Computers with sealed battery compartments?

[scc135]

I know the Liquivision computers have sealed battery compartments, but do any of the other brands have that? It seems like too good an idea to NOT do. This coming from a guy who's flooding 2 computers.

I believe the Galileo Sol/Luna do.

I know the old Mares M2 was sealed, but it has been discontinued for a couple of years now. The ScubaPro 2G also has a sealed battery compartment, one advantage with the ScubaPro computers is they actually did something for the consumer. The ScubaPro computers use IRDA for download/upload instead of a proprietary connector that costs $100, I hope they continue this with there new line of computers when they come out in the "spring".

Right from SP yes they do.

Doesn't seem to be one in the low price range (4-600) huh?

The 2G fits right into that price range.

Right from SP yes they do.

I guess there are two definitions of 'sealed.'

Definition #1: The battery compartment cannot flood, because the battery is immersed in gel or oil
Definition #2: The battery compartment itself can flood (air filled) but flooding of the compartment cannot affect the rest of the computer

The Luna/Sol have a user changeable battery which satisfies #2.

The older Uwatec computers had batteries immersed in oil, which were not user changeable. The now obsolete/bankrupt Uemis computer also had a sealed battery. These both satisfy #1.

The X1 satisfies #1, the Xen/Xeo/Lynx satisfy #2.

The Atomic Cobalt has a sealed compartment by Eric's definition #2 above- the battery compartment is isolated from the rest of the electronics. Though for computers with rechargeable batteries that can be charged in situ, it's possible the compartment will never need to be opened.
