Powell, thank you for your response. Here is some information about my kit. The guy that I bought the kit from said that he use to own a business that sold these. He went out of business in 2011. When he moved, that is when he lost the charger. He said that the kit has only 50 miles max on it but it has not been used since 2011. I do want to get this to work but I am scared that I did damage the battery electronics. I used a nimh charger and trickle charged the batteries. Then I was able to charge them again with them hooked together because the charger will charge 30 cells at once. I have been able to get the batteries up to 41v. After the batteries have sat there for a couple of days the charge had dropped to 37v. Is this normal? I have disconnected the batteries from the circuit board about 4 times. I think the after reconnecting the batteries fully charged after 4 times I might have damaged something. The other strange thing is that the battery meter on the display only showed 3 bars each time it worked. I really want to get this to work but I think I'm going to need to buy a new circuit board for the front hub and I have just about reached my budget that I wanted to spend. Was the quote that Rick had given for the new hub with the batteries? I live in NY by the way.
