 Good product, but short shelf life January 7, 2009

I bought the C6L chargePAK along with a Pure One for my wife's Xmas present in 2007. This has been a great product and has given her many many hours of company in her vegetable garden. However after just less than a year the chargePAK has died. Whilst I love the convenience of the rechargeable unit, 27+ is a substantial cost for a replacement. I see from other reviews that Pure think this is a reasonable lifetime. How come mobile phone batteries last years? Still undecided as to whether to replace the unit as it does seem a rip-off.

Buy carefully if you have a cold house! Got this at Christmas to go with a Pure One. Couldn't get it to charge - it was as though there was a connector problem, the charging icon wouldn't come on except momentarly and by the time you got the battery compartment closed it was off again. So - got a replacement, same problem. Found a blog suggesting that it might be ambient temperature related. The weather has certainly been very cold of late and I'm too mean to turn the heating up. Seems its operating (ie charging) range is 15-45 deg C. Tried a few experiments in a warmer than average room and got it to charge OK.

I have read two previous view points on this battery PAK and I bought one even though one of the reviews said it was a waste of money. I bought a PURE DAB radio in November 08 and got through a set of ordinary batteries in just over a week. At 6 at a time this would be expensive. However I invested in a PAK C6L and I think it is great. My radio has now reached playing on and off for 14 hours & there is only one segment used so far. The specification quotes 15 hours battery life after a full charge. I'm well pleased with this battery PAK. I've also been told to make the most of a rechargeable let it run right down and then recharge - don't keep topping it up.
 Don't buy one of these September 15, 2008

I have owned the previous version (C6X) of the chargepak for around 2 years. Currently it gives around 15 minutes of play before it dies. When I called Pure's customer helpline, I explained that the product was out of warranty and that I appreciated that I would not be refunded. However, the lady who answered was quite defensive and explained that, as the product has a one year guarantee, Pure expect it to last only around 12 months. If this is so, then 30 seems a lot to pay for occasional use away from the mains in one year.
My experience of rechargeable batteries is generally far better - mobile phones, digital cameras and multi-purpose rechargeable batteries. I feel that there must be something wrong with the chargepak if Pure have such low expectations regarding its lifetime. I also have a Pure Oasis which has given many years of excellent performance under recharging. Maybe the chargepak unit is unsuitable for the Evoke 3 in which I use it. The lady at Pure would not give me any information as to whether they had any issues with the unit, or whether other customers had cause to complain.
I was informed that Pure have upgraded the C6X to the current C6L unit. When I asked, the lady at Pure said that this unit too was expected to have an approximate life of one year.
I consider the chargepak to be an expensive waste of money and, judging from the above conversation with Pure, a product designed to last only one year.
