The total absorption spectrometer installed at the GSI on-line mass separator was used to study the β-decay of the Jπ=9+ isomer in 70Br. The decay energy QEC of the isomer was found to be 12.19(±7stat±4sys) MeV. By comparing this value with the estimated QEC value for the ground state of 70Br, the excitation energy of isomer is found to be 2.23(9) MeV. The latter result removes ambiguities that can be found in literature.
