It gets even better, all the parts on the car are still working I'm amazed the Sidewinder (and the other electronics) didn't give in to the massive current that went through it! My compliments there, it seems like it payed off to buy A Brand electronics.

Anyway, I still remain with the problem that the battery doesn't work. I really hope Team Orion will help me out. If they don't I will consider opening the case so a student Electrical Technician can help me replace or by-pass the broken fuse. Doing this however means I will arrange some equipment for basic protection, and some research into how they can be opened with the least amount of risk and effort.

Being as odds are that battery failure is a result of something the user has done wrong, I've seen very few instances where battery manufacturers will warranty their products (other than from new). Good luck.

Otherwise, here's a link to a video I once saw on repairing yours yourself, if you're handy that way - hope it helps.
