I started a cave dive yesterday with my Petrel 1 with the battery icon showing 50%. I did not look at the voltage. I had an Energizer Ultimate Lithium battery in it, and the computer was set for that battery.
Moments after getting into the water the computer went blank. Would not restart. Got it home and replaced the battery and it works just fine now.
Seems odd the battery icon showed 50% & died within a few minutes.
Anyone else experienced this issue?
Luckily I had my Perdix AI on also. it worked just fine so we could make the dive.
