Suunto D6 battery change "How To"

[Taurash]

I bought a CR2450 battery that I thought is the good one.
when I opened the pack inside I found the bad shape one.
I tryed to fit it on the D6 but it doesn't work at all.
What I bought it is a CR2450 from Varta and inside I found a DL2450 from Duracell. I hope the next one will be the luckyer.

Hi, I changed my D6 battery easy enough and the watch works just fine. But as soon as I get it wet, it goes into dive mode and starts screaming at me to come up coz I'm apparently in 100+metres of water! When I push the back on, I can feel the pressure in there, like the back wants to pop back out again. So I suspect that needs to be bled to bring it back to ambient pressure. Has anyone else had this, and how do I fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Peter

In relation to the Phillips screwdriver do you know what size is best used?

is it a #0-2 , #0-1 or #0?"

I know its an old thread.
But I have a question that slightly out of topic.

My D6i finally need a battery change after 140 log. this is the first time battery change from brand new. I guess its not consider as heavy use either.

I just found out his thread, so I already send my D6i to LDS to change the battery. The problem arise when the technician said that my D6i case had rusted in the o ring groove on its back plate.

yes its confused me how can a steel case of D6i get rusted.

Another problem is, where can i get a back plate or back case of D6i??

Thanks,
