Why buy lithiums they will bring no benefit other the empty your wallet faster ?
Yeah you can get lithium manganese which have up to 5x capacity but they can't be recharged, the rechargeable variants have less capacity, plus the cost of a charger...spend your money elsewhere imho.

No idea why but they like lithiums. Perhaps voltage drop of a regular battery causes them to drain more. I used to go though a set of batteries every 3 trips, the lithiums did a year.

Find yourself some Fox DXRs, the best ever albeit receiver range is limited but you shouldn't be that far away anyway.

Sold my delk d's for ecu super plus compacts and much prefer the ecu's.

The battery and receiver signal issues were only with the 1st generation. The latest ones are spot on.

Dude no offense or take offense whatever but if you see that as a problem then I'd say there is no problem 🤣 that sounds like one of those finding reasons to complain complaints

I think you would change your mind when it's blowing a gale and raining, you need to change the sensitivity, and you're getting piss wet through having to cycle through all the sensitivities, counting the beeps, and you go past the least sensitive so have to start again.

Got the same buzzers. I plan ahead and do it before the rain and wind comes in. Get windy red on you phone and check it regularly. Plan ahead and you've no need to get wet and pissed off pressing buttons on your buzzers

Im glad it works for you, but I don't go fishing to regularly check my phone. I swapped over to an alarm that works much better for me.

I understand. My job is very weather related so I'm always checking weather. I only fish for a few weeks a year so I like to know what's going to happen. Habbit I guess. Like you said what works for you.

Having used them for the best part of 3 years my thoughts. As an alarm they are the best looking imo and the features on them are all easy to use. The large LEDs are really good. I had no issues at all for 2 years but then one just completely packed up mid session and nearly cost me a fish. This was fixed really quickly by Scott so no issues there. But, when your confidence has gone, its gone. Also being a member of a few users groups on FB I did notice a fair few were acting up. I am sure its the same for most higher end feature packed alarms tbh. So its back to ATTs for me. Literally the only alarm i have used that has never let me down, I realise they aren't perfect but as near to 100% reliable as its possible to get.

Maybe not just the early ones my super plus receiver has just flattened a brand new battery between sessions.

Worked fine last time out dead as the proverbial today, for the first time in years going to have to carry spare batteries.

Put a new one in but if it happens again they'll be shifted on after repair & it'll be TLB pluses & an att receiver.

For the money they cost not impressed, lost confidence in them now.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
