I'm not sure I understand. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a battery tender used to maintain the charge on your battery when you're NOT riding it? If so, you may have misunderstood the issue I'm having. The charging system in my scooter doesn't work (but I can't pinpoint what has failed). So I can only ride until the battery dies (I've figured out how many miles I can go on a full charge). So my hope is that I can ride longer on a bigger battery than a normal scooter battery.

Not being mean or sarcastic, but with all the You Tube video's on testing stator's and the break-down on Scrappy Dogs website on what type of charging system your scooter will have, why are you not trying to fix it? Is there a scooter club in your area to help if you cant figure it out or get stuck? Even our rag tag scooter club will help each other out if needed, and we still do build parties at my house when the time comes. Trust me-I HATE working on scooters but I do so because I've learned how to over time and it can be fun sometimes I guess..... O.k., HATE is to strong-dislike is more like it!

Battery

Yes the tender is a charger and you would have to wait hours for a charge if your battery dies while out riding. Better to have a spare battery. Repair your charging system soon, do not put it off. Just friendly advise. |

I had charging issues with my 150cc, TaoTao.
It turned out to be the Regulator/Rectifier being wired incorrectly. With a full charge, I would get a while of use, before the brake lights, tail lights, and starting would take it's toll. Recharge, start over. I checked the stator and replaced the R/R. with no change. My suspicion was no charging voltage, verified at the battery with bike running. I made short jumpers and moved the connections around until I had charge V, and bright lights (another problem that I really hadn't noticed). Since then, I never had a charge issue again for 1.5 years; just sold the bike, still good. I know you didn't want to hear solutions, but this was monumental to me. Reply or PM if you'd like more info. |
