    I'd also like an answer as it seems I've been charging it correctly in ezee's opinion but not in d8veh's.

    Is there a reason this one may have blown? I didn't do anything different while charging.

    A way to fix 36v 14ah Lithium battery?

    Cheers mate. I've ordered a pack off ebay. Is it worth swapping out the 30 as well while I'm in there? Does it get very much wear?

    With that setting on the metre it shows as 1. Connected to the green 30 fuse which isn't by the charging socket it shows 00.3 and made a noise. Connected to the red 10 fuse that is by the charging socket it reads the 1. as if not attached at all and makes no noise

    Right, here is the picture, i have took the fuses out. Pick 1 is open case with fuses out roughly located where they are meant to be slotted. Pick 2 is the tester with what i believe it's the correct setting but not connected to anything.

    A way to fix 36v 14ah Lithium battery?

    Thanks guys. Firstly, yes i have always charged the battery while switched off which i presumed was correct, including while doing these checks. Secondly, even after last night's 4 hours charge, just now there was only 1 LED lit and after riding for 5 seconds it completely died so last...

    A way to fix 36v 14ah Lithium battery?

    sorry d8veh but as my post clearly stated i did turn it on. as mentioned earlier, without it turned on it was reading 0.1v and as soon as i took people's advice and turned it to on to test it, it read 32.6v. in clarification, 1) i have attempted to charge the battery for many hours and it...

    A way to fix 36v 14ah Lithium battery?

    Thanks dave but as i stated at the very beginning of the thread the green light comes on immediately, as soon as i connect the charger. The other day i left it on the charger for about 5 hours, all the time the green light was on, after this time it still only showed 2 of the 5 lights on the bike.

    A way to fix 36v 14ah Lithium battery?

    Right, i charged it for about 4 hours, turned it on and checked with the metre. 32.6v was the reading. Tomorrow i should be able to run it down and I'll check again. Do i need to run it down every last little bit? Or simply until it stops while I'm riding it?
