Hi all

Eurocar parts always have discount and it 50% off batteries at the moment,  I got a new one for mine last year as it had similar issues to yours and it cost me about £40

If yours has a five Year warranty then take it back and tell them it's knackered. They will be able to test it. They most likely won't refund all the money but should give you some back, maybe nearly enough to buy a new one from eurocar parts.

If the battery has a 5 yr warranty and it's knackered should they not exchange it for a new one !! 

If not what's the point of a 5yr warranty? ??

If you have the reciept...Take the battery back ....They should give you a new one

Had the same thing on one of my trikes...Battery two years old...Three year guarantee.

carparts4less.co.uk is Eurocarparts but has a more limited range, mail order only and (in most cases) slightly cheaper.

The guy that told me even said that you can take parts back to Euro if wrong/faulty.
