Wanted - x3 12v 12a Batteries for Electric Bike

Banshee · 29-03-2015, 22:16

My Mom has an electric bike that she hasn't used for a few years which has been under a sheet in the bottom shed, I've opened the battery case up that houses the batteries and all 3 are goosed

I need x3 12v 12a batteries and cheap, I'm trying to do this on a budget this month :/

I looked at my normal places, and such batteries sell new for between £25-£28 each.
But if she is registered disabled, am I right in thinking you don't pay VAT

You might find old electric golf trolley batteries are similar, or if you want second hand, maybe mobility shops, or those that rent out mobility scooters, might have a throughput of replacement batteries. So keep the old ones and part ex them with the shop, then he can balance his returns... just a thought.

Zak,
see if you have any idle UPS units, they could contain what you need!
