Very bad experience with item - Armasight Predator 1.5x25mm Thermal Imaging Rifle Scope

I ordered this item and received a model which had impaired power capabilities (reticle disappearing after battery was at half power) and exchanged it only to receive a model which had the same problems. I later took this model out into a light rain and it stopped working the next day. The item says it is "water resistant" but this is in fact meaningless. In light rain after only a couple of rain drops I had a scope that does not even show a thermal image anymore. I am currently trying to get my funds back for the defective item and the company is fighting me every step of the way.
