Mike, they are paying you far too much to enjoy yourself on that gin palace!!! I guess I'll go with a 3.6v Lithium battery to see what difference that makes. Don't care what it costs just wish they were the stated prefferred battery. (probably wouldn't have had to ask all this then!) Must admit that taking the battery out between dives and losing stored gasses and logged dives sucks, just how much is running behind the scenes, a clock? how big a drain can it be?

Yeah, clock and anything in volatile memory. I have pretty good life out of my batteries as I said on both my VR3s they just chug along happily no probs. Keep a log on your batteries and lets' compare notes.
