a day or two. I’m trying to turn on the Flight mode for the night, maybe longer. Just to see if the drain comes from connectivity. The graph of previous cycle was more exciting because sometimes it did get the 5% per day easily

It’s just Excel. Everytime I see the battery drop 1% I note the time in my phone. One or two times per day I update the sheet and voilla. Sometimes I skip a percentage

Make sure you enable flight mode from Settings, not from Control panel. Don’t know if the bug is still there with current firmware, but Airplane mode toggle in Control panel would not disable Bluetooth. 🤨

I have tried putting aeroplane mode on from the settings whilst at work, battery drain continues no different to if aeroplane mode is not on, approx 1% every 2 hours on average sitting around.
