How do you charge a scooter's battery?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

You'll need to determine what voltage it is, I imagine its either a 12 volt or possibly a 6 volt. Then you'll have to get a charger right for battery voltage. Ebay is good for these. Charge the battery for 12-16hrs. You'll have to remove the little cell plugs on the top while it charges and leave it in a well ventilated area until it's finished. Then wait 2 hrs and replace the plugs. Keep an eye on the fluid levels too, they need to be kept topped up. (you can buy battery water from an auto store)

Answer 3

You will want to pick up a Delron Battery Tender Plus, It won't overcharge the battery and ruin it.
I have 2 and use them all the time.

Answer 4

You can always get a cheap battery charger from Walmart, but your best bet is to get a Deltran Battery Tender Jr. Once the battery is fully charged, it will turn itself off. That way, you don't over charge the battery.

Answer 5

24 hours

Answer 6

Presumably it's a 6 volt? Get a battery charger, connect plus to plus and minus to minus and leave it overnight. If it's a water-filled battery rather than a modern sealed one, pull off the little cover while it's charging (it wouldn't hurt to make sure the water levels are correct too).

Answer 7

Yes if the battery is low it will need charging .

Answer 8

With a battery charger.
Coleman makes a portable charger that fits under a scooter seat or in a top case.
It holds a charge for an instant jump start.
A trickle charger won't jump start your scoot.
