That could be it... I downloaded from teric #1 when I got back from the trip so the timing checks out.

It will also reset tissues if you update the firmware FYI
Yup..that was it. I looked back and realized I had one on v22 and other on v23 and fixed that right after I got back (right after I downloaded it). At least one mystery solved..It will also reset tissues if you update the firmware FYI

I "accidentally" did this on my last trip but luckily it happened to coincide with 48+ hours out of the water.Yup..that was it. I looked back and realized I had one on v22 and other on v23 and fixed that right after I got back (right after I downloaded it). At least one mystery solved..
Sadly I think Teric v2 is now going to be headed back to Richard and Michele for its lacklustre battery performance
. It sucks, because it worked flawlessly otherwise!

This wasn't an update but normal dive downloading.
Not looking good for teric #1. Emailing them today.

I've had Teric #7 for about 5 months now. Initially, it sat idle for about 4 months while I recovered from a broken leg. For that entire time, it only consumed about 0.3% of battery charge per day.
About a month ago I went down to Florida and dived it for 5 days. After 10 dives, just under 10 hours of diving, the battery was down to 34%. After recharging, it is now at 96% at 20 days. I'm leaving for Malpelo tomorrow and will put it to work with about 21 dives over 7 days.
I'm hoping #7 will be my perfect Teric.

Unfortunately, not to be. I just finished my trip to Malpelo. The Teric worked perfectly the first 11 dives. On Dive 12, I glanced down and had the comms error on my Teric while my trusty Oceanic VT3 was giving me my cylinder pressure. When I got back to the RHIB, I confirmed the antenna failure by linking in direct contact with the transmitter and losing the link a few inches away.
I will contact my friends Richard and Michele at Dive-Tronix when I get home from Colombia
Wow - you have had bad luck, but all of this confirms that the Teric still has ongoing issues. I can’t imagine Shearwater is proud with the reliability of this DC - I’d expect a Teric 2 with a redesign to solve these issues to come in the next yearUnfortunately, not to be.

My last battery fix (the 3rd “fix”!) seems to have largely done the trick - but the more I use it, the less the battery holds charge well over longer storage. It’s fine over a typical dive trip as I can recharge as needed at night.
BTW - how was Malpelo this time - your second trip there, right?
