I really expected these problems to be of the past. Perhaps it's time to seriously investigate the use of external battery packs as standard via a fischer or wet connector. Kevin already mentioned two or three posts back that it can be done rather easily.
An external rechargeable battery pack like the one we use for umbilical torches with plenty of capacity and the small internal batteries as backup.
IMO that would solve these ongoing battery problems with the HH.
Or a battery of larger capacity inside the head in a sealed chamber.
My battery in my watch isn't soldered. Or Cochran dive computers. And no problems.
How about build the computer with a large enough capacitor to function if it intermitently looses power. And saves all data. So, when it comes back up it's still tracking? You just loose the display and the solenoid.
Good failsafe I'd think.
