    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    I'm amazed that I haven't heard about anyone claiming compensation from Cloudstrike. It wasn't Microsoft's fault but it is their problem as Windows shouldn't allow user code to run at a privilege level to cause a kernel panic. It's the design of Windows that is the issue. Apple have addressed...

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    Thanks for the pointers. I haven't got time to take the batteries apart this evening so will report back tomorrow. I did fish out my digital multimeter & can confirm that the two chargers are both delivering 42V. For the battery that dies after 50m it's 39.8V on the charge port & for the one...

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    I just used the same word that he used in replying to me. What's sauce for the goose... I asked for a way of reviving the batteries & I appreciated the response. I tried leaving the battery charging for 24 hours but it made no difference as it still died again after 50m. I then mentioned the...

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    Thanks for your suggestions but I didn't ask for an alternative solution. I first asked if the battery could be revived. I then asked where I could get a battery for the bike for £300. I just want a replacement battery. I don't want to replace the rack & have to rewire the bike. I have just...

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    What's involved is not sliding the dead battery off the rack mount & sliding the replacement battery in its place. This is what I want to do. I don't want to fit a new rack & have to re-wire the bike. Instead of ignorant replies that don't acknowledge what is involved can you point me to an...

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    I think that my best bet might be to get two discounted genuine 375wH Wisper batteries for £255 each https://winstanleysbikes.co.uk/wisper-375wh-rack-battery

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    They will fit just about any bike only if you replace the rack & rewire the bike. They are not a replacement battery that I can just slip onto the existing rack.

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    I have found a seller on eBay who claims to be able to re-cell Wisper batteries but doesn't state the price & wants £40 deposit just to look at the battery. They also are pretending to be a private seller while clearly they are a business which is a bit dodgy. Has anyone used this service...

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    What was the point of listing “alternative” batteries that won’t fit our Wisper bikes?

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    It doesn't look like any of those are a replacement battery for a Wisper. Even if they were Wisper compatible none of those are even UK suppliers. I'm looking for the same quality as the batteries that came with the bikes not batteries of unknown quality from some dodgy eBay seller in China or...

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    Sorry, I wasn't clear in my second post. Not only is the battery in my Wisper 705 dying after 50m but now the battery in my wife's Wisper 705 (that we bought direct from Wisper three years ago) is completely dead with no lights & doesn't respond to charging. There was no warning of any problem...

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    I was referring to replacing the two batteries at £500 each direct from Wisper but I see that you can find these batteries at £425 each which is still £850 for the two. https://winstanleysbikes.co.uk/wisper-575wh-rack-battery Please can you provide the link where these batteries are available...

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    It sounds like the same issue. Maybe this is just the way that Wisper batteries deteriorate & die. I emailed Wiper support & am waiting for an answer. The battery in my wife's 24" 705 appears to have died completely. There are no lights & it won't charge. Fingers crossed that Wisper can do...

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    I was charging the 575Wh battery on my Wisper 705 yesterday. I wondered how much charge the battery had so pressed the battery test button while it was being charged. I saw four green bars plus red at right which is normal for a fully charged battery but then it just had one red light & started...

    My personal observation from living part time in France since 1997 is that while in general there are far fewer obese people than in the UK that the numbers have been increasing over the years.

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    I used to get about 30mpg out of my old 1963 850cc Mini. That wasn't my heavy right foot just the sort of fuel consumption you got back then with even a tiny car like the original Mini.
