Black Diamond JetForce problems
I’ve got a Halo 28 jetforce avi backpack. There seems to be a problem with the battery. Talked to black Diamond about it and they said the battery’s are no longer made and they can’t replace it. Best they can do is a 40% off coupon on a new one. Which is extra lame. Anyone have experience trying to find a replacement? Or am I just stuck with a $1,000 paper weight?

FWIW - there are a number of reviews on the internet for the older BD JF packs that reach the same result. Pretty lame.

I had the same thing happen to my Jet Force and stuck with the same 40% off code. I’m hoping they have an e2 (or some other super cap) system announcement soon.

Not sure where you are located, but in California they would be required to provide repair parts for 7 years from last date of sale. If they can't, I believe they'd need to replace the device. Some other states have similar laws.
If they're not offering a battery replacement I'd push back on it to either get a free or more steeply discounted replacement. These bags are routinely available for 40% off new so that's not much of a gesture, IMO.

The CA law requires repair, replacement, or buyback. I think a pro-rated refund is an option but I don't see 40% cutting it given that the product lifespan should be at least 7 years. I'd definitely call back or email and press a little harder - not supporting products at this level is really ridiculous.

Another BD product issue not made right, and another reminder why BD sucks.
