I drained my battery and now my LIKE200i will not start. Do I need to replace my battery again? Ideas

Put a trickle charger on it for a few days then test it. I drained a new car battery down to 4v once, but after a 3 day trickle charge it was no worse for the wear. There is always the chance you killed it for good, though.

Open the caps to see if any of the electrolyte has burned off. If it has add distilled water only. If it is empty add battery acid from an auto parts store, and charge. They usually do come back when they are that new.

Most probably not.

Never a bad idea to get a battery tender if the scoot is ever going to sit for any amount of time. Good cheep investment for all two wheeled toys.

To reduce battery drainage while not in use place a rubber mat where the feet of your center or side stand meets the ground.
Tenders usually come with ringed lead adapters so you can permanently install a quick hookup port. I leave mine hanging out the bottom of my Like 200i. Please note that a quality tender has built in safety features to prevent charging when a battery is detected with voltage below a predefined amount.
