Battery Load Issue
If the scooter is fully charged, but the battery charge
indicator dips from high down to low when the throttle is
pulled, this indicates there is an issue with the batteries.
Testing the voltage of the batteries may indicate if the
batteries are charged or not but, does not indicate if there is
an issue with the batteries. To properly test, a load tester
like the one in the photo below must be used.
A load tester will be required to properly test the batteries
under load. However, if the batteries are multiple years old,
the scooter has issues accelerating, or if you experience any of
the symptoms above, then load testing can be skipped to avoid additional cost if needed. Sealed lead
acid batteries have a typical life span of 2-3 years which all depends on how they are maintained. If the
batteries are within this time frame and experiencing any of the above issues, replacement of all four (4)
batteries is recommended.
