So the new SteriPen showed up yesterday.(Along with a mailer to “recycle “ the defective one)
I charged it overnight then tried it this afternoon.
It purified 6 liters in a row, then flashed low battery on the 7th.
I think I’ll charge it overnight again and tomorrow test the purifying spread out over several hours like I would in real life.
If I get the same results, I’ll send it back to Backcountry.
I don’t need 20 liters on a charge but 12-15 would make me more comfortable than 6.
