UWATEC Aladin Prime

[hbh2oguard]

Does anyone have this computer or has heard anything about problems with the battery life. Mine is a little over a year old and the first (origional) battery lasted 6-8 months. Second battery lasted 3 weeks. Third battery lasted 5 dives. Replaced the battery for the fourth time today and I'll see how long it lasts. I know it's not the battery so I'm thinking it has a short or something and is frying or draining the batteries. Any help???

Hi
This is a known problem with a batch of Aladin Prime computers. Take it back to an authorised dealer, explain the problem and they should send it back to the manufacturers, who in turn should replace the computer.

I know of three people, including myself, who have had this problem and have got a replacement computer from uwatec.

Hope this helps

Took it in and should be getting a new one, only problem I was told it could take from a week up to a month. Better break out the dive tables

If you purchased it at your LDS and it being repaired, they should give you a loaner unit. If not I guess you could rent one, or go back to playing with the tables. If you do go back to the tables, at least you will get the practice in.
