Yager battery

I just filled / recharged another of those "sealed" 7ah batteries yesterday. Works fine after 3hr. @ 2.2 amps. Like all the others it was bone dry.

What are you doing with the restored batteries Zombie.

I sell them to the North Koreans. They use them to train monkey guards in child  labor camps. Don't tell PETA! They'll be pissed about the monkeys.

No not really... Most scoots that come to me are in trucks. The first thing is pull the plug, and get a battery on it to see what I have. So I have a few "house" batteries to test with, and MOST times I can salvage the customers battery,and let it charge while I fix the scoot. It saves them the cost of a battery. I charge about 5 bucks for the acid depending on size.

It's OK with me if you sell them to the N. Koreans, just make certain you fill them with pxss.

Those monkeys are tough. Takes more than a little pee to keep their attention.
Don't really care about the child laborers tho... We ALL need sneakers/t shirts.

Update: Battery finally died. So, with nothing to lose I prised off the "DO NOT OPEN" strip and it was 6 little tubular caps exposing six cell that were dry as a bone. Topped with distilled water and put on charge for a day, reinstalled and again have a reliable 200i. Word to the wise: I should have done this a long time ago before the cells got dried up since now max sustained after charging volts is only 12.6 after the surface charge disappears. This means new battery before winter. I checked my wife's Buddy 150 which has had no problem and it was almost dry so I topped it with distilled water and charged and it would sustain 12.9 volts. So remove the "DO NOT OPEN" thingy and put some water in your battery!

At the "DRY" stage I fill with new battery acid. A one gallon box costs about 10.00. For maintenance use distilled water.

[CROSSBOLT]

Yeah, zomb, but you are workin' a shop and it pays to have some 1.350 acid in a box! Word here about "topping": I think that just over the fiber mat is enough, don't you?

Karl

[zombie]

Agreed... For maintenance topping it of with water is best. Most of the chemicals do not evaporate. But a bone dry batt. can be saved with new electrolyte.

Those of you with battery experience. What would be your suggestions for how often (or milage) to check the battery fluid? I have one Yager almost a year old with 5400 miles and a brand new one that has not had it's first oil change. I have a charging cable on the older one and have ordered a cable for the new one. It amazes me that these batteries can take a little charging after sitting for a week and God help you it the mit in light stays on over nite.

[CROSSBOLT]

Cove, I would recommend you check the battery in the old one NOW. If it looks dry, that is, the white separators visible between dark plate tops, add just enough distilled water to make the separators look wet and no more. Then check in a month to see what it looks like. Let it go for two months for the next check if they are still wet. Start looking for a new battery if you have to "wet" it every month. I think mine worked for about a year before it acted up. Its life could have been extended had I checked it sooner.

Thanks Karl, I will follow your advice.

[Covelivn]

Karl, you were so right about those batteries. The 1&1/2 yr old 150 only had water visible in two cells and the almost 1 yr old Yager needed water added. Decided to check every 3000 miles or 6 months.
