Impressive customer service!

I bought a new Lamco low and throw January 25th. I didn’t get it set up until February 2nd. This morning I was doing some camera swapping and noticed there wasn’t any corn on the ground and I had only had a couple Spypoint pictures of squirrels. So I popped her open and the timer wouldn’t light up. I disconnected the battery and reinstalled, and still the timer wouldn’t light up. So I brought the battery home with me. Battery measured 3.4 volts, I charged the new battery before installation and yes the solar is facing south 😉

So I emailed customer support with receipts and followed up with a phone call. Originally they offered to send me a new battery and timer. I pointed out the potential problem is the solar panel. So they agreed but going to ship out a new battery, timer and a solar panel today.

That my friends is how you take care of customers! Best part is they are made right here in the good old state of Texas!

Two years, I think, for my Lamco low and throw. No problems and coons can’t steal corn. Easy to load corn in it. What’s not to like.

If I read that correctly, it seems it only threw for 16 days....? No way should the battery of been low in that short period of time. Am I missing something? Can a bad solar drain a battery?
Sounds like a bad battery or something besides solar.

Good point, I will probably start with the battery and use a voltmeter to check the original solar.

Thanks

An important thing I learned long ago about feeders is to test the battery under a load. It may show enough volts but hit test and see if it drops down a bunch. It will come back up but shouldnt drop several volts. It may work like that but not consistently or over time.

Are the wires from solar panel connected proper, pos to pos and negative to negative? Seems to be a short somewhere.

Thanks for the observation, I’ll throughly look it over once the parts arrive.
