Software Update 2.48.16 (2025 November Rain release)

[false]

Suunto’s changelog N years later:
“Battery drain problem fixed”

Still draining, though

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@false users posts after any FW update:

• Battery drain

The new sleep report is nice, but when I rewatch it from the menu it’s still the old style (sleep phases )

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I don’t want to start a new debate, but there have been several updates promising to fix this issue, and it seems that for most users on this forum nothing changed. If Suunto keeps releasing updates that seem to address mostly this major problem, and nothing changes, it’s a very big problem in terms of credibility.
I know it’s too early to judge; I’m waiting for my watch to discharge. So far the battery consumption has been…confusing.

@thailon My morning report had that information this morning.

[cheetah694]

Lots of upset people here, and not that I was missing an updated morning report, but I’ll just say this:

Thanks for keeping 9 Peak Pro in the loop. So far the best update yet, and by that I mean nothing that was already working is broken. Yay!

• sleep tracking and morning report were ok the day of the update. Now second day, I got the report but no sleep tracking…
• the watch keeps going in safe state while charging and keeps resetting itself.

[Stefano M64]

Updated yesterday my Race, very happy that for the first time my customized sport modes weren’t deleted(!), let’s see if the battery drain is reduced as announced.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

Tradition must be kept
Just waiting for “fixed battery drain” in the next one

[Tieutieu]

Isn’t a full cycle of discharge/charge needed to have proper battery calibration ?

[Josaiplu]

@Tieutieu yep still recommended from what I’ve read in this thread, I however already have a battery consumption that match specification (5-6% day, 1% during sleep and 1-2%/h of during gps activity with AOD and performance mode) without doing the full cycle, let’s hope affected user will go back to normal after such cycle
If it is linked to BT sensors maybe ensuring that the BT sensors are off could help with battery drain (if still happen)

[Fenr1r]

@inkognito Yup: reproduced on SV1 with Concentric Analog.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@false I ll try to make sure that even if there is no drain the line is added

[Tami999]

Sadly first night, no sleep summary. Today wake up and my Race 2 registered my sleep as a nap… so still I was not able to see new one. I hope today I will finally see it.

[Frederick Rochette]

On my side, the battery issue seems to be resolved: I have used 6% in 25 hours.

[Stefan Kersting]

@Francesco-Pagano it’s really sad that we are coming to that point where we suunto users have to monitor if there’s battery drain or not. This issue has been there a long time and has potential to evolve to a problem for the reputation of suunto

what was wrong before ?
what is ur hope ?

@dani_degi said in Software Update 2.48.16 (2025 November Rain release):

My hope is that Suunto will finally (for real!) fix this issue that’s already become a meme. Just look at the number of battery drain complaints after every update - despite the release notes saying “fixed battery drain”.
And the funny thing is, the problem shows up even for users who had no issues before those update

[BastMaSVSRS9PP]

I feel your pain guys. But I have to report that the watch works just fine after the update. Battery seems ok and I like the new morning report. Well done Suunto!

@Stefan-Kersting I‘ve been „offline“ for some time. Was this a Vertical only issue or were there battery drain problems with all devices?
