We then went on to discuss potential remedies. Where do you imagine the full price maker's batteries are made? And I'd suggest you check the specs of *anything* before buying. Can end in tears if you don't. Even if it only comes from Luton. Or perhaps you think con artists don't exist in the UK? -- *I was once a millionaire but my mom gave away my baseball cards Dave Plowman dave(a)davenoise.co.uk London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

The difference is the spec of the cells they sell, and how they are packaged. not where they are made. >> And I'd suggest you check the specs of *anything* before buying. > > If the seller is a liar, the claimed spec is irrelevant. > >> Can end in tears if you don't.

No. If the seller is in britain you can tip off thelr local trading standards. It's also easier and quicker to get a replacement from a UK based operation (presuming they don't have to send it back to .cn first). The ease of getting satisfaction has a real financial worth. >>Can end in tears if you don't. Even if it only comes from Luton.

I think you meant "yes", if the seller is a liar, and lives in China, you are stuffed. >The ease of getting satisfaction has a real financial worth. Exactly, which is why I've been suggesting people buy from a locally based outfit. -- Roland Perry |
