Not always the case I have had a battery go out in just over three 
years and Heather had one go out about 6 months after that.  I returned 
both to Scubapro (own Uwatec now) and mine was replaced (out of warranty) 
for free and they charged a battery replacement fee for Heather's, I think 
about $40, and then send her a new one as well.  Granted we dive more than 
most and our average dive not counting deco is 140 mins, so the batteries 
see some usage.  If they had not replaced these I would have bought a Viper 
and ran it in gauge mode.
    I would go with the Viper, unless you are going deeper than it can, 
then I would find an old Aladin Pro and bend the living shit out of it.
