Does anyone have experience of Hope chargers going to shit after a short while?
I think I'm on my 3rd now and they're fine for a couple of months or so and then they need the charger/battery connecters wiggling a bit to get a connection (have the light on the charger go red). Once they get to this point it's usually only a very short time until they stop connecting altogether.
I've tried crimping or squashing connectors, elaborate setups with rubber bands to apply a bendign force to the connection etc but none of it is a realistic long term answer. Is there a better fix or even another charger I can get that will last?
