I just called to Suunto and they said that this phenomenon is only effec=
t
of temperature/battery/chemical-thing. Also, they said that when the new=

battery is installed it can give you BAT warning few times because the
Lithium batteries will be internally oxidized when stored (and not in us=
e)
and will recover when they are taken in the use (after 10-20 mins). They=

are not giving full power instantly.

You can call Suunto at +358-0-847 033 (GMT+2h)
