In my Aladin TEC manual it says that I should always change the o-ring when I change the battery. Who does this? Everyone? No one?

It's ok for me to change the o-ring at the same time, but then Uwatec should probably explain where the f... I can buy such an "special" teflon coated o-ring. Uwatec list a part number for battery kit with matching o-ring in their manuak. I get a total of 4 hits.

Should I just forget about buying a batteri and o-ring, and just hope to find one where I'm diving at that moment? My current battery and o-ring works fine, but I just wanted something in backup, just in case.

Since the warranty doesn't cover leaks due to a wrong battery replacement and/or o-ring, I guess I should be a bit carefull about using a different o-ring. I've seen cameras been flooded, it's not very fun.
