      @zhang965 My S9B is 2 years old. I tried a factory reset by SuuntoLink after fully night charge. The discharge is 10%/h.

        @Sergei-Ladeishchikov thanks for reporting. I have the same issue after the latest software update. Before the update the battery lasted for more than one week with 1-2 activities during that time. Now it doesn’t last even a full day after 100% charge without any activities, not even wearing the watch. I’ve tried full reset as recommended by the Suunto support, no success. Now they want me to send the watch for an inspection. To be honest I don’t want to pay for fixing an issue which is obviously caused by software.

          @maxm23 hi! Have you tried downgrading the software and calibrating the battery?

            @Sergei-Ladeishchikov No, I haven’t tried to downgrading the software and calibrating the battery. Wasn’t aware of that possibility. Where can I find the instruction how to do it?

              Charge your watch to 100% then waiting it drops to 0 untill you can only see the empty battery icon all over the screen and charge again to 100%.

                you can find previous firmware here. download the one you want and pull it in SuuntoLink.
                Battery calibration sometimes goes weird, but what you describe is clearly not normal. my watch works the same as before the upgrade

                  My watch I sent to unofficial service for diagnostic. There isn’t official service in my region and watch warranty ended.

                      I know, it’s…the last secours… personally the battery is getting lower capacity after 2years

                        @freeheeler thank you very much for sharing. I couldn’t find the 2.20.30 release, which is the second latest. Any idea where to get this one?

                            @zhang965 It would be fine if the battery capacity would go down by 5-10% after a certain time. But degreasing directly after the update by >80% is not ok.

                                      any trick how to install the “older” firmware? I’ve dragged and dropped the .zip file content to Suuntolink and connected the watch. It shows still the latest firmware. Does it need to be a Windows device?
