DPV testing

[w ripley]

There is, of course, another way, and that is to use your DPV on a regular basis, keep your batteries charged/maintained, and pay attention to how she's running in the water. You basically know how long your battery should last, so go ahead and replace it/them at the start of the season you know it's going to go.

It's worked for me for the last 12 years.

I'm a bit late on the reply, but I thank you for the input Mr. Ripley.

I feel the same way as far as real world useful data goes, but I'm a nerd trying to learn more about the intricacies of my scooter and dive lights power supply and the efficiency factors. This is due to my other hobbies which includes RC Heli's, in which one can do as you stated and run it til she dies and keep track of runtimes. but as you can imagine, with a heli, you don't ever want to run a power source down, unless you like throwing money away. I do admit that I don't really need to know this information, but it in itself has kind of become a hobby. Deep down, I hope one day I can stike it rich by developing a super advanced power source for scooter, lights and rc heli's (like Deep Sea supply has done with their Dive X Lithium batteries)...

I hope you know that I'm just kidding, I would love to be that capable, but it'll never happen. That kind of wisdom is not learned via a web forum...

Thanks again for the input though, take it easy...
