• 100 dives/year – 2 years
• 300 dives/year – 1.5 years
Transmitter:
• One 3V lithium battery: 1/2AA (K5546) and O-ring 2.00 mm x 2.00 mm (K5538)
• Battery storage time (shelf life): Up to three years
• Replacement: Every two years, or more often depending on dive activity
• Life expectancy at 20°C/68°F:
• 0 dives/y –> 3 years
• 100 dives/y –> 2 years
• 400 dives/y –> 1 year
The following conditions have an effect on the expected battery lifetime:
•
The length of the dives
•
The conditions in which the unit is operated and stored (e.g. temperature/cold
conditions). Below 10°C/50°Fthe expectedbattery lifetimeis about50-75% ofthat
at 20°C/68°F
•
The use of the backlight and audible alarms
•
The use of the compass
•
The quality of the battery. (Some lithium batteries may exhaust unexpectedly,
which cannot be tested in advance)
•
The time the dive computer has been stored until it gets to the customer. (The
battery is installed in the unit at the factory)
