Not bad! How much did it set you back including P & P?

I was in Wittering Divers the other week and mentioned my Stinger battery was on the way out. They changed it while I waited for £40, including a pressure test. I've since dived it several times and it's been fine, so big up to WD! I know the Suunto pressure test is quite lengthy (and you can always check by looking at the log) but I'm not sure it's necessary(?)

Always good to read good service reports. Maybe we should have a sticky thread somewhere where all the good reports are posted together as a recommendations page ?

Does Suunto change batteries directly? I thought they get you to use a dealer instead?

I had the batteries changed for my Cobra last year with Simply Scuba. If I remeber correctly it set me back some £25, but I was at the shop so no P&P.

You can buy the battery and change it yourself on a Cobra.
If you ask nicely you can send directly to Suunto.

Sorry to put a bit of a downer on it but you can change batterys on Cobra's your self. Maplins sell them for about £3 and its dead easy to change it even tells you how in the user manual. Even if you do screw up the battery compartment is seperate from the rest of the computer so it only that that gets flooded.

My Mossies simple to do £5 at the LDS gets you a new battery O ring (Pre-Greased) & compartment lid, bish bash bosh done, As mentioned above the battery compartments sealed from the electronics so anything goes wrong & its only the battery gets trashed

On a Stinger?
It's a very different battery change than the Vyper/Vytec/Cobra (I know - had a Cobra now have a Vytec!) Changed the battery on my Vytec for £8! inc. new O ring!
Stinger got sent away...
