Inspo Vision Batteries

Hi all,

Has anyone experienced low battery life with Panasonic's?

I have recently experienced the above lasting about 5-6 hours. Generally replacing them when the are hitting the 2 bars on the handset. Yesterday at Stoney however it hit 2 bars during the dive, then failed to boot up the unit for the second dive (i.e. total battery failure).

Just replaced it with a new one today and everythings perfect.

It seems as though these batteries are not only lasting much less than expected but they are failing dramatically rather than gradually as I have experienced in the past.

Note: previously I have used Fujitsu's, which I may end up going back to.

Any experiences??

Cheers

I have been using panasonics in my vision for the last 12 months with no probs. I replace mine when on start up(batt self test) it displays C1 with 2 bars left. As i know during the dive on asscents it will drop to 1 bar and give me battery warnings.

I use B2 into B1 and fresh battery into B2 method, so i get about 8hrs as B2 (slave) and 8hrs as master B1 out of a battery.
