Pictures! Make, model, labels, etc will help.

Also, what happens when you connect charger to battery? Are there signs of life in the battery? If so, what happens when you put the battery on the bike and switch it on?

Yes we need pics of what you have bought.

You will need a multi meter for testing.

If the batteries are old or have been left sititng a long time without use/maintenance then they may well be knackered/dead.

don't be put off hellsfire, there is a wealth of knowledge and help on here and other Forums, have done the same so far with two Oxygen bikes and i'm no electrical expert.
