hi all,

been away for awhile for various reasons and just come back to using my bike. I have a Freego Eagle with the bigger battery. Not really used it for the last 2 years, but it has been kept charged and in a dry garage. just wondering if it is likely that the battery may have deteriorated and what is the best way of checking it's condition (other than using till it runs out)

thanks for any advice gray

Did you top it up regularly ? Or simply leave it for two years after topping up

If the former you should be ok, prob deteriorated a little but should work.

If the latter then perhaps not

I'd start by checking with a multimeter that the battery reads 42v (or near enough) when hot off the charger
