OK great thanks. For now what I've done is wire up a cut-off switch between the two batteries so that when I charge them (individually) they are not linked in any way. I've also wired some terminals outside the scooter so I don't have to take the thing apart everytime I charge it. It's very...

OK thanks. It seems what you're saying is: 1) You can wire them up in series and they will work fine as a unit. 2) Charging them in series could be an issue so probably best to charge them individually. If I was to take the chance to charge them in series - would this charger be the right...

There is one charging point on the scooter. The batteries are positioned within the structure of the scooter and it's a bit of a pain to get them out. To charge them separately would require some amount of new wiring or taking the scooter apart everytime I wanted to charge them. I am still...

In fact I am starting to wonder if it's even OK to wire these up in series.... If you're saying you can't charge them in series with a 24V charger because any one cell may get too much voltage - then doesn't that imply that to even have them run in series would cause the same thing? Thoughts...

Hmmmm. OK. No idea if the batteries have a BMS. Here's what they look like: (are you sure I can't just wire them in series and buy a 24V charger?)

Or is the simple answer that I need to buy a 24V lithium-battery charger? Costing it would appear on ebay about £8.

Greetings. This is actually about an electric scooter I have - but I am assuming the technology is the same as on a bike - well I am guessing there are plenty of people here who will have an idea how to help me (I also do own and use a very nice Haibike electric bike which I claim as my...

You being optimistic? Come on. Steady on.

Well. That was all very interesting. Trying to figure out who 'won' this negotiation was reasonably simple - the press conferences told the real story of who had won most. Ursula von der Leyen and Michel Barnier looked as if they were delivering memorial speeches at a funeral. Mrs Von der...

Ha. Like 14.3m people in the UK are actually in poverty! Right. You can't make this up - but it suits some people to believe this sort of thing (it all comes down to how they skew the definition of what it is to live in poverty - some of them take it to be anything up to 80% of median income...

No.

Because the Froggies could do it cheaper for the same quality! Doh! This OG is called market capitalism. It's what's brought down world poverty by 1.25 billion people since 1981.

You really have no idea who is here do you? Could you tell us which of us (already) here voted leave? Which of us supports Farage for a knighthood? Which of us (again already) would have voted for Trump not Biden? No. You've no real idea. You assume we're all the same and from your own...

Sorry - on a roll about Amazon... Presumably all the real problems in the world are solved now that we’ve got people whingeing about convenient retail. Which is what is happening here with the new Amazon Must Pay campaign (anybody heard of this?). Technological change now means that retail...

See that's called competition - and the consumer always wins.
