Specifically in a predator? I can see the voltage just not sure what the "replace when convenient" mV and "replace now!" mV might be.
Thanks

Mine is a predator extHi, rjack. For the Petrel 2 controller I dive with, I use 3.3 V as my minimum. I'll ask the engineers about the Predator on Monday. Is it for a KISS monitor?
Cheers
The Predator is notorious for warning of low battery early and often. I usually waited until it consistently warned for two or three dives. Very often it will go quite again and give you numerous additional hours.

Well its the primary ppO2 monitor on a CCR so I'm happy to replace it early
I have experienced this false warning too. It used to be a common issue back when the Predator first came out and people were spending a fortune on Saft batteries. That issue has basically been resolved with the help of Shearwater. It seems that those batteries sometimes need a bit to "wake up" if stored very long and also some of them were not very good from the beginning (yes brand new batteries that obviously were not very fresh). Many of us have built small load testers that we test each Saft prior to installation. this seems to have sorted my issues entirely. I just built one for my girlfriend a few weeks back when she began to have the same issue.The problem is that it will sometimes warn on a brand new cell. It is the biggest design flaw of the Predator. The Petel is so much better in this regard. I've had two Predator EXTs and now two Petrel2s in the family
