Our Battery Super Reviver can address most batteries that suffer from this.
There's probably one not too far from you.
Send me a message if you would like detailed info.

The cause seems to be a glitch in the Battery Management System (BMS) likely caused by a brown out or blackout.
Then the battery does not charge properly ( for some months )
Eventually the battery depletes.

The work around ( before you get to this point ) is to put it on a timer.
That way the charger re-starts ( say daily ) and runs for ( say ) an hour.
Thus the battery never gets to deplete.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. While it’s warming, I checked the voltage with a voltmeter. 62 volts in the front, 42.2 in the rear. That’s it - the rear one is too low to recharge.

I’m going to put a 60v, 100mA charge on it and float it up to 50+v. That should be plenty. I don’t expect any permanent issue - this was just because the power blip locked up the charger it appears. The worst past is that I actually have it all plugged into a timer - but the switch is in “bypass” mode. Gah.
