Hi,
Since March, i have bought 5 new cells, 4 teledyne R22 and one AI.
All 4 teledyne have failed on me since then, the AI is doing well so far.
The last of the teledynes failed on me yesterday during a dive. Predive was perfect, got a 10.8 in ambient air and around 50 in O2(cant remember right now), at 40 meters S2 showed 2.9x (x variable), flushed the unit to see which sensors was ok, S1&S2 perfect, on the spot. Aborted the dive, as i was on 3 meters i saw S2 on -0.3x, i thought that was odd and by the time i surfaces it was showing 0.00. Well back at the diveshop i took the meg apart, let is stay for a while and then i turned on the displays to see the mv in ambient air, again spot on at 10.8, together with S1=10.9 and S3=10.6.
Very strange... I have talked to Teledyne and they said that they would send me replacement sensors for the first 3 ones i have changed.

Any ideas?
