I use the Solution and replaced its battery few months ago. The battery life time is not easy to say because it depends a lot of how= much you use beeper (alarms). Also, parts of it are powered all the time so you cannot say what is the running used time. The used time is something else than your dive time plus surface time between the dives != Anyway, I replaced it right a way. You cannot not save anything by not replacing the battery soon, but you will take a risk not to know when it really cuts off and leaves you in the water. I recommend that you sho= uld replece it soon ! You know, the Mr. Murphy likes divers.... Regards, Terho
