Battery shot?

[VMS]

Hi everyone,

Just purchased an aqua vu and I am starting to believe my battery is bad. I turn on the aqua vu and get nothing. I plug the battery in to charge and it shows "full charge."

So..just for kicks, I tried my vexilar battery on the aqua vu and it worked just fine. So...I'm guessing that is where I am at.

The unit is reconditioned, but coming directly from the company, I would think everything should be perfect...

I've called the company and left a message (it was after hours) to see what options I have for replacement of battery...if that is what it is...

Are my suspicions correct with this battery?

Thanks

Yes it is the battery. My flasher did the same thing this fall.

was the second battery allready charged if so maybe its the charger that came with the aqua view try the charger from your vex?

I used the charger to charge up my vexilar battery a few nights before. That battery is doing well.

I put the charger on the Aqua vu battery for the night last night..just to see what would happen. Charger still showed full charge, but it seemed to work today. I am going to put the unit in the cold garage for a night, then see what happens.

I had that happen to me on the second year of use. Dropped the camera in and hit the power button and nothing, luckily I brought the Vex and still had a good day. Replace the battery and it will work just fine.

That camera will suck the battery down about 10 times faster then the Vex. The best test is to charge the battery then wait a day then hook up a volt meter to it and see what you read. If battery is below 12.45 volts it is time to get a new one.
