What we do with out Ebay

I know. It's incredible. I needed a really random battery. Didn't know what it was called or anything.

So, I just searched for "9vN4XC63a" or something, and in 0.0034 seconds - the exact same battery available from 20 vendors. Same make, same connectors, same dimensions, same colour and writing.

I needed some bike brake pads (disk type) that all the cycle shops said "no way, never in a million years".

Just searched "Alongha SNG Bike Disc Brake Pads" and the exact item appeared - same serial and everything.

Whatever you need - someone is selling.

I bet I could put in just the serial number of almost anything and in an instant get exactly the right model down to the very last detail. It's actually more efficient not to "describe" the item anymore.

Ooooh, thankyou for your replies all!

It turns out that going by what Andy put, then y'all afterwards, I luckily hit on the right one. Mine is 12v 500mA & it's doing the job, as now up to 50%.


Sooetie & Edge, you now have a link to what you need, so you can now revive your powerpacks too.

I've got one of those - probably a different make and its yellow. It originally came from my mum's garage when she moved so I think the charger went out with the rubbish
If you find something that can charge it please tell us as I have tried all sorts of chargers but they don't charge it enough.

It's usually a ~14Ah battery in those, and the original wall-wart charger puts about 0.5A into them at around 15V or so.
If you lose the charger, an ordinary battery charger clipped onto the jump grips will do the job fine - just bear in mind the capacity of the battery and keep an eye on the charging gauge.
Modern smart chargers are much better, of course, and you could leave one connected to just get on with it until the green light comes on.

Find me a right wing mirror compatible with a Barossa 125, and it MUSt have at least a 10mm long 8mm thread and a nut at the bottom, not a stupid little cover

Hi,
Don't forget these things take ages to charge. I usually start mine charging about teatime and it's ready for use by the next morning.

It is taking a good while & being a safety conscious so & so, I unplugged overnight. After a bit more charging this morning, it was about 60% charged, friend has it now, needs it for Monday, so will continue & hopefully it will do the job.
