New Cat Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 My powervamp pvr25 appears to be leaking slightly, corroding the tray. It is mounted on its side but I did not expect it to leak!It appears to be holding perfect charge on the conditioner (optimate 3) so it seems a shame to have to replace it but do I have any other sensible options?Many thanks,Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted January 19, 2016 Member Share Posted January 19, 2016 How old?Can you see where it's leaking? Any distortion of the case?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Cat Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 The case looks perfect but it appears to be weeping from the bottom edge of the plastic rectangular cap (that ultimately holds the terminals on top). I can only guess its about 5 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted January 19, 2016 Member Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'd photograph it and write to the manufacturer asking for a discount on a new one.But get it out now and wash it all down and scrub off any white crud. I'd use lots of tap water.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Cat Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 I called Powervamp and they told me that they had not been marketing the PVR25 for at least 2 years - that it had always just been a rebadged Odyssey PC680. They offered to look at it if I sent it back to them but wouldn't make any promises.I noted that the PC680 was available elsewhere for significantly less money (jjcraceandrally via ebay seemed best) and that returning what is at least a 5 year old battery to Powervamp was likely to just be throwing good money after bad.
