Disappointing Experience
Excellent product, the battery and the overall condition was near brand new. But unfortunately, I ran into some issues. Before purchasing, I was told I could get insurance for it, but when it came time to arrange it, I found out that wasn’t possible. As a result, I had to return it. It was a letdown, especially considering how much I was looking forward to it.

It was ok
Exccellent equipment, they just sent the wrong charger, and had to go in twice to get the correct one. Could go better in customer support, since I was out of the country and needed a reimbursement or a gift card to replace the spend in my country and they said no since it was a refurbished. But finally I got the correct adapter and charger
