Topic: batteryspace batterys DOA! (they took care of me!)

[ChrisV]

Just an update....got in contact with Batteryspace and they are indeed sending me 2 more new ones and return label for the DOA ones.   Should arrive to me in time and assuming these new ones aren't caput as well I should be fine.   Otherwise I'll need to throw together 8 Ni-MH AA's for a homemade pack ;p

[mmmatt]

what's the latest chris?  Get the new batts?

[ChrisV]

Was hoping they'd arrive Friday but they didn't....so probably will arrive tomorrow.

[Mojowill]

Should I even risk getting these packs if you guys are having troubles with them?  I need to get some power before the haymaker coming up on may 7th & 8th

[mmmatt]

I think you'll be ok. Call in your order and ask if they will check them before they ship.  They really are a good company to work with.

any luck chris?

[ChrisV]

*Sigh*  Still hasn't arrived.   I am used to ground shipment shit taking forever to get to me being in Oregon when shipped from East Coast....but now that I look at it they are from CA so who knows?

Kinda drives me insane when I don't have a tracking #....I like to follow the little package's travels ;p

I got 3 things all arriving soon UPS(and only able to track one of them)...but hopefully they all arrive today.

[mmmatt]

bug em... they owe you.  the probably have a tracking number.

Just out of curiosity, how come you all got 2 of these?  Doing a lot of festival to need all that power?

[mmmatt]

it's a package, and yess it will be nice for a festival.  I think I'm going to get 2 more because I can run my jb3 off them as well.  With 4 I know I can go 12 hrs maybe 15 running my whole rig.

I got 2 out of 3 packages today...got my vu meter kits and my microphones but no batts!   Oh well, if I was to only get 2 items today I kinda wanted it to be those ones anyways ;p
Maybe I will bug them one last time to get a tracking #.

Yeah, I do think one battery would suffice since that would get like 5-6 hours I think for a UA-5...dunno what I'll use the other one for.  I could power my JB3 with it for a few hours in a pinch(when not using the SLA) or I could just have it as backup.

[ChrisV]

Got 'em today....tested both battery packs with a voltometer and they both were about 10.3 V...much better than the small fraction of a volt on the others ;p

So Batteryspace is a good company...even though they made 2 seperate mistakes on my order but sent out the replacement goods at their cost and paid for shipping both ways to make things right.

[mmmatt]

glad it worked out... hope it didn't translate to down time for you

[Joe w.]

Those batteries come delivered without a charge on them. This is not anything out of the ordinary really. Set them up for a full charge when they arrive and you'll be fine.

[mmmatt]

my first set wouldn't take a charge... thats the problem
