The Scooter Store

A Google search for "The Scooter Store batteries" yields several results. One good hit is:

For the "Hoveround", it takes two 12V 33AH Batteries:

You can try Batteries Plus. They will make one if they don't have one. They are on the expensive side but perhaps your insurance will pay for them.

BTW: Can you post the model number of the batts; and/or take a picture and include the voltage, capacity (in Amp Hours, "AH"), and physical dimensions? Also the type (NiMh, Lithium Ion, NiCad, etc...) The picture will help with terminal identification. Hopefully they use a standard battery and the model number can be x-referenced to other manufacturers.

Good luck.

Most N.American cities of 1 million population support at least one specialist battery store, which can usually provide replacement batteries for anything from a hearing aid to a battleship.

I wonder if primecell would be any help. They rebuild batteries. There is also something called mto battery.

Thanks all. I do wonder tho, if the charger is any good. My meter seems to show zero output but that may mean nothing since there was np load.

I'll check the battery info you guys supplied/

Some "smart" chargers do not charge if they don't sense that a battery is connected. I've had that cause problems for me with totally dead batteries.

I'm inclined to think that any combination of deep cycle batteries that result in the correct voltage and you can fit in the space will work.

Hi, Look at his email address, Is he in Taiwan? First we have find out whether it is charging or battery problem.

Since most of us have never had reason to dig into one of these machines, telling us what sort of battery pack it uses would be quite helpful. What is the voltage? Is a current capacity shown? What markings are on the outside? Can you post a photo somewhere?

If they are sealed lead-acid batteries (which I suspect) then there are only a certain number of sizes and terminal configurations and all of them are available online from various suppliers. If the battery packs are Nickle-Cadmium or Nickel metal hydride then some rebuilding service will probably be your best bet -- the cells that make up the battery packs come in a limited number of sizes and any decent rebuild shop will have or have access to all of them. Of course, if the charger is not working having good battery packs won't help much so, if you can't check out the charger yourself, some outside help might be called for. Some of the more intelligent chargers demand that they be connected to the proper load before they will do anything.

Good catch! I confess this OP is a Mandarin-speaking US caucasian. Full name Wei-Lien-Shi. How 'bout that?

Anyhow - I can't locate my manual for this power chair, but examination of the tags/labels tells me it is a Pride Mobility Products model TSS300 (actual model # AE244000 or A24030-9C). Its motor is tagged 24UDC. The batteries seem to be labelled model BATLIQ1017, and are 5"W X 7"L X 6"H . I assume they are 12V.

I have found what seems to be the cheapest battery at

Can you tell me what NB terminals are? My chair's battery posts are

And a possible charger at

But my charger might turn out to be okay, once I get good batteries.

PS I found the manual at

and printed it.

???! If I were you, I'd take the batteries out or disconnect the terminals and try to charge them with another battery charger. What's the voltage on them? Two batteries in series or parallel wired?

Hi, NB terminal means type of terminal w/o binding, clip on type.

All these typically use some number of batteries in series. The controller s and chargers are pretty common across a lot of these units. They tend to be 24, 36, or 48 volt set ups. Also similar to stuff found in electric go lf carts. I agree about charging the batteries directly, you can charge th e individual batteries one at a time. I would disconnect a lead before doi ng that.

Series I think (24V from two 12V).

Wei

Oh

I was thinking - Can't I remove the two supposedly dead batteries from the chair and try charging them individually with my car 12V charger? That would tell me whether they will hold a charge wouldn't it?

Wei

Hi, They may be both bad or only one is bad.

Yes, I certainly would do that.

Let ya know

You don't have to remove them, just disconnect the positive leads.
