Teric dead?

[CuzzA]

@CuzzA it works fine with a flat charger. When I first bought mine there was even a spec somewhere of which flat chargers they had tried it with. I bought a Choetech T511 from Amazon for a few bucks at the time; that's what I take on trips.

Yes. I have a flat water proof charger. I'm just saying I think that should be the standard that comes with the Teric instead of having to buy an after market charger.

In my defence, I put my charger in a back room because the light bugs me at night, then forgot about it. Between 2 knee surgeries and covid I haven't been diving as much as I'd like

That flashing light is super annoying as well.

My experience with other lithium-based batteries is that storage near 50% is best. I charge mine to 65% and let it drop to 35%. I charge every 2 months to bring it back up (unless I go diving). Takes about 30 minutes on the stock charger.

My ToDo app helps me remember such things.

I’d be lost without it.

I feel like we have become a slave to the care and feeding of our lithium powered devices. Besides the Teric I have a smart watch, an ipad, an Android pad, two primary dive lights, 2 secondary dive lights, two cell phones and until recently a rebreather that all needed to be plugged in and unplugged according to their own charging schedule. If this technology is so smart why can't chargers maintain a 50% charge while at rest then go to 100% just when you need them?

I think most lithium and LiPo batteries do just that - remain at 50-60% for many months and up to a year.
Thats how they should be stored long term (up to a year).

Some manufacturers like DJI drones include a motherboard that discharges a battery down to storage-levels.

Well done @CuzzA How much are you going to charge the OP for such good advice?
