Love my Petrel! Found my first unexpected results.
BACKGROUND: Bought it new about 18 months to 2 years ago, with the VPM (FWIW).
Was diving it over the Memorial Day 2014 weekend, when it announced (via text across the bottom) that the battery was low. Pressed "confirm".
Oddly, the battery icon was showing full and blue. ????
This continued happening throughout the weekend. One time it actually shut down on me. (After the dives, was trying to do log book.)
(Yeah, I thought I had a spare battery.)
Basically, over six dives, it held the readings, but I didn't touch it until I got home to change the batter. To the end, it was showing the "batt full" icon.
All dives were showing Battery Low Init. (had backup computer, so I kept wearing it.)
SWAG: The battery definitely died, with a total of ~40 dives on it. The Petrel icon was reporting incorrectly. It has the latest firmware, IIRC.
Have you heard of this?
