Lafree Twist Battery Thanks Flecc, I've continued the charge by stopping and starting and obtained all meter lights showing. I'll get the bike tried out. I haven't yet taken the cell pack out of the case but will check the position of the strip when next with it on Tuesday

A friend who knows that I have replaced powabyke cells has asked me to find him a 'new battery' for his Lafree Twist. Upon opening the battery case the cell pack is Panasonic EKE007 24V 6.5 Ah and is marked 03-09. Does this indicate a date? If so, surely the cells should not need replacing with the sort of moderate use they have had? I've tried a refresh but this took only minutes before the charging complete indicator blinked slowly indicating a full charge! I've left the set charging and although the completed light blinks slowly when the first status indicator lights, it does keep charging. It has so far had about 10 hours charging (interrupted overnight) and now seems to be climbing the scale towards a full charge with the charger light glowing constant red for about the first hour after switching the charger on. Can anyone tell me what's going on please?
