    Good result, more 'fix' than 'screw', although note that the company's name is styled as one word not two....

    Thanks for your replies. Damaged batteries / dead cell(s) was also my concern. 
    However having charged both batteries, both have 4 green (max number) of LEDs alight when pressed. 
    My concern is these LEDs turn off when left alone for about 3 seconds or sooner if the blower is switched on. 
    I couldn’t find anything in the instructions that might explain what this meant 
    Have contacted Screw Fix by WhatsApp and am getting a callback tomorrow 
    That's a classic sign of a damaged battery.

    Good result.
    Nice to see a company go over & above the CRA.
    Life in the slow lane
