Thanks. Nice demo. Also, I went by a local Batteries Plus store and they wanted $90 for two 12V 9AHR batteries so I ordered from the link you provided. Even with shipping cost, that saved me over $50. Also, I went down to Homedepot and picked up some different connectors and they work perfectly, "AMP Female Disconnects" 12 - 10 guage. A pack of them was only $2.50.
Great video thanks! Just out of curiosity why do the connectors need to be replaced? Are the original connectors not reusable (haven't taken the cover off of mine yet to see)?
@@vyws The scooter just wants to see 24v so the connectors don't matter. Most of the batteries for this scooter are F2 connectors so you'd need to get batteries with an F1 (male) connector if you are buying F1 female connectors. I only have a link in the description to F2 connectors, maybe you can find F1 on amazon or maybe on ebay,
The main thing you need is a total of 24v. The mah number is the capacity of the battery so yes, those two batteries would be fine. The next thing to consider is the size, will they fit ok inside the scooter case or is there a plan to mount them elsewhere? Also, I’m assuming you’re talking about SLA batteries.
you can heat up the sodder that's connected to the original batteries and stay with the original clips they need to be resorted back onto the batteries anyway
The stock motor is a 24v motor so you need 24v coming from the batteries. So (2) 12v in series or one 24v battery. The "ah" in 12ah refers to the batteries capacity. It means amp-hours.
You need a 24v power source to run the motor (in this case it means (2) 12v batteries wired in series). You also want the batteries to fit inside the chassis. Two 12ah batteries will big too large to fit naturally. So you can technically get (2) 12v 12ah batteries and the scooter would work fine, but the issue is, where do the batteries go if they don't fit in the chassis compartment?
Got you, I think I can find the 12ah same size as the original 7ah (If ill find ill send you link). Do you know a way to test the batteries? My son scooter drain after 5 min work after full charge, I removed the batteries and I fully charged them than i checked the voltage and its show 13.6V and 13.4V that i thimk its normal but i know the batteries have problem, is there a way to check?
Sounds good. The batteries I installed (and the links in the description) are 9ah capacity and they fit fine. You can probably get a 7ah one for a little cheaper but it seems that both the 7ah and the 9ah batteries are the same dimensions. So why not get the higher capacity? The battery is probably bad. One of my SLA batteries was doing the same thing. I am pretty sure that it went bad because I left it out in the freezing cold (it was a fairly new battery). To get the most life out of them keep them from freezing and keep them charged. To test them, I don't know a great method beyond what you have done by measuring the voltage. There are ways to put a load (like a light bulb) on there and get an idea about the capacity but even if you know the capacity, I don't think you can fix the battery.
THanks so much for posting this video....especially the LINK for the battery terminal connectors. I had no clue what type I needed to buy until I saw your video. you saved me a lot of time. Thanks brother !
LOL...1--please learn the difference between a nut and a bolt ffs. 2--use the proper 8mm socket or wrench on those 2 nuts, not needle nose pliers. Damn.

Testiva Great to hear!
Very helpful and easy to follow - thanks for taking the time to upload this video!
Hope your scooter is up and running!
Thank you! Just what I needed!
So glad to hear it was helpful!
Exactly what I was looking for. Ty!
Glad it helped!
Great video thanks! Just out of curiosity why do the connectors need to be replaced? Are the original connectors not reusable (haven't taken the cover off of mine yet to see)?
They are glued on
Thank you for the video and links. Worked perfect!
Congratulations on the repair!
Can i use batteries with f1 terminals and f1 connectors?
Also, where would you find f1 connectors?

Is it ok to use 2 12 volt 10mah batteries instead of 9mah?
The main thing you need is a total of 24v. The mah number is the capacity of the battery so yes, those two batteries would be fine. The next thing to consider is the size, will they fit ok inside the scooter case or is there a plan to mount them elsewhere? Also, I’m assuming you’re talking about SLA batteries.

FrugalRepair yes, was going to use (2) 12v 12ah batteries
Thanks for a great video, nice and clear and easy to see the layout and process. Thumbs! ;o)
Thanks!
What about 12AMP will it also works?
kibub kibub Do you mean amp-hour? Like 12ah. That is for the capacity of the battery. I don't think you mean amps.
Yes 12ah. The original razor battery its 7ah and you suggested to replace with 9ah and I say what about 12ah? will that works too?

firstinlastout I'm glad it helped you! Thanks for the encouragement.
THANK.YOU.MISTER.NICE AND CLEAR TO. DO
Thanks for your comment!
How the battery are charged? 12 or 24 volts from the charging connector? thx
There are (2) 12v batteries in series so it charges with a 24v charger.
AB not A8
... and we didnt see if anything works ...
360p looks like 720 lol😂
Why is that so rotton?
