rscott 1 #1 December 24, 2017 My second Cypres recently timed out after 12 years. I opened a drawer where it's predecessor Cypres 1 was still sitting. I keep meaning to do something with it. It had expired back in ~2005. Just for fun I tried to turn it on. To my surprise, the old unit turned on, calibrated itself, and ended up with a 0 in the display--ready to jump. Pretty impressive for batteries that had to be 12 + 2 years old. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have a fannypack at home somewhere? Boy do I have a fun activity for you....=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflyfree 0 #3 January 3, 2018 Yeah Throw it in a low pass. I have friends that still use them in the lawless lands of some South American countries, and as long as Paragear still sell batteries, they are not getting rid of them. http://www.paragear.com/skydiving/10000262/I1525/REPLACEMENT-BATTERY-FOR-CYPRES-1-AAD-- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY...
