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

Question

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?

The sim can be a bit "generic" in stuff like this and doesn't always look the same on a real device. 
 And how/what is shown on a real device varies by device. I forget which devices, but I recall one where the level would only change every 10%. 
 Maybe just show 1 digit after the decimal so it doesn't look so odd on a device where you only get an integer value. Or just always show the integer value. 
 you could try something like comparing the int value to the float value, and if they are the same, just show the int value.
