Flecc, a very kind man from my local garage has replaced the fuse for me and refused to let me pay anything! I watched him do it and was glad I hadn't tried it on my own, although I might be willing to have a go now I've seen it done. Battery is charging as we speak. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for this helpful reply Flecc. I will pursue the auto-electricians route rather than having a go myself, as this all reminds me of a recent ipod battery replacement misadventure, except bigger . . . .

Hello all, I hope I am posting this in the right place - apologies if not. I am pretty sure I have blown one or both of the fuses in the battery of my Salisbury and it won't take any charge now, although the battery is only half full. My question is, how easy is it to open up the battery, take out the blown fuse(s) and replace them? I can easily buy the replacement fuses from Maplins once I have the old ones to match, but I am a bit wary of opening up the battery casing and doing further damage, or not being able to close it up again, or getting a big electric shock or something! I would be really grateful if anyone could advise before I embark on this. If it's going to be difficult I am happy to pay someone else to do it, but I'm not sure who does this sort of thing, as the shop I bought it from isn't nearby and my local bike shop doesn't do electric bikes. So any ideas on what kind of tradesperson I might approach would also be welcome. Many thanks
