APPENDIX
Why Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO
4
) batteries?
• LiFePO
4
have a higher energy density than other cells like Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH)
• LiFePO
4
cells experience a slower rate of capacity loss (aka greater
calendar-life) than other lithium-ion battery chemistries such as LiCoO
2
(cobalt oxide) or LiMn
2
O
4
(manganese spinel lithium-ion polymer
batteries).
• After one year on the shelf, a LiFePO
4
cell typically has approximately the
same energy density as a LiCoO
2
cell.
• Extended cycle life for both deep and shallow cycling.This means it does
not develop a memory if not fully discharged regularly or continuously ran
to zero.
• LiFePO
4
’s use of phosphates avoids cobalt’s environmental concerns,
particularly concerns about cobalt entering the environment through
improper disposal.
• Superior thermal and chemical stability. LiFePO
4
provides better safety
characteristics than lithium-ion batteries. Due to significantly stronger
bonds between the oxygen atoms in the phosphate (compared to the
cobalt), oxygen is not readily released, and as a result, lithium iron
phosphate cells are less likely to catch on fire or explode during charge or
discharge, and being exposed to salt water.
O-ring Care and Maintenance
• Check O-rings before each dive.
• Check that all O-rings are present and show no signs of wear and tear.
• O-rings should be replaced once a year or when any sign of wear and tear
are seen.
• O-ring lubrication should be done every few dives to increase the life of
the O-rings and reduce the opportunity for leaks.
• Use silicone grease to lubricate the O-rings.
• When replacing O-rings, please follow images below to match up O-ring
size and location.
• Remember when installing new O-rings to lubricate them and DO NOT
use any kind of tool that could damage the O-ring during installation.
