Heres a good one...I used my VR3 on wednesday night for a night dive at Stoney...colour screen with the 3.6 lithium battery in it. It read 3 volts on the start up screen and in I went and did an hour..

Today...I'm at a lake doing a wildlife trust clear up dive with the club... put the VR3 on and it won't even fire up...its as dead as a Dodo.

Put a new lithium battery in it and off it goes, no problem, but I had to reset the date and time so obviously the battery had comletely died. I've never come across a super quick dump like this before....

has anyone else...?

Thing is the Lithium batteries do not discharge linearlly they hold their charge at 3.6v for a fair while then drop off really quickly. 2.8v is when you are supposed to the change the battery. The things that eat the battery are colour screen on all the time, messing with it like a new toy when you first get it, erm I mean trying to enter your name correctly without changing the last digit or is then when entering the pin etc, etc

Ive got a colour one and have it set so the light is on all the time, Ive changed the battery about two or three times in 100 dives.

Was talking to a senior engineer from SAFT last year. He said battery monitors on lithium cell were a waste of time. The discharge curve is so flat and that you couldn't tell anything useful about the state of charge from the voltage.

Another silly question...


Somehow I've managed to turn the display by 90 degrees and no matter where I try looking in the menus I can't work out how to get it back the right way round.

Sell it

Seriously though I couldn't get on with mine at all, everytime i tried to do something with it underwater the screen went 180 degrees. I sold if after months of it pissing me off. I was using it as a backup to the Vision but the vision uses gradient factors so I'm having a Shearwater as it's simple to use and uses GF.

Time to dive.

Long hold on both switches will rotate the screen 180 deg at a time.
