One thing I have noticed with my v1.0 tm .... the battery cannot be located immediately against the tm. I had to space mine away form the tm a bit to avoid "issues" with operation. I discovered this when placing the battery and the tm into my "altitude chamber" for some testing last summer. The chamber is awfully small but this turned into a blessing as I discovered this operational constraint.
