if it came down to having to stay on the loop and the master keeps rebooting just flood the battery compartment, the water wount go anywhere else and you can clean it up after the dive..
Wow, that is a draconian solution.
I have the feeling that we are trying to find fixes, some more extreme than the other, for something that Kevin needs to solve.
Solutions:
- manual switch off
- proper battery management
- no solenoid test by the primary after reboot when submerged
- perhaps selection of battery type by the user
- a proper battery cap like the one used in the VR3
- move the deco calculations to the secondary, so when the primary reboots all deco info is not lost
There is another problem with the battery cap. Last time I replaced my battery I found lots of white powder on the threads. It wasn't salt or sand but corrosion, probably because the batery cap is SS and the housing is aluminium. It can be cleaned out but will not improve conduction. A VR3 like battery cap will solve this.
