Update from Shearwater: Battery Contact Issues on Petrel 1
Upon conducting a root cause analysis, we suspected that the issue most likely stemmed from an issue with the battery contacts. This problem can result in lower-than-expected battery life or, in some cases, the computer resetting underwater. We then changed to using full gold plating on all contacts in January 2014. Zero problems have been reported on gold-plated units, confirming our suspicions.
