My Oci is Trying To Have Fun With Me

[Fedaykin]

Yep, my oci is having a very good day while mocking with me but i am not sure what to do. After my last dive it gave an alarm as "Low Battery". I got pissed as it is the 21st dive with just 10 hours underwater. When i run the check battery/tmt it said "OCi Batt Good" . Than I said ok, there might be a mistake. 5 minutes later it again said battery low. I looked again to battery status and whola "Battery Good". Next day when i entered to setup menu battery low sign showed up again but disappeared a few seconds later. Now I'm not sure what to do.

1-) If battery is good why did it said battery is low?
2-) How can i be sure that the battery will not die in the middle of next dive.
3-) If battery is low why is it keeping on saying battery good when i run battery/tmt
4-) If battery is low, how can this happen just in 2 months and 21 dives with 10 hours of dive time.

Bulent

I gave my oci back to the dealer that I have bought. They said there is a problem with the battery and changed it under guaranty. Seems to be a shelf life problem.

My dive computer's battery showed a "low battery" warning after just 2 dives! I was confused and checked it a couple more times. The next time, it said "battery good," but then I got a low battery warning again.

I bought the computer online; it's an older model and it had probably just been sitting on the shelf a while before I bought it. I got the battery replaced and have about 75 dives on it since, with no further issues.

Hope your issue is resolved, too.
