Right then, thats what I always do, take an idea for an field expedient temporary fix, then make it my normal routine, then find the cheapest batteries to use for it.

And we wonder why there are Darwin Awards.....sheeze!

ITS A TEMPORARY FIX, SAVE A DIVE, USE ONLY WHEN ABSOLUTLY NECESSARY TECNIQUE PEOPLE!

5-AA battery packs or 2-C 3.6v lithiums are the recommended battery packs for the Meg Apecs system. They give 3-6 month, or 6-12 month service, are easy to make, easy to order (from ISC) and the prudent diver will have extras on hand, aleviating the need for temporary fixes.

Hey Ron,

pricing was not the main factor to decide on this. it was just that i thought there maybe less failure points. instead of connecting 5 together, you have one single battery. if it works fine, and it last a bit, then why not?

What do you think on that?
