Battery voltage

toe · 12th April 2008, 18:41

Hi all

Looking for some input. My vision has 3.5 dive hours and seems to be eating batterys. Placed new Energizers c1 and c2 today. Both seem to drop to two bars and looking at the log viewer c1 is running at 4.97v and c2 at 5.44v. My friends evo same age is fine and running on all three bars with batterys from new.

Second change of battery from new. Changed because of battery warning.

Any ideas please.

Thanks

Tony

Obviously speak to AP to get definitive answer. However, have you the latest software installed using the latest version of communicator?

Try turning off each controller in turn as a possible short term fix. I had same problem and turned out to be faulty diode - fixed FOC by AP.

Have a listen to the alarm, is there a high pitched sound coming from it - very quiet - when it's turned off.

After all that, it could just be a duff batch of batteries.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that.

Have latest software etc, Also batterys are from different batches and tested.

Will give AP shout. Now time to run and listen to my buzzer!

Cheers

Check your line pressure .. mine was eating batteries like they were cheese burgers ..

Once I got my pressure down on the LP, to what it should be, everything is working fine, I get 10 dives on a battery down 1-2 bars.

Hope all is well, good luck.
