So I've come to the conclusion I may need to replace the battery of my "Electric Ride" moped type scooter. Now I went to take out the battery to find a black box with nothing on it. So I looked at the charger and here is what it said:
(the first letter looked like a funny L before OLONG)OLONG
Zhejiang Wolong Hi-Tech Co. LTD.
WLE-36V Battery Charger
Type: WLE-36V
Input: 110V~ , 50/60 Hz 100 VA (box with a line through it) 2A,250V
Output: 36V (four dots with a line over them) , 2A (same box) 5A,250V
QUESTIONS:
**It has two fuses, how do I know if they are bad.
These fuses are like twist out and less then one inch long
**Is this giving me any information about the batter?
**Can I tell what batttery I need by measuring its height, width, and length?
**Will the charger give me any indication if my battery needs to be replaced?
**Does my charger need to be replaced?
**Where is a good place to get batteries or chargers? (depending on which is replaced) I'm not famliar with electric scooters. This is what I can say.
Battery charger:
ZH Hi-Tech - company that makes the charger
WLE-36 - the model of the charger
Type - what kind of battery it's used for
Input - plug into any 110v wall socket to turn it on
Output - This is the range of how many volts & amps the charger puts out to charge a battery
Fuse:
If it's glass or clear plastic, you should be able to see a strip of wire inside. If it's broken, the fuse is bad. Test with a multi meter (ohlm meter) and check for continuity between the 2 ends (terminals) of the fuse.
Battery:
The only way to get a replacement is to see if there are #s or letters on the battery, not the charger. If there are no markings, then you'll have to find a dealer that sells your make of scooter.
To check if the battery or charger needs replacing, you need a multi meter that checks volts and a load tester.
Sorry, there are no simple answers. If the lights on the charger are operational, (green and red) it may the battery, however, check the fuses. I have replaced many batteries on electric scooters and always had luck with the following website, which will probably have the stuff you need.. |
