Question for Peregrine owners

[RIHappyDiver]

From the Peregrine users manual:

Battery Care
Lithium-ion batteries, such as the one in the Peregrine, can be damaged if completely discharged. The Peregrine has internal protection which disconnects the battery before complete discharge occurs. However, a small amount of self-discharge still occurs, which can lead to complete discharge and subsequent battery damage if stored for long periods without recharging.

To prevent damage to the battery please do the following:
1) Charge the Peregrine to 100% prior to storage
2) Top up the Peregrine battery every 3 months

Hope that helps with the question regarding charging between uses.

You keep saying this.
Where are you reading this information?

It was either on a post on scuba board or in one of the shearwater fb groups. I read it when doing research several days ago.

we have 2 and they've been completely flawless. Great computers, and we love supporting a Canadian company.

You may be confusing the Teric and its battery problems with the Peregrine.

If you can swing it, my recomendation of the Perdix stands.

Buying a computer that I enjoy workin with, has been the greatest gear decision yet. I went with the Terric, so I could simply wear it, during travel. No worries of theft from luggage.

Sometimes you have to pay up to get what you really want. I didnt want to spend $1300 either.

I just bought a Peregrine, it is excellent, with great visibility of the screen, the navigation through the menus is user friendly.

I love my peregrines, had one for almost 2 years and the other about a year. Never had an issue with battery life, still lasting 50+ dives over a few months between charges. Can't help with the discharge over time part, I am in the water usually 2-3 times per month year around. Can't recommend the peregrine enough, unless you want to splurge on the more expensive perdix for the removable battery.
