I've used the same 3.6v lithium battery for 11 months and a shitload of dives. They cost a bit of money, but are well worth it in my opinion.

I've just replaced the battery with an Energeriser Lithium battery and now the front screen displays an altitude of minus 313 metres - ummmmmmm, I'm sure this is incorrect. Is this usual ? The unit seems to be working normally otherwise - will it reset itself shortly ?

Thanks,.

Think that's to do with air pressure. 1000mbar is 0m equivalent. So high atmospheric pressure gives a negative altitude.

Probably wrong about this...

DeltaP said that it was normal to do this as it is designed specifically for depth pressure cf. atmospheric pressure - it certainly worked ok and tallied with other computers.

I just ordered a 3.6V lithium AA from BatteryForce at the sum of £5.49 plus £1.04 postage - it was posted the same day, I phoned in the order, told them I was recommended and got an instant 5% discount (on the battery), plus when it arrived the following day, it came with a chocolate and a personal 5% discount on all future purchases! Can't say fairer than that!
Definitely be using them again for batteries!

Temperature Graphs

I cannot get the temperature graph to work on my VR£.
The dive graph is fine but the quick push on both just gives a flat line around zero.
I'm using it in OC and Xfunc is set to off.

All other functions are fine

Am I missing something or is it knacked?

Cheers all.
