PETREL 2 DIVE COMPUTER MODES
PETREL 2 DIVE COMPUTER FEATURES
PETREL 2 DIVE COMPUTER SPECIFICATIONS
Short Answer: While almost any kind of AA sized battery works with your Shearwater Petrel, the standard 1.5V alkaline battery (the type found in stores around the world) works best.
Long Answer: There are numerous types of AA sized batteries that will work in your Shearwater Petrel, read below for more details:
Alkaline
We recommend the AA 1.5V alkaline battery (e.g. the Duracell Coppertop) because it is:
A) Inexpensive
B) Available anywhere
C) Reliable
D) Gives about 35 hours of diving
As an added bonus your Petrel provides a useful “Fuel Gauge” display for these batteries.
Saft
The Saft 3.6V LS14500 battery (used by the Shearwater Predator) is also a good choice, primarily because it has the longest usable life (90 hours on medium brightness). However they are:
A) Expensive
B) Hard to find
C) Sensitive to temperature and storage conditions
In addition they are incompatible with the new “Fuel Gauge” feature so only three levels are given: Full, Low (Yellow) and Critical (Red).
Li-Ion – Rechargeable
The 3.7V Li-Ion 14500 battery is a good choice that can be purchased online. The AW brand is recommended and typically high quality. The brands Trustfire and Ultrafire can be good, but seem to come from a wider variety of sources and many users report getting duds. The Li-Ion batteries give about 35hours per charge and are compatible with the new “Fuel Gauge” feature. Note that these batteries are actually about 4.2V when fully charged.
NiMH – Rechargeable
The 1.2V NiMH battery can also be used. These are commonly used in photo flashes and digital cameras, and can be purchased in most electronics stores. About 30 hours per charge can be expected. We recommend using the low self-discharge models typically labeled as “pre-charged”, “ready charged”, “stay charged” etc. and have capacities around 2000mAh. The older style high self-discharge batteries have higher capacities (around 2800mAh) but not recommended. They will work, but will go dead in a few weeks just sitting on the shelf. Also, all NiMH batteries are incompatible with the new “Fuel Gauge” feature so only three levels are given: Full, Low (Yellow) and Critical (Red). If you have these batteries already from your photo flash, feel free to use them. However we do not recommend buying them for the Petrel as better choices are available.
Photo Lithium 1.5V
These are the best choice for cold water divers. Sold as the Energizer brand Advanced Lithium and Ultimate Lithium batteries. The 1.5V Photo Lithium batteries offer almost double the run time in a Petrel when compared to an alkaline battery. However they can cost about 4X as much as an Alkaline. They are a good choice if you want longer run time than alkaline batteries provide or if diving in waters colder than 8 degrees Celsius (46 degrees Fahrenheit) . They can be found in most department stores or electronics stores and also in many drug stores.
Zinc-Carbon 1.5V
1.5V Zinc-Carbon batteries are el-cheapo batteries commonly found in dollar stores. Although they work, they only provide about 10 to 15 hours and so are not recommended. However if they are all you can get on a tropical island somewhere, feel free to use them.
To summarize:
Type | Nominal Voltage | Approx. Med. Battery Life | Rechargeable | Availability | Cost (USD) | Cost (500 hrs) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Alkaline | 1.5 V | 34 hrs | No | Excellent | $0.75 | $11.50 |
Saft LS14500 | 3.6 V | 90 hrs | No | Poor | $7.50 | $42 |
Li-Ion | 3.7 V | 34 hrs | Yes | Poor | $12.00 | $35* |
NiMH | 1.2 V | 30 hrs | Yes | Good | $5.00 | $20* |
Photo Lithium | 1.5 V | 55 hrs | No | Good | $3.00 | $27 |
*For rechargeable batteries, cost for 500 hours of diving is cost of 2 batteries plus charger.
Battery life depends on two things: screen brightness and battery type.
The “Auto” brightness setting measures the ambient light to adjust the screen brightness for the best balance of battery life and screen readability.
On medium brightness a 1.5V alkaline battery gives about 35 hours of operation and 6 months of standby (battery in but computer turned off). The Shearwater Petrel uses a small amount of power while turned off to keep track of your tissue loading. Other types of batteries will give anywhere from 30 to 90 hours on medium brightness.
The Shearwater Petrel has a super capacitor that provides power to the computer during a battery change. The Shearwater Petrel uses a small amount of power even while turned off to keep track of your tissue loading.
