Shearwater Research Make Petrel/NERD Battery Cap Improvements
Canada-based dive computer manufacturer Shearwater Research has made improvements to the battery cap which fits the NERD and all versions of Petrels including DiveCAN controllers.
To improve the sealing performance and O-ring life span, the battery compartment O-ring gland design has been changed from a crushed gland to a radial gland. Identification of the new radial cap can be made by observing the differences in the following table:
- The original battery cap is 21021
- The new cap with blue o-ring is 21021-01
The cases which take the new cap will be engraved RC under the strap.
The new caps cannot be installed on old units.
If you would like to order replacement or spare battery caps contact your local Shearwater Dealer. A map of all Shearwater Dealers can be found by clicking here.
