On Suunto 9 Peak Pro there are three predefined battery modes – Performance, Endurance and Tour. You can also create a custom battery mode for the sport mode you selected.
When starting an exercise, Performance mode is activated by default. To switch mode, swipe down and go to “battery mode” in the options: when you select one, you will see the battery mode settings, also shown below:
Note: "Good" GPS accuracy/Endurance mode use a power saving 1-second GPS fix setting. This means that you can still use the watch's navigation features on these settings.

Note: Battery mode selection is memorized in the watch. The last battery mode you selected with a specific sport mode will be suggested to you the next time you launch that same sport mode.
