Re: Cells....

I got all keen and mapped the Mv output of my cells for a while (I dont bother now).

I found they started out low then got higher and higher as they got older. My hammer head would often reject new cells. I soaked the cell in 02 over night then i managed to get it working in the HH next day.

I do this all the time now with new cells. I leave them in a bag of 02 for 24hours before I install them.

I have a cell from 2005 thats still chucking out 12mv and works fine. I only use it for testing stuff and its on the bench in between use not stored in a bag. It did 12months in my CCR first.


I had some cells that wouldn't calibrate in the HH even after a soak. The MV output was too low. These cells failed very quickly. One was found to be current limited on the first dive.

Martin Parker said it was the Hammer Heads fault and there was nothing wrong with the cell. This was rubbish because I got the same output readings on the Classic head.
