I bought a complete 1500w 48v chinese scooter with 4 dead 12v 20ah batterys.
The guy who sold it too me for $200 was using a 36volt charger? Duh!
New batts in NZ are around $450
I need a new charger too.
Any option ideas? LiIon looks good but I cant even source a charger here in NZ.
I have an unlimited access to used car batts for cheap from my car battery mate, maybe he will order some of the smaller new 20ah sla's for me trade price plus 10% if I speak to him nicely...
If the scoot was 24v I'd remake the battery compartments(2) and use 2 small car batteries. It would cost me $40NZ ($20US) for 2 older batts.
4 is 2 too many to fit under the seat and plastics, weight too.
Ideas anyone? I dont like retail prices, they make me ill.
