    Ask a friend to charge the battery? Not go away for a "month or two"?

    Be honest, you didn't use the bike for an extended period and the result is the battery has failed.

    Get a new one, but don't buy it from Halfords unless you want to pay top dollar.
  • thank you, Moneyinpititude. Here I have got lots of comments from many decent and kind people, who all said the battery should have been better maintained, but not to buy a new one from Halfords. I think I will follow these advice! I have to now find where I can get inexpensive but decent battery. (if anyone knows...?) probably better go to the Pedelecs forum...?

    I went to the shop yesterday for my bike. Surprisingly, they said that they would give me a half price discount on a new battery, which I accepted. So it was not too bad in the end. Thank you for all your advice here as well!
