Hi, I have an 18 month old Pro Connect and the it is still doing me proud. This morning though the battery played up for no apparent reason. Here is what happened.

About 2 weeks ago bike was used for the last time, as it was too icy and Christmas etc. The battery had 3 dots worth of charge in it.

When I got home I forgot the charger, it was left at work.

Put the battery on today and it was completely dead. Nothing in there. no dots showing up.

Took battery to work, popped it on the charger, and immediately 3 dots came back up and battery seems all back to life.

is there a technical explanation for this, or perhaps it just didn't want to get back to work !!

I do not think you need worry Timelord, the Panasonic battery goes into hibernation mode when not in use for more than a couple of weeks. Puting on to charge brings it out of hibernation, so it should be fine.
