markbaur 0 #5 February 26, 2003 QuoteI have a Digitude that has been going nuts and reading wrong altitudes. First think to check is the battery. Duracells work; Energizers don't. Something about slightly different contact surfaces. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alain 0 #6 February 26, 2003 mark> Duracells work; Energizers don't good point !!! last time I used mine it was running on enrgizers: sometimes it would not turn on, some times switch off without warning then I bought a needle alti... i'm gona try the digitude with the right batteries and check it out! (the digitude is good for night jumps, when it works) AL1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keskeie 0 #8 February 26, 2003 Very true on the batteries..... Mine started giving me junk in the cold (well, L.A. cold) mornings. I thought there was moisture in it or something...because it would work eventually when we got up a few thousand feet. Anyways, I put a new duracell in it and it was back to normal.We were never feeling bored because we were never being boring. -Zelda Fitzgerald Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #9 February 26, 2003 I use the energizer photo lithium batteries in mine and have never had an issue. They also last a really really long time and arn't affected by cold like other batteries. (these are the same AA batteries I use in my digital camera when snowboarding)Fly it like you stole it!

markbaur 0 #10 February 26, 2003 Quote<> Interesting... how was this information found? Short answer: info from the manufacturer. Long answer: About a year ago, my Digitude showed erratic readings: rapid changes in indicated altitude, display blanking, stuff like that. I sent it back to the manufacturer. He sent it back with a note saying it chambered okay -- the problem was shape of the contacts on the Energizer I'd installed, and I should switch back to a Duracell. I did, and haven't had a problem since. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cloud9 0 #11 February 27, 2003 I sent mine in, they put a new case and a new LED and checked calibration. All for about $30 bucks. It came back like new! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
