BALLISTIC BATTERY - Does not honor warranty, LIED, Does not respond, took my money!
I bought a Ballistic EVO2 4-cell battery back in April for a 1975 Honda CB200 motorcycle. The battery DIED in the middle of riding. Left me strained, had to walk 3 miles to get help, then rented a motorcycle trailer, and haul it home to put on the LiFe charger. That's when I knew that it was/were dead cells from the "Battery Connection Break" error message. The battery would not recharge at all.
Phoned Ballistic, 920-545-4956, left messages and finally a "Bryan" called me back and said I should check my CDI on my CB200 — and he sooo sure of it, because he used to own one just like it (Lied). But there is no cdi. It is an old bike and does not utilize CDI; simple points and plate. Told me to send it back, but didn't even give me ticket number or even address or who to make it to, just "Bryan" when I pressed him for an answer.
So shipped a couple days later with tracking number, receipt, full description of what happened, contact info. Called one week later, left VM. Emailed Technical, General, Customer emails. Nothing. Two weeks, left another VM. Nothing. Third week, another VM, still nothing! NO call-back, no response. It's one MONTH now. And I have given up.
I've been duped for $100 for a product that had to work ONCE per week on a sunday. I've put maybe less than 20 miles on the battery. Had to buy a new battery ($64) that would fit my bike (small sealed lead-acid), rented a trailer ($15), not to mention wasted a whole day walking, gas to rent the trailer.
I just want them to contact me, or send me a confirmation, or a new battery. Is that so hard?
