whaaa? https://www.vivant.com/products/vleaf/#REDEFINGING Didn't see that coming.

IMHO, I doubt it has much to do with heat or pressure. I think it is simply a materials/manufacturing issue. A bit useless for us to speculate, but hey, why not..? I've had my fair share of issues with the Alternate. First with a bad battery, then with random battery drain when left in the unit...

I'm willing to wait for the top cap and give them time to test etc., but I've had my share of problems. Now with the aforementioned crack near the charging port and the continuing charging issues, I'm not sure how to proceed. Even if Vivant will replace the unit, I'm not sure I want another one...

Just noticed a crack that goes from the bottom right up to the bottom of the charging port. I don't know if it's affecting the charging, but, hmmm, not good. Has this happened to anyone else? I've only used this thing a handful of times and I've never dropped it, so this looks like poor materials.

Thanks to the people who have responded so far. I was hoping to get some links from ebay and/or amazon for specific items, but I have more to go on now. Still open to more suggestions though - and hopefully the aforementioned links. I don't worry about getting bad items on either site as i've...

Hey all, I know people have posted a lot of battery/charger recommendations. It would help me out if anyone could post links to ebay or amazon that they've had good experiences with. The choices are a bit overwhelming. Thanks. I found this one, but not sure if it's the appropriate choice...

Just occurred to me - and has probably already been written about - but do top cap cracks make that much of a difference in performance? Sorry if this is an obvious question that has already been addressed.

Thanks! I thought I was doing it in rhythm, but apparently concentrating 1% more seems to help. It's still not perfect, but I'll take the the hit (oh man, it's impossible not to pun here) on this one and say (mostly) user error. It's the the rhythm method (i did it again - and it's not even a...

The 6% figure is interesting. I hadn't seen anyone mention that before. It's hard to get a sense of the failure rate from anecdotal FC comments. If I had to guess, it's probably more than 6%, but that would just be a guess. I do wonder how much intensity of use and intensity of heat played a...

I think it's fair. If you have a problem with the replacement you can let them know. If they don't deal with you honestly then, you could take it from there, but going to your credit card company seems like the nuclear option. I understand being pissed off about the original problems, but, for...

Hello people, This might be long. If it's too long, just let me know and I'll do shorter posts in the future (though most likely I won't have much more to say after this one). First, just want to say thanks for the forum. It helped me make an informed choice to buy the Alternate. I did so...
