Hello,

I bought a beach hunter ID300 and then made the mistake of lending it to a friend who doesn't know how batteries leak acid...now my battery case and the lower black part are caked in green acid paste... :BangHead:

The warranty is long expired and I've done my best to repair the damage but I'm honestly sick of having to disassemble and clean it every month, I would like to buy some replacement parts, how do I go about doing that, please?

To be clear, I just need a new battery box and the housing for the box with the wires attached, the chip board, control panel and everything else is fine.

Just send it off to Whites and they will make it brand new and not charge you an arm or a leg. The will also pressure test the unit to make sure its all ok.

You don't want them to pressure test your XLT Davers. [emoji12]

Not sure what the battery box is like on yours. Mine (Whites PI)has a plastic box that holds eight AA batteries. I got another one at radio shack that
was an exact replacement. Just a few bucks
