Suunto Vyper Battery change

Divevet · Nov 16, 2004

Hi,

Has anyone changed the battery in their Vyper (or Vytec) computer? and if so was it as straight forward as it sounds?

Computer is out of warranty and I resent paying a 1/3 of the price I paid for it to replace a £2 battery....

I have both changed the battery in my Vyper, and had it changed. Here the large chain dive shop (Sports Chalet) will change the battery for free while you watch if you buy the kit from them, which was about $12 USD.

A previous battery must have been bad and only lasted a few dives. That one a friend changed for me on the ferry on the way to Catalina Island. It is not hard, you just need to make sure the oring is intact and everything goes back in they way you took it out!

cheers!

I've got a Vyper, and changed the battery on the boat when I bent it. Very simple.

Buy a kit from www.scubastore.com (spain) so shipping will be quite cheap to UK...it have the battery and a new o´ring and cap....change it is quite easy..the only important thing is to be clean (carefully with hair and others debris)..and don´t use too much grease to lubricate the seal (just a little bit avoid a dry seal)...the rest is VERY easy....

Thanks for the replies - bought a battery and o-ring this afternoon (£4 not from a dive shop...) and fitted them in less than 10 mins.

Just need to get it wet now!!
