to the cell? Similar type tests can be performed using a 24 volt battery cell, too.
WARNING! Batteries contain acid that can explode, or the vapors ignite from an arc. Batteries produce
current and voltage that can burn you when a shorted circuit occurs. Be absolutely sure you know what
you are doing before trying any tests to eliminate a component from consideration of being defective!!!
3. You can take the battery to a shop capable of testing the battery under a loaded
condition. Fully charge the battery and carefully remove it. Let a technician determine the
condition of the battery for you.
4. We absolutely recommend a high quality Battery Charger as sold on our scooter parts
page.
Troubleshooting: Scooter Takes Off, Will Not Stop
A) If the scooter is moving when you turn the key to the “on” position without turning the
throttle you will need to replace the throttle or control box.
B) If scooter takes off without turning the key to “on” – you need to replace the control box
Scooter not moving and Lights do not work using battery, but lights do work when you plug
the charger into the side of the scooter and also plug the charger into the wall-Scooter will
not move at all and all lights do not work (lights do work when you plug the charger into
wall):
A) No fuse in fuse assembly= add one of the fuses includes with the scooters
B) Bad Fuse= unscrew the cap only on the fuse holder. Remove the fuse and make sure
that the fuse is not blown (a good fuse will have a solid wire from one end to the other, a
bad fuse=the wire inside is broken)
C) Bad fuse holder = fuse assembly may be cracked or have a bad connection within it.
D) Bad control box
E) Possibly bad battery, although this is rare.
F) Wires behind fuse assembly have come off due to improper replacement of fuses or
loose wire connections to the battery. This is always due to the customer rotating the
whole fuse assembly (when changing fuses) and twisting the 2 wires that are in the back
of the fuse holder. You must open up scooter and reattach these wires to back of fuse
assembly or to battery and control box. If this is the problem the lights WILL work when
you have the charger plugged in.
