Suunto SME and SME/ML DIY battery change

[regrub king]

As I figured out lately, it seems to be the normal reactivating-procedure after long term low battery, and it should work again after decending it underneeth 6 feet under water.

Anyway, according to me, this sme thing does not meet actual standards and therefore it is not relyable, nowadays. So I am not willing to take sutch an old thing with me during my dives, it wouldn't be able to put me in a smooth mood, even it works as proper as it should.

Got a used GEKKO now.


If anybody wants to have it for allowance, just send me a personal massage.


cheers

i have 2 suunto sme-ml dive computers. i have the batteries, i have the o-rings, i have the battery pads, all i need is the silica gel capsules. i think it is a size 4 clear gel capsule, do you know where i can get the silica gel casules? this is active silica gel meaning it is blue & turns clear when it has asorbed moisture.

Absolutely no idea where to get those. Put them in a dehydrator for a few hours and they will recharge and be reusable.

I want to thank you for your input. I bought a inexpensive dehydrator put the temp on 122 degrees put the silica gel capsules on the top tray 4 hrs later it has turned back blue indicating all the moisture is gone. So I'm good to go. Thanks

OMG!!
Did I say “OMG!!”
I have/LOVE my SME ML R1 since the mid 80s!
I’d love to buy another if any of you want to depart with one. It’s an iron-clad workhorse from the days of steel 72 mounting plates with nylon webbing and horse-collar BCs with CO2 cartridges! Long-live the old stuff.
Let me know. I’m serious.
