I said Id give AI cells a fair try (as Ive always use TD) and I did.

Verdict:- they are crap

I bought 3 cells, 1 failed within a day the rest failed within a few months. They were replaced with 3 new ones - they too all failed within a few months

verdict:- confirmed they are crap

I just ordered and recieved 3 TD from a reputable Rebreather manufacturer who told me they also tested AI cells to use in their product and their verdict was:- they are crap

so Im sticking to TD, which although not perfect and still have failures, ive never had this degree (ie 100% of 6 cells) fail

Personally I hate having to buy TD or AI cells - I wish there was a better alternative. Both Mnf apear totaly incapable (or unmotivated) to have good quality control, its just that from my experience TD quality control apears to be not quite as poor as AI -but still appalingly poor
