    Battery unused for 2 years is now completely dead

    it is the bms you might be able to salvage the cells but thats about it as bosch do not sell the bms and even if you got one from a working batt as soon as you cut power to it it bricks the bms as why no one will recell them.

    Battery unused for 2 years is now completely dead

    the batts have a small onboard bms that uses power from the batt so it can keep the can bus programming so not using it for 2 years means the cells have drained flat and bricked the bms. a company in Germany can recell these packs but with postage and duty it is cheaper just to buy a new bosch...

    it is the free hub that the cassette sits on what has failed the ring that holds the paws in place snapped so it was only engaging with one of them and as it is a 12spd cassette it has totaled the bearings as it is really stiff to move buy hand. the wheel hub and bearings are fine he just needs...
