I bought a Petrel 2 last month and now have 16 dives plus a little over 17 hours logged on it when the battery warning came on yesterday during the dive, I was rather surprised as I was expecting around 35 hours according to the FAQ on the Shearwater website.
Okay I have been playing with it a lot initially just to understand how it works etc., but not for long hours. It did have the original battery in it, so I am not sure how long it was installed.
Anyway I have installed a new Energizer Max AA, and will see if it lasts as it says "on the box"
IMHO Duracells suck as I have had many "new" dead ones, not just here in the Middle East but in UK too, I don't trust them anymore.
