System.getSystemStats().battery -> XX.0000 instead of XX.XXXX on newer generation watches (enduro3, fenix8, fr965)

Can anyone give me a hint why this code does not work as intended on newer devices?

var myStats = System.getSystemStats();
var battraw = myStats.battery.toFloat();
var batt = 0.0; // battery percent
batt = Lang.format( "$1$%", [ battraw.format( "%2.4f" ) ] );
System.println("Batt: " + batt);

Output Fenix 8 simulator: 
Batt: 43.4567%

Output Fenix 8 real device: 
Batt: 43.0000%

Output Fenix 7 simulator: 
Batt: 43.4567%

Output Fenix 7 real device: 
Batt: 43.4567%

Only 1 per cent accuracy on the Fenix 8 - full accuracy on the Fenix 7 - Why?

Your post is interesting, but off-topic - this thread is about the precision of ‘battery’ and not ‘batteryInDays’.
Imho it would make sense not to mix up the topics and to open a new thread on the subject of batteryInDays. This will ensure that the title and content match.

My question has already been answered by jim_m_58 and flocsy - the precision of the ‘battery’ value depends on the hardware and is not the same for all watches. Plus: The simulator sometimes shows a different behaviour than the real device.

You asked - Can you please explain in more detail what you mean?

I answered - but I agree
