The battery on my wife's PowaCycle Windsor has just given up after almost seven years! Thanks to some very good advice in another section of this forum I've ordered a new Woosh Santana CD.
When we return to the UK (we're on holiday in France) I'm going to put the Windsor on Gumtree. I'd rather get fifty quid for it than scrap it. Apart from the battery it's fine.
My thoughts are that if someone buys it for between £50 and £75 and then has to buy a new battery and charger at £370, they'll still be saving a lot of money on a new one at around £700. It needs a new charger apparently because the latest battery is li-pol as opposed to li-ion.
However, the other alternative is to source a battery from another supplier at a much lower price and sell it as a complete unit with a brand new battery. Are there any such places? China for example?
The other alternative is cell replacement. Is it possible to have the li-ion cells replaced? This means no new charger, so an immediate saving of nearly £70. Does anyone know of a company that can do this?
Thanks.
