Icemann 0 #1 March 2, 2017 Just bought STELLA electronic analog altimeter with a spare battery. Didn't do much research though. I suppose batteries are only for the nightjump lights? (It says the light could be left on for 2 continuous hours.) Or function of this analog alti itself based entirely on battery power? Also how long would it last before I have to change the battery? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DougH 270 #2 March 2, 2017 My Altitrack battery lasts me a whole season or more. And guess what, that has no bearing on your completely different altimeter. If you are going to try to get us to spoon feed you information like a baby bird at least give us a more specific title to your thread, and maybe try adding some structure to your actual question.

I'm not familiar with a Stella altimeter.

If it does store any info then you might want to keep a spare battery and tools to change it in your kit. That way you can change the battery (hopefully, I haven't seen a Stella) before losing the stored info the way I do on my Neptune 2.

It is a digital alti with an analogue face. Same as the AltiTrack. Don't ignore a low battery warning thinking it is only an issue for a night jump From L&B website QuoteSTELLA™ gives every skydiver digital accuracy with an analog face (ft or M), using LB Altimeters’ world renowned research, development and engineering, a small, accurate and versatile altimeter for any discipline. STELLA™ is far more accurate than any traditional mechanical altimeter, STELLA™ is the “must have” altimeter.
