Epoxy?

[Rik]

Goodday you all!

I have gotten my hands on a Gazelle Platinum 36v 13.5AH battery. The previous owner said it was giving him an error which meant the battery was not connected but the indicator says it has fully charged.
I tried measuring the voltage and it read 8.4V, which doesn;t give me great hope for reusing it.

Thinking it might be a bad connector/wire I opened it up to be greeted by a big grey blob, reminding me of epoxy.

My question now is: Has this battery been refurbished or is this normal practice in these bigger batteries for E-Bikes?

Have a great day!

Hey Rik -

I may not be the best help here, but depending upon where you purchased this battery, I know that Gazelle has pretty good support > https://www.gazellebikes.com/en-us/service and https://www.gazellebikes.com/en-us/service/contact

They might be inclined to assist, I would not believe that they would not be if you position yourself as a Gazelle rider?

Hope that thing start looking up with the bike arrangement!
