Hi,

I hope someone can help me out on this. I've bought a second-hand Injusa Ride on motorbike for my son but it has no charger.

I don't even know if the battery will charge, or if the bike works so I was hoping to test it before splashing out on a charger and/or battery.

Has anyone a 6V Injusa charger I can borrow/buy, or general 6V charger with clip on connectors that I could try?

Cheers.

I have one very like this -

- I've never used it on the 6V setting, but I imagine that it will work.

Largish croc clips on the battery end.

PM me a location.

Hi, thanks for the offer, it might do the job although I'm not sure largish crocodile clips will attach very well to the terminals. The battery has two flat blade terminals less that 1cm wide and not very thick so if the clips are strong they may bend.

I guess there's no harm in looking though.

I'll PM details.

I suspect it will do the job - gotta be worth a try.

If the charger does the job, then Lidl has around twenty of them in at the moment - £13:99 - it didn't seem necessary to hide one at that sort of quantity..

Thanks very much. I'll see how I get on. I've left it charging but only the power light was on, not the 6v or charging light. I'll let you know.

Poke the Mode button - I can't quite remember how it works - I think that will light the 6V LED indicator - we should have had a go whilst I was there, really, I suppose.

Yeah, I had a quick look at the instructions before I went out. I pressed the mode button which briefly flashed the LEDs for the 6V and Charging icons then went back to just the Power LED which, as you say, is just standby.

I'll give it another go over the weekend and see how I get on.

I've read that if the battery is completely flat the charger cannot recognise it and won't charge. I might have to find some way to trick it in to thinking there is some charge still in the battery.

Mmm, I have an old-style 'real' charger that will ignore what's in the way and just put out about 7V. Not ideal for sealed batteries, but it may get it going enough for the new one to take over.

I think I've cracked it! The lights are on in the correct places anyway. Will leave it overnight and see if it finishes charging.
