5.1.4. Battery power management
Your Suunto 5 Peak has a battery power management system that uses intelligent battery
technology to help ensure your watch does not run out of power when you need it most.
Before you start recording an exercise (see Recording an exercise), you see an estimate of
how much battery life you have left in the current battery mode.
There are three predefined battery modes; Performance (default), Endurance, and Tour.
Changing between these modes will change the lifetime of the battery but also change the
performance of the watch.
NOTE: By default, Tour mode disables all HR tracking (both wrist and chest). To enable
HR tracking in Tour mode, go to Options under the start indicator.
Before you start recording an exercise, you can tap Options » Battery mode to change the
battery modes and see how each mode aects the performance of the watch.
TIP: You can also quickly change the battery mode in the start recording an exercise
display by pressing the upper right button.
In addition to these four predefined battery modes, you can create a custom battery mode
with your own desired settings. The custom mode is
specific for that sport mode, making it
possible to create a custom battery mode for every sport mode.
NOTE: If you start navigating or use navigation data during an exercise, such as
estimated time of arrival (ETA), the GPS accuracy shifts to Best, regardless of the selected
battery mode.
Battery
notifications
In addition to the battery modes, your watch uses smart reminders to help you ensure you
have enough battery life for your next adventure. Some reminders are preemptive based on,
for example, your activity history. You also get
notified, for example, when the watch notices
you are running low on battery while recording an activity. It will automatically suggest
changing to a dierent battery mode.
Your watch will alert you once when the battery is at 20% and again at 10%.
