There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The frunk tub, referred to in the operator's guide as the basket, must be removed to gain access to the battery. The plastic rivets are actually two piece push pin rivets that are removable and reusable. If you examine one of the rivets you will see that it is composed of an inner and outer piece with two grooves in the outer piece that a small flat blade screwdriver can be inserted into to lift the inner piece out when the inner piece is pulled out to its maximum the whole rivet can be lifted out.
Once you have exposed the battery you may charge it per the instructions in your operator's guide. Personally, depending on the age of the battery I suggest having it load tested as there's no sense in charging a battery that's on its last legs. At this time it would be advisable, IMO, to procure a Deltran Battery Tender Jr. that comes with a pigtail that you can attach to the terminal posts of the battery and route it outward to a convenient place where you can easily connect it to the battery maintainer when not riding your Spyder.

When you reinstall the front tub (basket). Don't install the plastic rivets. Not needed.
