I understood all your other reasons, all very logical, until the above. What do you mean replace Teric battery, it has a lifespan of 5 years before it should need to be replaced.

For the fact that everyone is praising Shearwater's computers and service, topics like these make me doubting very much whether I should buy one... Being not in Canada or in the States would leave me without my computer for way too long if I belong to the almost-50%-group that needed to return it
I fully charged my new Teric on 4/4 and I have been monitoring the battery percentage. It stayed at 100% up until 4/20 when it dropped to 96%. It is still at 96% today (4/24).
I have not turned the screen on except for a couple of seconds to check the battery level.
Does this seem normal?
Hi @stuartvThey had a bunch of bad batteries from their supplier early on. I think they are well past that, now. I don't know of any other significant issues that people have had (as in, significant #s - every computer manufacturer will occasionally turn out something with a defect).
Most of the information available is in anecdotal reports of problems, few people report their positive experiences. This is the only data I know of, making an attempt at generating a numerator and denominator. Are you aware of better information?Only 79 terics out in the wild, quite a large sample to decide on what to buy, probably should buy from a company that has a better reputation...
