David Pike, you wrote:
"It’s possibly because these devices are latest technology and solar powered that they keep bouncing back. There’s not going to be much emf to produce a chip lethal current, especially under water"
That's what I was thinking, more or less, and this was also why I decided I should dunk the newer model. I worried that its capacitive backup to the solar power might produce a current spike in water which the older model would not produce. In the event, that didn't happen.
Sorry for the late reply on your comment. I missed it on the first pass.
