Hello everyone, first post.
I recently got a fantastic deal on a never-used Giant Revive factory EB (AKA Spirit) gathering dust in a dealer showroom. The only problem is a completely dead original Li-Ion Mn battery pack. It probably hasn't had a charge in several years.
Assuming that Giant no longer offers OEM parts at this point, can anyone point me toward a suitable replacement? Google hasn't been much help, and this is my first EB.
The pack is branded as a 24V Revive Energy Set. The bike appears to use a mostly Panasonic system, and the battery pack (beige) can be removed from the Giant housing (blue) without exposing the actual cells. This is what I'm hoping to replace.
It has a 5-blade power interface on the end. The only markings here are:
NKY183B01
MH72-2679
421A
MADE IN CHINA
It came paired with a Panasonic NKJ024 (A) charger that connects to 4 of the 5 contacts. That number pops up on a few .de sites, but never with reference to a matching battery (that I can find). Since the only charging indicators are on the battery itself, I suppose there's no guarantee the charger is working correctly either.
I'd be grateful for any guidance or input. The three-speed hub on this beast is barely tolerable unless I can get power flowing again.
Thanks.
