Hi guys.
Just wanted to see if there was an easy solve to the backpack issues that I've had this week.
The Gardiner Backpack I use is about 9 months old. Im 90% trad, but it gets used about every other day for a little bit. Always keep charged and everything. Would have thought it woild have lasted longer than this. Obviously the warranty is 6 months.
At about 2 or 3 months new I had a problem with a broken spade connector, replaced it and it was fine. When backpack wouldnt fire up on Monday thought it might be the same issue. Opened her up and noticed that the other mental spade connector had split some, so replaced that and also replaced the blown fuse.
Then when I went to test fuse blew instantly again. Have rechecked the battery connectors and put a new fuse in. Now when I run recommended test of II power first then I power, nothing happens, no sign of life. Fuse remains intact.
Please let me know what I'm missing here as it's driving me a bit crazy. Have had to push back a couple of hundred pounds worth of work this week and wonder if I should just bite the bullet and purchase a different backpack.
Has anyone else had similar problems with Gardiners backpack in such a short period of time? Would it be better to get water genie? I notice that at least their warranty is for a year.
Let me know.
Appreciate any help
Josh
