You might try this which has worked for me with stubborn lithium batteries. Put it on the charger until it is charged, take it off for a few minutes and put it back on. Keep doing it over and over and over. Sometimes the charger thinks the battery is charged, but it is not. When you plug it first in, it charges it a little. But taking it off and putting it back on you keep giving it a little more juice until it is 100%. At the point the lithium battery tends to remember it's full charge.
If you can, charge your FIRST battery and check the voltage. Charge the SECOND battery and check its voltage. They should be around the same. If you find that your second battery is LESS than the first battery then you know it's not taking a complete charge.
Hi thanks it doesn't seem 100% in power. The speed is reduced but only about 20%. Hard to gauge accurately but the bike computer shows there is a reduction. The Meter on the handle bar shows a reduction too.
Yes i tried that with the charging about 5 times i think. I did an all night for some of these too. I am thinking the charger they sent with the battery is faulty. Should i try my previous charger?
Hi yes i have thought of checking the voltage and i do have a meter but i have no clue how to use it. I would need some type of diagram. People have tried explaining how to use it with something else and i didnt understand.
