The VR3: Extensive Questions & Answers.

[jptaylor9]

Duracell Alkaline AA Pack 4 MN1500
Powerful and long lasting Duracell battery. Ideal for use in calculators

Duracell Ultra AA Pack 4 MN1500
The most powerful Duracell battery. Meets demands of high drain technology. Designed specifically for high tech appliances with 50 % more life. For use in digital cameras, mini discs, camcorders and mobile phones

Don't think the VR3 needs the Ultra version... the basic ones are more suitable.

I was also getting through batteries way too often but took my VR3 to DeltaP at the dive show in March. They said it was down to the switches being sticky and fixed it foc. No probs since.

Hi,

My VR3 is only a few months old + I only get 4-5 dives per battery, I am scared to use the games while diving in case the battery goes flat !!


I use Lithium batterys from Argos. I have tried to buy a 3.5v lithium but no-one has ever heard of them.


Does anyone know where I could get some ?


Thanks in advance.

On mine I checked the switches and even cleaned them and used some WD40 as well but nothing changed till now. Maybe the way foward would be to change the battery make as well!

If buttons are sticky do you see your VR3 switching on and off as I think this can be easily seen, as I never say it on by itself or find logged dives that were never done!

See as there is a ruck of threads on this one piece of kit, I've merged all of them for easr of viewing.

Just noticed that Pierre's battery appears to have one of those check the voltage strips in. You want to avoid using these in any underwater electronics. Increased ambient pressure could operate the indicator causing a voltage drop. The indicator can be disabled by cutting through it with a knife.

The 3.6V AA lithium is available from photographic outlets or direct from DeltaP. Try 7dayshop

Just a thought
