Default Colibri II losing seal

not exactly true.
I do think there might have been so issue with operating the colibri with an
already too low battery for it to fully boot up or getting caught with a
dead battery giving up on closing the flight file so it is warranted to
keep it and other devices that are string files charged or on some external
power during these times. The Colibri will charge while on external power or
when connected to a USB PC or wall charger with the proper USB adapter
(supplied with most).
There is also a software update for the earliest Colibri II's available that
may solve any previous issue

Fw version 1.5 available. Please send request for update file including sn
of your Colibri II to This e-mail address is

IGC approved Colibri II units can be updated!

If you have a Colibri II make sure that the battery does not fully
discharge. Doing so will break the seal and it will need to be
returned for resealing. If you plan to store it for a period of time
make sure you check it on a schedule to ensure that the battery still
has a charge. The manual cautions you to not let the battery discharge
but fails to tell you the consequences of doing so.
