| Re: Sensor life, replacement?
Heat and impact seem to permanently damage cells. Moisture seems to affect cells on a short-term basis.
On a dive trip, I don't think it matters when you dry them, as long as they dry out before the next use. The amount of drying time? I guess that depends on usage and how much moisture they are exposed to over a period of time.
So if you can't let them air-out prior to packing your gear, dry them out when you get home.
Jill Heinerth has a theory that you'll get more long-term life by letting them dry out over several days, and she keeps 2 sets of cells in a weekly rotation.
Some cells seem to be more resistant than others to moisture. |
