G-Wiz Batteries

9th February 2008 - One of the G-Wiz batteries needs changing. I spent a couple of hours replacing one of the batteries only to find out after I'd finished I'd replaced the wrong one.

It was easy to identify that one of the batteries was failing by using the BMS Monitor software, which is available from the G-Wiz Owners Club. The failed Trojan T125 was battery number six. It wasn't quite so obvious, once I'd got the seats out, to work out which battery was which.

Working logically, there were only two different batteries it could be and it seemed pretty obvious which battery was going to be number one... so I went ahead and did the battery change anyhow, only to find out afterwards that maybe the batteries weren't laid out as logically as I had hoped.

On the second attempt to change the failing battery it took less than 45 minutes from start to finish.
