Purchased a Protron Portable DVD, model #PDV-288 from Sears. Immediate problems charging portable battery pack to give the claimed 2.5 hours battery life. (only about 1 hour of battery life.) After not using appliance for approximately 6 mos., unable to charge battery pack at all. Not able to locate a replacement battery pack. Not able to contact Protron either by telephone, e-mail, or connect to their web site. Third party suppliers (Radio Shack, etc.) unable to provide a comparable replacement battery pack. Sears claims not to have any connection to Protron, and unable to supply replacement battery pack.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I agree...I haven't run mine off anything other than direct AC power yet...but I'm having a devil of a time finding a working website for them...X-(
I was hoping you would have some answers for me. The only thing I saw that might work is a site that rebuilds old batteries. Puts new cells in the old case. I would love to hear from someone who has used this option. RPA
