    Help with “dead” mobility scooter.
    My wife has a mobility scooter.
    It has not been in use during lockdown, and now it appears to have dead batteries.
    By that I mean that the mains charger lights up when switched on, but the charging light does not illuminate. No charge is apparent in the batteries after several hours
    The details of the scooter are as follows:

    Model. STRIDER.
    Model number MN4 BU17
    Battery x2. SLK Power NP 22-12

    Your advice on this problem would be appreciated.
    I am having considerable problems finding any advice, and wonder of a simple battery change would be the answer.
    Kind regards,
