The two Petrel's and a Perdix were looking just fine with Energizer Lithiums installed. Each were at 1.6 to 1.7 volts, so over 100% the rated 1.5 volts. The Teric was at 0%. My unit had one of the bad batteries when I bought it, and it's been replaced/serviced twice. It does still drain more than it ought to, maybe 2-3% a day instead of the expected 1% or less. But it powered on when I put it on the charger, so it's probably ok. The heated vest batteries needed a charge too.
I broke my fibula just above the ankle. The bone should be getting near 90% but the soft tissues are still sore and swollen if I use it a lot. PT and exercises have mostly restored my balance and leg strength, but the ankle is still not as strong as the uninjured one.
I plan to go boat diving after Thanksgiving in just about 2 weeks. If that goes well and the doctor clears me, I can try a shore dive (hiking to a beach with >100 pounds of gear) in December or January.
