I also agree.
The only one I ever bought, I paid way too much for. $149.00 at the time.
It came with a 15 cent tactile switch. I priced them online, $15.00 for a bag of 100 of them, they were the exact same tactile switch, which is rated for only 50 milliamps, hardly enough to handle 2 amps of current.
The tactile switch lasted all of two weeks, if that long. It also had a resistor to cut the voltage from 6 to 5. The resistor used was proper for this purpose, but the unit had bad/cold solder joints and the resistor was mounted in a way that it eventually shorted out against the wall of the battery mod body. So what I got for $149.00 was an aluminum tube with an adaptor.

I went down to Radio shack and spent two dollars for a switch of proper amp rating, dremelled out the switch body mount so the new bigger switch would fit, replaced the resistor that had shorted out and now I have a 5 volt battery mod that has been working flawlessly for over 7 months.

IMO - Rushing a product to market that is not sufficiently designed and built to perform as it should, may make you some money now, but will kill a business in the future.

I am not going to mention what I do, or who I work for, but I will say that,
in my company we go through such great lengths to ensure our product will always meet or exceed our customers needs, we offer 30 year warranties on everything that leaves our doors. And all of our products are ISO certified and goes though rigorous QC testing to ensure it is defect free.
With this attitude and approach towards product quality and backing we have built a global billion dollar corporation that is well known throughout the world by customers who require our products.

I have come to expect this same level of excellence in everything I buy, but I am sad to say, I seldom am satisified in this respect.
