beware!!!!!!!!!!!Gangstar PB ripped me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!beware

So gangstar pb is running a pretty shady operation I spent almost 90 bucks on a flux recharable battery and right out of the box it didn't work. So I thought no big deal cause they have a lifetime warranty I'll just send it in to get taken care of. I ship it back and 3 weeks later I get another one broken out of the box. So now he won't respond to any e-mails or PMs and I'm stuck with a 90 battery that has never worked. What can I do from here? Any help would be appreciated.

charge it? use a different charger? i have a 15 minute speed charger for RC batteries that can flash charge, and sometimes old batteries need to be "boiled" for them to regain their capacity.

i'm guessing it uses a wall-charger that takes hours to charge? if you force charge it that could bring the life back, but don't over do it or you will have more problems.

I rofl every time I read something like this. Let me put this into perspective for you. I'm just a normal guy. I have a decent spam filter. Yet I get on avg of 10-20+ emails daily. How many do you get? Now picture if we had a business. If you want to get anywhere with an online business you have to pick up the phone. I'm surprised they got back to you the first time. Most sites I've delt with take upwards of a week to respond if at all.

Get your money back if you can. Every rechargable battery or battery pack in pb is way way over priced. For example my boost pack was 80 so add shipping and I payed around the same as you. After my boost charger crapped out I started checking out battery sites online. I found out that I could of made 2 complete boost packs for the price of mine! Making a pack is simple but if you think it's beyond you most battery sites sell complete packs so it's merely a matter of finding out what voltage you need

make your own battery pack there for cheap bills. Id use Deans Ultraplugs Mini and order an extra plug and solder it into your battery harness, or if need be, Id do it for shipping for you if you send me your hopper and a plug.

yeah I had a sketchy experience with them a long time ago just for a "1 of 10 strap" that they ended up making 100's of. Took 2 months to arrive.
