The batteries, while easy to get and make, are a PITA when you think about other units where you just pop in a single AA before each dive. No soldering or constant ordering. Small thing IMHO, but I own a box of them to start with.

i've herd the patteries are a pain but you cant have your cake and eat it too. im a hands on tipe of guy so a little soderign would not be bad at all. i would enjoy the pride of diving my own work.
