New Whites TDI Beach Hunter


Recommended Posts

Any word from White's engineering if the new TDI BeachHunter can handle the 14.4v Li-ion (Reidman) battery? I'm assuming it's the same as TDI SL and there is no voltage regulator?

Unfortunately mine has gone back for repair. I got it on the Tuesday, used Wednesday for 3 hours and recharged when I got home. 

Went Thursday machine working fine, switched off after 2 hours to talk to my buddy, then the machine refused to turn on. 

I tried the alkaline pack just in case I had a faulty charger,  but no. 

Whites of Scotland collected it next day but couldn’t send a replacement as they hadn’t any. 

Bummer!

Please keep us updated if they get back to you with a diagnosis.

Can I ask what battery you were running at the time (please feel to PM me on this matter ?)

Thanks,

Tony

Hi Tony, I was using the rechargeable pack and it was fully charged. I rang the engineer on the drive home and he suggested I try the alkaline pack in case I had a faulty battery or indeed charger. 

This I did to no avail, I also didn’t get a low battery light so thought it was something else. 

Ill keep you informed when I hear from Whites further.

Tdi beachunter on its way back from Whites, it was nothing more than a mini connector popping off the board. It is reconnected, pressure tested and they assured me it won’t happen again. 
They think maybe the parcelforce couriers handling was a bit rough and it was loosened and the connector only just touching when I got it. Excellent service from Whites once again.
