So excited for my first diy battery change. I booked a last minute flight to dahab, and ofc my suunto is dead- luckily i managed to order a kit that arrives in 24h. Thank you for this video

No problem! Hope the battery change goes smooth for you as well, and all the best with your training in dahab!

How do shops get away with charging so much for this? Just bought my first computer, a D4i Novo and glad I found this video, cheers!

I know! It's crazy for a 10 minute job and a $10 new battery & oring kit! Happy to hear you are saving money and doing it yourself 🤙

Serious shops would add a pressure test to make sure it is sealed 100%. But yes, it's expensive...

These are the same steps for all Suunto D4 series computers, with minor differences being the screw types, and lining up the back of the case. Most dive computers have very similar steps, so these same steps will likely work on other computers too. For those curious about free diving and breath holding, here are my tips for beginners: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHOZY4Sma76kqJI

What size Torx.... I have one too big and another too small. Don't want to have to buy a full set of Torx for such a small job.

Many thanks, could you please share the link of this kit which includes the grease to avoid any miss order 🙏

Instead of that type of grease, can you use Molykote 33 light ?

love your video. I have a question, do you need to pressurize the watch to like 6 bars when the battery is changed?
@androopr2 жыл бұрын
Great thoughtful question! This particular dive computer does not need to be pressurized because there is such little remaining room for air spaces that will compress under pressure. It relies on the oring seal to keep the water out

Excellent video, I have a question I bought this one model used before by another person yesterday and it is impossible for me delete the old history log of dives, today seeing your video I remove the battery with the hope that if I leave the computer for one day without battery the logs will be removed what do you think? do you know how much time I need to leave the watch without the battery to delete the old dive logs? Thanks!

Good video! What time of grease are you using btw? Cheers
@androopr3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! It's silicone grease. Usually if you buy an oring it will come with a small amount of grease in the packaging. Hope this video saves you money!

Based on experience, Is a leak/pressure test needed after a diy replacement?
@androopr3 жыл бұрын
Good question- if the oring is in place and the screws are tight there should be no problems but it doesn't hurt to test anyways.

Hello, What is the thickness in mm of the battery? I could not get a battery replacement kit in my country but I found some batteries, although I don't know if the thickness is the correct one. Thanks

If you hadn't replaced the o-ring, but instead used the old one what would be the recommended method to clean it?
@androopr Жыл бұрын
Just run your fingers around it and remove any dust and dirt, carefully inspect for cracking or damage , then put grease on it and put back in the same way. I’d personally be comfortable doing that if my new battery didn’t come with a new oring but of course requires some judgement

Hey quick q: where did you get the grease from if its not with the battery? So solely the battery without o ring and grease?
