Doesn't stand the test of time

“Doesn't stand the test of time”

Smart unit with good sound quality and I was happy enough with this expensive purchase. After a year of not intensive use the paint indicating the function of the buttons had all rubbed off and so anyone unfamiliar with the radio would not have a clue how to even turn it on! Then the battery lost its ability to hold a charge. How to replace it? Answer from Revo - you can't!
It has to be returned to them for a factory fitted replacement at considerable cost. All in all very disappointing. I'll be sticking identification labels on the buttons and using it from a mains supply from now on as I have no confidence that the replacement battery would last any longer now I have read other reviews.
