Can you change dive computer battery yourself?

[EireDiver606]

Hi guys my computers battery is after dying. I got it second hand and it came with a factory warranty card.

Stupid question I know.

This is the first time this happened.

I’m just wondering can I take out the battery myself? Without buying a technician set of tools or do I have to bring it to my LDS and pay to get it changed?

Thanks

depends on the computer. Many you can easily change it yourself.
Post the model and we can see

Personally, would download the manual for the computer

If you are changing it, have a good look at the Oring and if there is any damage (cracking, tears etc) replace it. If it is intact, give it a light smear with silicone lube before reinstalling.

I brought my Zoop to a dive shop with my reg and had both refreshed at the same time. No need to send it to the factory.

Zoops have user changeable batteries. I bought a battery + oring set from Smartinterface – Your online shop for dive related accessories when I bought the cable.

The Zoop has 3 buttons on the front, the Zoop Novo has 4. But the battery and oring are the same between the models.

my wife had a zoop. when the battery died, you need to change the o-ring along with the battery according to the instructions. unfortunately, the dive shop did not have the o-ring, and ended up buying a mares computer on the spot. i would suggest you get a couple extra batteries and o-rings for it.
