i see Janty eu and janty usa have stopped selling the dura due to all the reliability problems, lets see how the Dura C fares......
mixxy, I know! I wonder what's going on. I think I read that the Dura C was coming out in March. Does this mean we get the "junky" ones ?? Maybe ours will have the new, improved battery? Lets cross out fingers! Maybe we'll love it!
Hi Beequeen:
I've been reading all the posts on this thread: Janty thread - q&a
The last post (at this time) made by Ludo (with Janty) was this:
We ares sorry to announce that we have decided to retract the normal DURA auto batteries until further notice because of the too high failure percentage. We are working with JOYE to help them improve these batts.
"We'd be more than happy to switch your order to a Dura-C. Basically the only difference of the C model is the new updated manual battery that will fix previous issues we've experienced with the other batteries.
There's a couple of things we can do here.
1. I can send your original order out with the standard dura batteries. Once the Dura-C batteries arrive (Should be sometime later next week) we can ship two of the new batteries in exchange for the old ones. We'd basically just need you to drop the old batteries in an envelope and mail back to our offices.
2. I should have the complete Dura-C sets available later next week and we can change your order to this. We would ship your order as soon as they are available.
Please get back to us and let us know how you'd like to proceed.
"
Thank you for the good info, mixxy and shakey! Ok, since the Dura c set will be available sometime next week, I'll wait for that one. I've never used a manual switch before...I guess I'll just have to get used to pressing a button every time i want a hit. But if that switch prolongs the life of batteries, I'll do it! Mixxy, it's worth a shot . Janty has a decent warranty.
Ok, I'm excited again! Mixxy, be sure to let me know what you think when you get yours and I'll do the same.
Cellmeister, the company admitting that there was a mistake is a very good sign...and Jeff routinely gets glowing reviews for his customer service, which is another big plus!
How do you like the new Jantys?
Are you happy with the battery swap?
