Which pump did you get? Debating one for my expeds? Do any work on the built in pump in an older down mat?

Has anybody that ordered one of these tried it out yet? I opened mine yesterday and fully charged the battery and it won’t even fill my NeoAir sleeping pad completely. I had to finish airing it up manually.

I charged the battery again overnight and tried to deflate the sleeping pad pad today. I set a stopwatch to see how long it lasts and it shut off at 51 seconds. The thing would be worthless to carry with you anywhere.

Which pump did you get? I the zero for Colorado this year with my Nemo pad and it worked great. Used it for whitetail hunting with an Exped pad and I had no problems either. Filled them both great without needing to top either one off after.

You got a bum one. Send it back. It should do way better than that.

I got a Zero and the higher capacity battery on the way, I'll post up after I test it. I've been running a Tiny 2x for the last couple years and have been happy with it fwiw.

Thanks to the OP for posting the deal.

Flextail replied back and said they are shipping me a new pump with no battery. Not sure why they felt the pump was the problem and not the battery but I’m sure they know their product better than I do. I’ll report back when it shows up.

That sounds like a defective unit to me. I get several cycles on mine with Xtherm. One charge might last the whole season.
