Battery drain
-
@Mattg576 Well, I got to the end in one piece! Yes, the weather was pretty awful at times up on the mountains. Freezing rain and black ice were additional hazards during the first night and one poor chap was limping badly as he came back into the village of Thwaite having slipped on the ice.
As a matter of course I put the watch on charge at each main checkpoint. I had no idea how bad the backlight issue was affecting battery life and did not want to risk losing navigation.

That’s a great achievement @GKnoll , well done mate .
I hope Suunto sort the backlight issue so you don’t need to worry about it when you undertake the full Spine next year

Under 2.50.26, I notice that my overnight, off-wrist battery consumption approximately doubles (vs 2.46…)
My only change for the new FW was to enable North-up mapping.
2.50… did add the wifi weather updates (which do not work for me … could there be repetitive attempts by the watch to connect to wifi and the App that drain power?)
