Ikelite addresses DS 125 and 160 battery pack issue

6/22/09 .... DS125 and DS160 Battery Packs

Several broken battery packs for DS125 and DS160 strobes have been traced to a material inconsistency. Battery packs produced between Sept '07 and Nov '08 are subject to this flaw in the central black plastic mounting piece.

 

A date code with the format MM/YY is etched on each pack opposite the product number #4066.5. Packs produced after Nov '08 or which have been returned to Ikelite for any reason since Dec '08 have been updated to a newer style toggle pawl. This appears to have corrected the issue.

 

If you have a broken toggle pawl or a battery pack within the above date range in its original condition, toggle replacement kits are available. Within the U.S., Canada and Caribbean please contact the office at ikelite@ikelite.com or 317.923.4523. Overseas customers please contact your local Ikelite Distributor.

 

As always, battery packs may be returned directly to Ikelite for updating with no prior authorization required.

Thanksfor the link, One of mine just snapped today

Another thanks for the link.

One of mine snapped a couple of weeks ago!

I guess this is good customer service... I just wish that some day they`ll cover overseas shipping in their manufacture mistakes...

Well maybe is my fault for not living within conusa, and I´m asking too much...
