Shearwater Perdix Battery Cap
Quick answer: The Shearwater Perdix Battery Cap is a replacement cap for the battery compartment on Shearwater's Perdix dive computer. Fat Guy Scuba Supply lists it through our Scuba.com affiliate partnership, and you complete the purchase at Scuba.com.
Why the battery cap matters
The battery cap is small, but it's part of what keeps water out of your computer. It gets opened and closed every time you change the battery, and over time it can get scratched, worn, dropped on the boat deck or lost in a gear bag. A damaged cap puts an expensive computer at risk. Replacing it is a lot cheaper than dealing with a flooded battery compartment in the middle of a dive trip.
Worth having in your spares kit
If you travel to dive, a spare battery cap is easy to pack and can save a trip. Battery changes often happen in a hotel room or on a rocking boat, which is exactly when small parts go missing. Keeping a spare with your batteries and save-a-dive kit means one lost part doesn't take your main computer out of service for the week.

Before ordering
Check the retailer's product details to confirm this cap fits your specific Perdix model and to see whether any o-rings or other parts are included.
Usage notes
Follow Shearwater's instructions when changing the battery and installing the cap. Make sure the sealing surfaces are clean and free of sand, hair or lint before closing it. Don't overtighten. After installing a new cap, check that it's seated properly before diving, and rinse the computer with fresh water after every dive.
FGSS take: Small parts protect big investments. Keep a spare where you keep your batteries.
