Hi. I bought the xDSD back in October of last year, and have had problems with it off and on. For one thing, at lower than 75% battery, it refuses to power my Focal Celestee. At > 75% (i.e. white light), it will usually work. I say usually, because rarely have I seen something as finicky as this...
