I purchased, among other items, a Cree LED Cycling Triple Headlight with a Lithium Ion Battery Pack.
The Light is great even though it was slightly high priced at about $70.00. The battery pack would only hold a charge for about 15 minutes. It is advertised at 3 to 4 hours. I tried to contact them and finally got through to them by e-mail. They said to send the item back to them. I sent the Battery Pack back to them, and after over 5 months they are now asking me to send the Light Head and the Charger (both of which work perfectly well) back to them. They want me to pay for shipping. I keep being asked to invest more money in a DEFECTIVE product. I am reluctant to send the light back because it works fine with another battery pack that I have and I am worried that I will never see the light or the battery pack again. In my e-mail correspondence with them I have had e-mails signed by a different person each time. Nicole, Gin, Shannie, and a few others. With so many people in their customer service department, you would think they could satisfy at least one unhappy customer. At this point if they are not going to send me a new battery pack, then I want MY battery pack returned to me. It is my property (even if it is defective) and I want it back.
As others have noted, they do not want to take the simple approach, and it seems that they are just trying to wear you out so you will go away. Well I believe in principle and I do not want to be cheated no matter how minor the issue is. I have contacted the North Brunswick Better Business Bureau, sent numerous e-mails, and will continue to tell the story of their lack of customer service to any one, blog, forum, website, that will listen. I plan to inundate them with e-mail and will try everything in my power to cause them to cooperate. It is now entering a principle state.

Final thoughts on TMART
AUTHOR: doctormemory - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 20, 2013
I do appreciate that although under duress, TMart actually took the time to follow through with this incident and I finally have an almost completely functional product.
Given that the current AC Charger is not compatible with the battery pack I will accept TMart's offer of a $5.00 Refund. I will modify the Charger myself with attachment of the proper connector, which I have purchased from Parts Express (an excellent company to do business with)
I do not feel that TMart deliberately or maliciously tried to obfuscate the facts involved with this incident. I believe it is simply a lack of understanding and skill in customer service. There is much more to this critical job position than one would think. Timely problem solving is of the utmost importance in this new paradigm of Internet Commerce and just answering an e-mail with a scripted response is just not enough.
As for the lack of technical understanding on their part I would like to question their explanation for the incompatible connectors, when the entire package was re-sent to me as a new product. There was no mix and match going on, so why does the fact that this item might now be from a new source have anything to do with the In Box incompatibility?
Thanks once again to Ripoff Report for supplying an incredible forum for Consumer support.

TMart trying to correct mistake, fails again.
AUTHOR: doctormemory - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, March 04, 2013
After involving Ripoff Report, The Daily News, The Better Business Bureau of Trenton, NJ and other helpful organizations, TMart finally sent a Shipping Label to return the remainder of the product.
It was only the Lithium Ion Battery Pack that was Defective and I had already sent that back to them. Reluctantly I sent back the Light unit, the accessories and the AC Charger. These parts worked fine by the way.
Within a few days I received my replacement Bicycle Light Kit. I could not , however, charge the battery pack because they had sent me an AC Charger with a connector that was not compatible with the Battery Pack connector.
I have other lights and was able to charge the Battery Pack successfully. I then discharged it and it lasted almost 4 hours, the way that it was intended to work.
I am quite familiar with Wiring and electronic equipment so I do have resources, but once again I would still like to have paid for a fully functioning Kit, charger included. However, I am weary of the mindless back and forth with no satisfaction and would like Tmart to simply send me the correct charger without my having to once again return the entire kit
I have attached a photo of the two connectors and a simple explanation.

Ticket ID: 383672
RMA#HF1301232112 , order#21699045 and item #89005454
Photo Caption: The charger connector on the Left is what is needed to work with the battery pack. The charger connector on the right is what was sent. It is to short to make internal contact and it does not have the locking ridge at the base to keep the connectors together when in use.
