2017: 1st. part, SNAFU

Heinrichs Weikamp OSTC3
after only 71 dives
up ca. 120 m max.
and with the regular "drop test" during standard TEC dives
and 3 x repair by the manufacturer
here the LCD Display:
irreparable
and this is why: away with it to the DIVE COMPUTER MUSEUM with all the other junk:
materials: from Mario A., once a TEC Student @ ALBI, now a TEC instructor
RATIO iX3M Deep
after update to APOS 4:
dry dive on the desk!
during the night, this gadget switched itself on!
there was really no water in the office, i swear!!!
so the NDLs are far out in the left field!
and, as well, very obvious: the compartment saturation:
power off was not possible
so only one thing helped: "battery run-down":
with the values form the above 3 photos for the battery capacity:
44 %/541 min; 72 %/907 min; 81 %/1022 min;
i.e.: 4,9 --> 4,75 % / h run time
there is a maximal battery run time for 100 % of regularly ca. 20 - max. 25 h.
plain text: the power management of the APOS 4 reaches at the lowest border the specs,
which are 20 to 50 h (!) according to the manuals.
