Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Battery PAK Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Don't buy one of these Comment: 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.

My advise [do not buy one] Customer Rating: Summary: pure pak charger Comment: ive used this twice now to charge my radio and i have only got 10hours play back time on each occassion.dont know if the batteries drain quickly because it isnt a very strong signal where i use it ,or that it depends on how lloud you have got it on.all in all i found this product fairly useful. Customer Rating: Summary: One minor niggle........ Comment: After having replaced normal batteries a number of times, I bought this item. I am pleased with it, however there is one draw-back that others may come across......... Once the product starts to loose its charge, it can run flat in a short space of time. I recon from three bars on the radio charge indicator to the radio ceasing to work was about 25mins. This can be a pain, so I now make sure that it is connected to the mains every couple of days...not a great problem, but buyers should be aware that the battery pack can loose its charge quickley, like its smaller re-chargeable battery brothers.
