NRF9160 Firmware modem & Battery

Hi,

I encounter a problem, in my opinion, related to the modem firmware (or model B0 and B1).

My program connects to the LTE-M network and sends data from a sensor.

I use the Icarus board from Actinius and test the following configurations:

  • Version B0 (old board, v 1.4) + Firmware 1.2.3 + SDK 1.9 -> Works on USB and Battery
  • Version B0 (old board, v 1.4) + Firmware 1.3.2 + SDK 2.1 -> Failed (but it's normal, firmware not aligned)
  • Version B1 (v2) + Firmware 1.3.2 + SDK 1.9 -> Works on USB but Failed on Battery
  • Version B1 (v2) + Firmware 1.3.2 + SDK 2.1 -> Works on USB but Failed on Battery

Can't run the new B1 Version on battery (but works on USB). I don't understand why.

Battery -> LS17500 3,6V from Saft (so ok).

Does somebody have an idea ?
Does the modem need more power ??

Thanks
