I have manual batts and dont have to push hard. I'd contact Val at v4l. Or just go to their website and find the customer service/sales email and it will go to Val.

I'd tell her just what you told us that it's very hard to push the button and it is intermittently working. She'll get you fixed up in no time. :)

Thanks Brittany, I talked to Val, now I just have to come up with the money to place another order to get my replacement.

:confused:I have also noticed this with one of the xl batts I just got-I am not sure if mine is bad enough to worry about yet, but it seems the stainless one I got that has a blue led is better than the platinum one with the green led-that one I had a few little issues with-sometimes I would press and get nothing-but its not all the time, just a few times.

I have 5 XL Manuals and 2 Reg Manuals. All of them seem to like having the button pushed down at a slightly different angle. Sometimes if I hold the button too light it will go intermittent. However, after I get used to that batt I don't have a problem. Now that I have the technique down I don't have any performance problems with any of the batts.

I sometimes wonder if maybe the trigger needs a little breaking in just to rid them of any stiffness since the buttons also seem to loosen up (not in a bad way) and gets easier to fully depress.

Sometimes that little switch isn't exactly in the right spot on inside, I bet, so you would have to push a bit differently for the button to click that switch down, like u all said. once in awhile they might be too far off to work right even if u push it differently.?
Maybe thats what the person that started the thread got, one that was too far out of alignment.

Sounds very possible to me.

Once the switch did go funky on me with one of my reg manuals. Pushed the button several times and it wouldn't work at all. All I did was just knock the batt on the counter a couple of times and it's been working great since.
 
I really hate to intrude here, but did you just say, in order to receive a placement of a defective unit that you have to order again?

Yea, I guess they way they work is if you have a defective product you include the order number and the details concerning the defective product in the comments box of your next order and they send you a replacement. Not a bad hand off in my opinion.
 
Yeah, but now I'm a little disheartened by this, because I only order once in a while, just to pass around orders to suppliers. I had a little trouble with an order I placed here and was sort of talking to Val the C.s. Thanks for letting me know Loyd.


Well I am a consumer, you on the other hand are a supplier. V4L may take a different approach to suppliers and distributors.
