[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1933022, member: 175845"] Not so is to go by my wife's e-bike lithium battery which was only just over a year old and had only been charged about half a dozen times, but had to be replaced a few weeks ago by the dealer as it was deemed dead and kaput. But no guarantee really as my wife's neighbor friend has exactly the same bike with the same amount of use and charges and her battery is still working fine. Go figure. Also my handicapped mobility scooters lithium battery pack died and will not charge any longer after it was repaired for the same problem a year ago men with very few charges needed as the gauge said it was fully charged. Not so. At least good old lead-acid and lead-acid-gel-cell batteries were certainly more reliable and didn't need to use any internal battery control circuit board to control their charging and safety, and it is that circuit board I suspect of causing the problems with all lithium batteries we have had troubles with. Now I'm beginning to wonder about the manufacturers and the advice they give for maintaining lithium batteries, but I don't like it when paranoia-type thinking starts coming into the fore. - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
