Some free advice would be much appreciated=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6.
I am in France, so out of touch with my normal garages/suppliers etc =
etc=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6Thus more out of touch than usual.
So, my brother-in-law has bought an electric scooter. A fine looking big =
thing that reminds me of the Honda Spacey that my wife occasionally used =
about 25 years ago. A two seater.
This thing is two years old, +/-, so let=E2=80=99s say that the =
batteries are 30 months old.=20
He bought the bike for =E2=82=AC1 so it was hardly a great investment. =
(Delivery cost him an expensive bottle of red!).
The batteries seem to be quite dead, useless. I=E2=80=99d call that very =
odd. Apparently the PO was a bit of an ass and didn=E2=80=99t look after =
bike or batteries at all well.
Nevertheless, stone dead so soon?
I seem to recall a discussion on this list some years back that =
pertained to similar batteries. Are they dead or merely sleeping?? =
Plugging in the charger does nothing. Is there not something clever that =
one can do to jolt these things back to life?=20
A new set of batteries is +/-=E2=82=AC1000:00 which seems a bit =
disproportionate in the circs?
Any ideas would be gratefully received=E2=80=A6..
Thanks,
Simon
