premature or late trigger point of the low-battery warningīesides, any unauthorised modification or use of unapproved components (battery including) would void the warranty.failure, interruptions, or insufficient performance.During the production, we thoroughly test each AirBuddy with its battery(-ies) for over an hour using our “RoboDiver” – a device that simulates breathing of a diver and logs various data every second for the duration of the test.Īmong other problems, the use of a non-original battery could cause: We invested a significant time into R&D of the battery and the electronic circuitry and opted for a custom battery that meets all our criteria.
There are many criteria that the battery must meet, such as: voltage, max current load, discharge curve, overcurrent protection, temperature protection, charging current and cycle, physical dimensions, materials used, certifications, … etc. Unfortunately, you can’t use just any battery with AirBuddy. As a pre-caution, if possible, you should always do a safety stop at 5m (15 ft) for 3-5 minutes. NDL is the maximum allowable dive time at a specific depth that the scientists believe is safe enough to ascend from directly to the surface without decompression stops. Note: If you dive with AirBuddy more than twice in a row or with some residual nitrogen from previous diving, please use a dive computer or dive tables to make sure you don’t exceed the NDL (No Decompression Limit). To change the battery, simply remove (or just lower) the float, open the lid, disconnect the wires, replace the battery, reconnect the wires and close the lid again. AirBuddy comes with one battery included, but you can purchase additional batteries from our e-shop. For an additional dive with AirBuddy, you only need to carry a battery that weighs 2.9kg (6.4 lbs). Additional dives with SCUBA require additional tanks, hence some 17kg (37.5 lbs) extra weight for each tank to carry. Of course! This is one of the best features of AirBuddy. 2-09: Can I replace the battery and dive again? Take 4 seconds to breathe in and 4 seconds to breathe out. Note: Correct breathing is relaxed, taking in slow and deep breaths (as opposed to quick shallow breaths). holding the regulator’s purge button) for the first 45-50 seconds after you turn AirBuddy on. do not breathe (or otherwise release air by e.g. Note: It’s important to let AirBuddy fully pressurise at the beginning of your dive. water temperature (cold water shock, shiver, …).lung size (your body size, age, gender, …).fighting current or other demanding activity) Your diving depth depends on your personal air consumption (breathing rate X tidal volume), which in turn is influenced by various factors, such as: Experienced divers typically consume somewhere between 12-18 l/ min of air when diving in normal conditions (relaxed dive). In general, humans breathe between 6 l/min of air when relaxed to about 90 l/min during a very exhaustive exercise. Our rating is based on 24 l/min RMV (Respiratory Minute Volume). AirBuddy enables diving to a maximum depth of 12m (40 ft) with the single diver set-up or maximum 6m (20 ft) with the buddy diver set-up.
