If I remember, your first one had some issues.



Ed- My first one was definitely a dud! It worked fine for about 5 liters on a trip, then quit working. When I got home I fully charged it, tested it out and treated two liters before quitting. Katadyn replaced it (never even sent the old one in) immediately. Before heading afield I treated ~ 40 liters (recharging after about 20 liters) and didn't miss a beat. Since then I've treated 40+ liters in the field without a hitch. I get ~ 15-20 liters treated before it needs recharged. Still bring a dozen aquatabs as a backup, but I do that with pumps too

Buddy bought one of those when it first came out. His was a dud right out of the box.
