Re: AI cells in the Meg

The AI's that failed in my unit showed slow acceptable decay in mV, but then just took a crap all of a sudden. One started very strong and died in 4 dives.
I used Teledyne cells only so far in my Kiss'ed Azimuth, my CK and my Meg. What you described also happened to me with Tele cells. Once in a while there's a bad batch. But it's true that lately AIs had a rather large bad batch. I'm using one AI on my Meg right now along with 2 Tele's precisely because one Tele became slow and limited to 37mV in O2 from one dive to the next (afternoon and next day morning) and my HH won't calibrate. I had 3 spare AI's in the box so I put what I had on hand. It's true that I can see that this AI is a bit slower than the 2 Tele's to react but so far it's not mV limited.
But that comes from a rather limited experience of a few hours only with AI cells.