This super capacitor has enough energy to maintain your tissue status for at least 15 minutes. This means that if your battery change takes less than 15 minutes you can continue with repetitive dives. Additionally, you will not need to set the date or time as the Petrel will have remembered it.
Watch the tissues demo video.
In Gauge Mode the Petrel does not know what gas you are breathing and therefore cannot track the inert gas tissue loading.

Shearwater Perdix AI (Air Integrated) Dive Computer
Perdix-AI
Regular price $1,285.00 Save $-1,285.00
Shearwater is proud to introduce the newest member of the Shearwater family: The Perdix AI. Offering all of the same great features of the Perdix, the Perdix AI uses its large, easy-to-read screen to clearly display the tank pressure as well as your gas time remaining (GTR). The Perdix AI is capable of connecting to either one or two transmitters giving the diver the option to monitor both tanks or dive sidemount.
The Perdix AI dive computer from Shearwater search, is a robust dive computer for technical divers of all levels, and ready out of the box for air, nitrox, and trimix gasses. The Perdix AI is the newest offering from Shearwater, similar in design an operation to the Petrel line of dive computers, but in a smaller form factor.
Its simple 2-button interface and easy to navigate menu structure allows for intuitive and quick operation underwater. The Perdix AI features a large, high resolution LCD screen is both easy to read, and power efficient. The Perdix AI operates on any AA sized battery, and is user-replaceable in the field with minimal effort. The included digital compass is both accurate and smooth, and Bluetooth integration offers download and upload capability from Mac, PC, and iOS devices.
The Perdix AI may be used for open-circuit and closed circuit-diving, as well as gauge mode if desired
The small form factor of the Perdix AI does not allow for an external connection for rebreather oxygen cell monitoring. Despite this, closed-circuit rebreather divers find the Perdix AI more than adequate for CCR decompression calculations using a manually entered PO2 setpoint.
In closed-circuit mode, the Perdix AI stores banks of 5 closed-circuit diluent gasses, as well as 5 open-circuit bailout gasses. In open circuit mode, 5 bottom mixes, and 5 decompression gasses may be stored. Gas switching is performed quickly and easily with minimal button pushes. Gasses may be added or edited while underwater – useful for lost gas scenarios.
Decompression Algorithm
The Shearwater Perdix dive computer features the following modes of operation:
OC Rec - 3 gas nitrox recreational computer
OC Tec - Multi gas, trimix decompression computer
CC INT - Closed circuit fixed PPO2
Gauge - Bottom timer with stopwatch and dive logging
All Shearwater dive computers use Buhlmann ZHL-16C as the decompression algorithm. User adjustable conservatism may be achieved by manipulation of gradient factors settings in the computer’s settings. An optional VPM-B algorithm may be purchased if desired, and installed in the field.
The 2.2" Color LCD display is easy to read, with high contrast, and automatic screen brightness. The display may be customized with user-defined font colors, and may be inverted for those who wish to wear the Perdix AI on their opposite arm. Several layouts may be selected from, and fonts may be customized for size and color.
The user interface is simple to use with adaptive menus. Commands are entered with piezoelectric buttons. Warnings are clear and concise using color-coded fonts. A simple 2-button bailout allows for quick and easy changes to open-circuit. No confusing icons are used; rather the Perdix AI navigation is done with plain-language. Divers have a choice of metric, or imperial units.
The Perdix AI operates with any AA-sized battery. Shearwater Research recommends the use of Duracell Coppertop alkaline batteries for their widespread availability, and reliability. Shearwater dive computers will operate about 30 hours on a quality alkaline battery, or up to 95 hours using Saft LS14500 batteries. Li-Ion, NiMH, Photo Lithium 1.5 and Zinc-Carbon 1.5 batteries may also be used.
The Shearwater dive computers also features a super-capacitor to keep track of your tissue loading in the event a battery change is required between dives. This capacitor holds enough energy to maintain tissue status for 15 minutes. This means that if your battery change takes less than 15 minutes you can continue with repetitive dives, and don’t have to reset the date and time.
The Shearwater Perdix AI features a 1000-hour dive log, which may be downloaded via Bluetooth to a Mac, PC or iOS device using free Shearwater Desktop. The Bluetooth feature may also be used to upload firmware updates, when available.
