My first post so I apologize if I’m in the wrong place ....and for the length of the post as well.
I recently purchased an A2B metro as a project bike. The person I bought it from had a Velocity and a Metro. He had only one auxiliary B battery which he shared between the two bikes.
He said he purchased the Metro from a Motorcycle dealer without the main "A" frame battery inside but it did have an auxiliary "B" battery until it began working intermittently and then not at all. When the Metro’s "B" battery stopped working completely he began sharing the "B" battery from the Velocity for both bikes.
Before buying the Metro this week, I tried it with the Velocity "B" battery and the Metro worked fine. He also had the Metro’s original "B" battery that stopped working 2 years earlier so I took it as well.
When i got home, I plugged in the Metro’s original "B" battery. Charger light was yellow for 2-3 hours then went green.
Surprisingly I measure 40-41 volts with my analog volt meter (on the yellow female connector of the B battery) but the bike still does not run when the battery was plugged in. Again, the bike worked with the Velocities "B" battery just a few days ago.
As an added surprise, I removed the black cap where the main A battery should be and it does have the internal main battery inside. But when I plugin the charger directly on the bike frame, the light turns green immediately. Well, yellow for about 2-3 seconds and then straight to green.
Note: I am somewhat handy but very new to electric bikes
Basically, what are my next steps per battery....(or should I start a different tread per battery.)
Tks in advance and sorry again for the length.
