Thanks for the review. Being a Pro Conect owner, it made interesting reading.
I was particularly interested to hear about battery performance. My battery which has now been used for about 3000 miles (exchanged just over 12 months ago) is showing definite signs of wear. I have had the usual 4, even 3 lights on the capacity check through the winter, but ignored this as I thought it was the cold weather. However, performing the "conditioning discharge" has not brought the capacity check back to 5 lights for any period of time. The capacity check drops back to 4 lights after a couple of uses of the battery. I have also reached the point where very soon, I will have to recharge the battery at work to get home.
Just over 12 months ago, the battery would have probably taken me to work, back home and to work again. There is a definite and significant reduction in battery performance.
I see from your reveiw that you have had a similar experience. Which brings me to my next question, "Have you considered this to be a warranty issue"? I can't make my mind up on this one. The battery is guaranteed for two years, but what should we expect. What is an acceptable reduction in performance? If it is sold as a 10 Ah battery guaranteed for two years, is it reasonable to expect to have a 10 Ah battery for the duration of that period? If not, what should we expect?
