Gaptech Battery Drain

[Hyperion.uk]

Hi,

After fitting in quick succession a Gaptech RCH+, LED interior bulbs and a BlueBus, over the next 4 or 5 days I was faced with something causing a power drain.
One evening I woke to my alarm going off, and when I got to the car I found that the drivers side window was slightly open (it was definitely closed when I left the car) and the battery so drained the car was unable to start.
Due to the open window, I immediately suspected that Gaptech and removed it the following day. For over a week now I have had no further problems with the battery level.
Has anyone else experienced this with a Gaptech?

Thanks Usel
I will shoot off a support request to Gaptech. For the sake of keeping my finger on the button for 10 seconds, i'm pretty sure I can do without the electrical anomalies

Mines been fine for the past four years if it helps!

Not really but thanks for the reassurance. If they offer to replace it then I will try it again.

Well, would seem as though that was a waste of £100 as the seller will not respond to the 3 support emails I have sent.
I don't suppose anyone on here knows the guy?

Chargeback otherwise will get a response I am sure. You have 3 emails as evidence.

I tried the chargeback via PayPay and they refused my case as the purchase was over 30 days old.

The Gaptech fitted to my car went bad after a few years and caused confusing roof and locking issues.

What is your PayPal attached to? When I had an issue, PayPal didn’t want to know but as it is connected to my credit card, the CC company refunded me instead.

It's connect direct to my bank account. I don't have credit cards.

Still check your bank protection that your account has.

It's worth having a credit card for high value purchases due to the Section 75 protection. Much stronger than chargeback.
