Nash Power Metro - 3yrs in and I think my original batteries are nearing the end of their useful . . .being a total div with anything electrical (changing a standard lightbulb is where it ends) . . .
Q - What 'better' options are there available other than swopping out like for like (ie 2x 12V/9ah sealed Lead Acid with spade end terminals/connectors) ?
Don't want to be messing with new cables / connector end differences - just want to be able to use the same supplied wiring connections (1x battery to battery linking cable positive / negative) 1x control box to battery linking cable positive / negative) ie plug and play
HELP! Cheers

In spite of the recommendations on the instructions for the Nash Power Barrows regarding not to use lithium batteries with the product, all the Nash boys themselves have changed over to lithium.

I bought a battery from these guys. Didn't hear a thing until it was delivered and then an invoice (marked paid) turned up by email.
Bit weird nowadays, but I wouldn't fret. Mine turned up in a few days.

Yesterday morning Chris about half past 9 in the morning had the standard emails saying it had gone through and they would email to say when they've dispatched then by 10am had an email saying credit memo thinking they possibly never had stock so I rang them and eventually a guy said try again see if if works but at that point I had 125 notes gone from my paypal so I said I will try again when they refund the money which TBF they did late afternoon, I'll have another go this morning, chap on the phone didn't know why it had happened?

Received - much lighter but otherwise exactly the same dims as previous Lead Acid versions so fit existing Nash zipped battery bag perfectly.
Delivered with half charge but showing full charge on barrow already - supplied with 2x 3AH chargers (which is convenient as you can charge both at the same time) however chargers have no LED confirmation so only way of ascertaining a full charge is charger temperature (assumed cool when charge cycle complete).
May get an aftermarket jobbie as it recommends 60% for optimum storage (me over winter) - any recommendations?
