Title: Battery in trolley.
Post by: 8weekly on March 25, 2013, 04:43:02 pm: A couple of times in the last two weeks my Pure Freedom trolley battery has not charged properly overnight. I go to work and by mid morning it is just about flat. It isn't every time, as last week it wa fine, but mid morning today after a weekend charging I had to abandon work. Does this mean the battery is dying?

The battery is 2 1/2 years old. It's the intermittent failure that's confusing. I was all set to order one last week, but thought I will just charge it and it charged fine and lasted fine. ???
