first tests on new batch AI

paulraymaekers · 20th November 2007, 15:15

Hello all, just that you know

I recieved a first batch of the new/replacement cells from AI on monday.

After 3 dives in the pressure pot according to our test procedure, none of the 20 we got showed any decrease in output (only one cell a bit high from the start, but stable) (so no DOA, all cells exept one between 10 and 13.5 mV in air)

So it seems AI did find the error and improve something

We continue the test

regards

paul

What results did the previous batch give?

What results did the previous batch give?

floating behaviour between different dives (higher variation on output voltage), low on opening plastic bag, or going too low after 2/3 dives (so no more possible to calibrate) (on a number of cells out of a batch (not on all cells ofcourse :-))

I dove three of the new ones for over two hours at 70 - 80 feet. They worked fine.
