Review: Cyclami Pump A2s

[Matthew]

Pump only inflates a 700c road tyre to 50 psi.  Pump was fully charged myself and showed 3 bars.  By the time you get to 50 psi all 3 bars have gone and the pump refuses to inflate past this.  You can turn it back on and get a short period further but then it is totally dead.

As a result these pumps are not fit for purpose.  Either the battery is not 500mah, the max air pressure is not 120 psi as a result.  Battery shows 3 bars after only 10 mins charge yet charge time should be 45 mins.  I can leave on charge for 45 mins and still the issue remains so i have a feeling the battery fitted is too small and not as per description/specification.

 I purchased a different pump at same time and that one rated at 450mah and 120 psi max pressure works as expected from a different manufacturer.

Unfortunately cyclami a2s are not worth buying and I will be having to instigate a return and refund.

Now that I have some more time with the "a3s" pump I bought..... works great, but the battery is total garbage. If left unused for a week the battery will be dead. I'm tempted to crack it open and see if I can replace the battery with a higher quality cell. I bet it is a pretty standard part in there.

I knew it was a gamble when I bought it, and overall it actually works better than expected, but this isn't something you can rely on being ready for action when you need it.

What's the other brand you bought?
