Thank you all for your advice. New batteries seem to be called for but I'm not sure I can justify the expense for 18 months and about 2000 miles of motoring.
I've heard conflicting reports about battery conditioners, are they worth giving a go?
Thanks and a Merry Christmas
Carl

Mega City car - premature battery failure

Re: Expert battery advice needed - Aixam Mega City
Hi John The seats just slide forward after removing a screw in the outside of the seat , you'll need to remove the plastic cover. Then slide them forward, they can be a pig to put back, its easier if someone can help to line up the seat with the runners. The battery covers come off after removing th...

Re: Expert battery advice needed - Aixam Mega City
Hi just saw on the forum that you have a Mega City, well we have one also and have owned it for approx three years. We've had most major components replaced, luckily under warranty, and have some experience with sorting out problems. We've had the batteries replaced but I'm sure that in the future w...
