There is a design fault in the switch that allows the magnet to fall out causing loss of power

Didnt Gilles report that the magnets can move out ....and if it does it will cause loss of power. So whats 'No' about that?
If the design allows the magnet to move out then its clearly a flawed design. If the glue is known to fail - dont use glue! design a glue free holder If users are breaking the magnet out through normal use, if you are aware of the potential for users to break it out during use then so is the mnf. isnt it better to fix the potential problem at source and make the design more robust?

Both secondary and life supporting primary have same design fault in their switch (seeing as both switches are same design)

No
In the meg design both primary and secondary battery boxes are the same - Ergo both share the potential for loss of power due to the way the magnets are held, so whats 'No' about that?

Hmmm, to me thats a little more than a 'little problem'

I regard potential fault that turns off my life support system without warning as a serious fault - but maybe im just yella

if one can fall out then both can fall out....if on the same dive it might be deadly at worse or mean you cant see any ppo2 display at best

Both battery boxes are same design Ergo if one can fail in this way so can the other and if primary falls out and you dont realise it could be deadly, so whats 'No' about that?
