I fully agree.

I should be damn sure the computer does not give up on me.
But it looks like it still functions properly.

I will change the battery anyhow (i do not like Mr. Murphy anyway)
I do not mind the cost but if it turns out that the computer gives
wrong data that may worry me seriously.

I wonder what a test on the old battery will give.
( i will keep you informed about this one)

If it is still at 80 % capacity could it be that a new battery after a 
equal period of usage in equal circumstances (water at 8 degrees C) will
still produce BAT ?
If that is the case we should ask the SUUNTO folks why we get that
disturbing "false" alarm.

Maybe other computers have a simular problem ?

Anyone out there with simular findings ?

Happy SAFE diving everyone
