EVOD battery Recall

[dirt2suck]

We have just notified all of our customers that purchased EVOD batteries and Kits by email
Please check your email!

If you have any EVOD batteries, PLEASE do not use! Dispose of them.
If your friends or family use them, please notify them and have them contact the supplier they purchased from.

We received this email from our distibutor:

According to our customers' feedbacks and factory's information, some EVOD batteries died after charge in a short time.
KangerTech figured out that there might be problem with 2 or 3 batches of battery cells they got from a battery factory. These
batteries are possible to EXPLODE during charge, although the possibility is very very small.

KangerTech attached great importance to the problem and upgraded the protection of EVOD battery and have more strict quality
control on the battery cells. The EVOD batteries we are supplying now are all improved ones, there is no such problem.

In order to avoid any serious accident, we and KangerTech decided to make the recall on old version of EVOD batteries,
regardless of the high cost.

The potential faulty EVOD batteries are as below:
All EVOD 650mAh batteries in matte black, yellow, blue. Rest colors we sent before June 24.
ALL EVOD 1000mAh batteries in yellow, green. Rest colors we sent before June 24.
All EVOD starter kits in yellow. Rest colors we sent before June 24.




* Please do not use the EVOD batteries anymore, dispose of them.

If you ordered from Good Prophets, please reply to your email.
We will be replacing these free of charge.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
We want safety as our first concern.


We do stress our concern of safety to please use Lipo Safe charging bags.
Battery failure can happen to any device, including cell phones, tablets and laptops at any time.
We do have Lipo Safe bags on our site and recommend them.



Thanks
Rob

Thanks to everyone that has responded to you emails we have sent out.
We still need many more, so don't hesitate.


UPDATE:

We are recalling every single EVOD battery that was purchased from GP.
While not every single one may have a problem, we are playing it safe.
If you have purchased any EVOD battery or kit from GP, throw them out now...don't risk the gamble!)

We will not have any EVOD kit or battery on the site for sale until we take care of this situation.

**New battery replacements will start to be sent out on this Monday July 22nd
Except for 650mah Blue, Green, Pink which should follow shortly after.

After we get caught up, we MAY be able to do color/size change if you need replacements faster, but no definite yet.

Thank you for cooperating

Rob @ GP
