it happens I bought into the hype that is Korda, found the majority of their products to be sub standard gave a lot of it away. Then again having used kit that's preformed flawlessly for a few decades and trying Kordas offerings it failed miserably in my opinion. Others obviously think differently.

Purchased a vault £200 had an issue with it and called Ridgemonkey as it wouldn't charge. Was told the battery only has a lifespan of 3 years and as the vault was 3 years old it has expired it's lifespan. So now understand why the instructions detail an 18 month warranty. They would do nothing to help me not even money off a new vault to replace it. So they sell a product knowing is has a 3 year lifespan WTF. I will never be spending a penny on any Ridgemonkey product ever again

I have an Power pack made by Anker that's 10 years old still get 1.5 charges of my iPhone 6plus used it for several years with my 4s and that was 3 recharges .
I really don't understand why people go for Tackle branded Items when we gave so many decent power packs around.

I agree when it comes to power packs, I bought one from curry's about 2/3 years ago for about £50 and still get 4/5 full charges out of it for my iPhone 11 Pro Max which uses a lot to charge it

but its not carpy to buy a not carp designed charger.
I don't get why you can but a good charger for about £40 yet as soon as its designed for carp fishing the price goes up 10 times

i bought one of those tackle boxes, its fine, if i had to make one criticism, i would say the magnets are too strong on the bottom compartment and is difficult to open.

That's ridiculous, I have a couple of Anker power banks & a couple of others that are still going strong after years of abuse.....

. . .these days keep most of my session bits in a 'cuvette' tray in the top of a square bucket . . only use a couple of rigs on my current water so just keep any spare components / a few leads in this - the rest stays in a soft case in the car boot!
Why do we feel the need to carry every rig component known to man when we generally only use a few key items . . .?

If that's an open question mate, i use a larger tackle box with more bits n bobs in it when i'm in France or longer sessions, but 9 times out of 10, i just use a small rig wallet to get me out of trouble if needed on short day or afternoon visits to the lake

Same here. Due to lockdown having to concentrate on a small park lake close to home and I'm just doing day sessions and taking a small Fox pouch with bits and bobs if needed and a small rig wallet with a few leads in the lid of my rucksack. The larger box is very useful for longer sessions and I find it easier to get this out when rig tying at home as convenient to have all components I may need easily to hand, and just take a few rigs out with me each time I fish with a few back ups items for emergencies

More poorly designed and poorly made Chinese tat imported and their name slapped on it. All their gear is the same - I wouldn't touch any of it with a barge pole

Another point with power packs , is the rate of progress.
I own 2 Anker packs, the newer is 2 years old and it is streets better than its predecessor, maybe 4 years older, in terms of capacity vs cost.
Suggest once you get beyond s3 or 4 years old, it may be worth looking around to see what the market has available....

If you spending £20 or £30 on a power pack and it lasts that long (which is what I do and my oldest is now 5 years old and still doing a decent job, but capacity is noticeably less than when it was new) I am happy with that logic, less happy if I were to spend £200 on the RM version to be told it has a relatively limited life expectancy

18 months is a good warranty for battery cells. Most laptops have a 6 month warranty on the battery/cells in the small print. Lithium ion batteries only have a finite life anyway & they will gradually degrade over time anyway. My original Vault must be 4 years+ now & still has more than enough life left in the cells to power my iPad Pro & phone for a week!
