Re: Lithium 9v battery?

Hi Toren,

Sounds to me like this idea should be filed under the heading: Probably will work but not terribly smart.

I consider it fairly unlikely that the electronics cap will flood on the prism. However, should it ever do so in the ocean, and should there be a Li - ion battery in there it would short-circuit, rapidly discharge, overheat and possibly even ignite...all not very nice for the continued integrity of your unit and your diving pleasure.

Not worth the proverbial 50cent part in my book.

Cheers
Andrew
