Currently grounded.

Spare Teledyne R22D, 12 months on shelf, dies after 1 dive.

Your new cells are out of customs, should be getting them any day now...

Thanks for the encouragement, and great service.

Today is last working day before a long weekend. Chances are slim but always hoping. Customs work must be real hard (7 whole days to process a package of 3 cells).

You guys up there, it happens all the time! Just last weekend, going to use my KISS for the first time in 2 months, and 1 cell fails on calibration. Lucky it was a shallow dive at Bare Island!

I grabbed a 'slightly' used one to replace it and the KISS is back in business!

Tell you what, on inspecting the failed cell, I am a bit peeved they didn't make cells to last in 2004!

Hi Guys

Here I am putting my Cell mV readings into spreadsheet and forming this graph in anticipation of predicting when a cell will fail and which one, but every time I read this thread, I am wondering whether I should even bother.

Hoping you all get your stuff sorted.
