Could this be a lead-acid battery?

Thank you. I suppose the Philyons are beyond recall? Maybe 6 years since they were last used. Out of the single one is coming 0.3volts.

Those cells will even show 4.2V when knackered, but at 0.3V, you can bin the whole lot, except maybe keep the key-switch.

Indeed, they were never long lived. None of the three I had reached two years, usually failing far short of that.

Looks like Kirstin doesn't have to eat his hat after all. Blast!

Thank goodness for that!! What with this, the rugby and the arrival of my EU passport (as a dual national) its been a great week!

I can attest to this as, despite being told by vfr, I still spent ages reviving all cells in a similar pack back to 4.2v slowy and painfully. Then reassembled pack, hooked it up and drove off. About 10 yards before 42v became about 15v. I think the case is in the shed still

Thanks for all your help. I'm now waiting for a new 36V Samsung cells pack. But, because the sender (in Poland) uses GLS Delivery, I might be lucky and get it before Christmas!.

GLS are usually quite good, I select the GLS option when using Nkon and arrives in 4 days.
