Wish I had watched first! Darn, I didn't put the Velcro on to the new batteries. Well, if I have a problem, I'll redo it and use the Velcro! Still have the old batteries. But my arthritic hands hurt to much to deal with all the tiny screws and taking the chair apart again right now! Lol. I was so proud to call my son and say, don't worry about my chair, mom did it all by myself! But I think I'll wait until I see if I have to do it again to put on the Velcro! 🤦then leave that part out! 😂
Thanks for the great tutorial! Very helpful!
same hear and i got nut and bolt version of connections on batteries,traveller lx one
very shakey hands will take me ages to fix dam
Mine is the Z. Chair but was pretty much the same as the go-go except mine had 10 screws and washers to deal with...very tiny ones...thank goodness my screwdriver has a magnetic tip or I would have lost them! Lol
I still haven't taken it apart and put back on the Velcro yet. But know I will have to very soon, just need a few rain free days to get my hands a bit less painful, then I'll do it. Good luck with yours!
Thank you for your excellent tutorial. It made the job super easy.
Excellent tutorial Richard. Thank you.
good grief the dealer wants 300 for a new case with batteries. Im sure glad I found this video and you good folks. Thanks!
Bit late l know,but 2 batteries E-Bay as little as £30 ???
Fantastic view pictures with sub title.
Thi video was just really real❤ly good ,thank you
very helpfull thanks
Thank you.
Thanks for this tutorial. I didn't figure I'd need one, but the first rule is "don't force it" and and just about everything on this unit is very snugly engineered, with screws fastened a bit too tightly and deeply recessed, out of sight. When the leads wouldn't just slide off, or the battery come out easily I came here to find out why. Nice job.
!
that was my problem could not slip the connectors off now I see why, need needle nose plyers thank you
Thank you
Thanks
That looked pretty easy
I get 12AH Powersonic batteries from TNR Electronics for around $70 locally in Socal. I got an 18AH size battery case from Monster so I have a spare high capacity battery and a 12 AH one. Good for an all day Zoo visit. The 18 AH is quite a bit heavier than the 12AH one.
but did the more amp hr bat fit in the same space?? as original case..
Tanks
Damn I don't have this one. I have a similar thing I'm trying to work on but it has wires in the lid leading to the battery I have no idea why but I'm trying to change the cover since the handles broken. The side says buzz around xl I don't usually work with this type of stuff so I don't know if their is a certain sequence or anything necessary for the wires.
You for got one very valuable piece of information. How to remove the box from the scooter????
Velcro
Pull it up
Grab the handle and pull at the battery pack like you are pull starting a push lawn mower
@@RustyZipper And also add a wiggle to that pull. Works every time.
Have you got to take the seat off to get the battery box off
@@maureensilcocks9518 Yes. It's easier that way.
Anybody know where I can get terminal connection replacements for this? I noticed one of my negative terminal connections has corroded and broken on the inside.
Thank you for the video. Do you know if the standard pride 2 amp charger for SLA 18ah batteries can be used for the equivalent sized lithium battery
For a lithium battery pack I always recommend going with the correctly paired lithium charger. Using an AGM charger on them can be possible depending on the built in BMS, but going with a lithium charger is the best way.
Does anybody know where to go to find replacement negative female B1- battery connectors for the Pride Gogo Elite DWR9983H001 JD098/2008? Thank you
That pull out is a in little tuff due to valcro.
I was thinking about buying one of these scooters that needs a battery I'm going to skip the Velcro part
I want to go lithium ion but are 14.8 volt batteries which cause the over volt alarm.
Any suggestions on a fix? I don't want to go lower on volts with the lithium ion.
Unplug the overvolt signal wire?
I was thinking can use two 12volt regulators…
Or use just one on the overvolt signal wire...
Lithium ion batteries should have a battery management system (BMS) integrated with it (if sold commercially at least). The BMS protects the battery from unwanted electrical conditions like overcharging, discharging, balanced cell charging, etc.. If the "over volt" alarm is triggered, that's just the scooter trying to warn you that your [expected] lead acid battery isn't right. You can just disable that signal wire (I'm unfamiliar with this particular mobility scooter but they're all basically the same thing). The higher voltage won't really do anything to the motor or display, they're usually very rugged.
Can you use the velcro over and over ?
Yes, we do re-use the velcro on a regular basis
Its confusing because i ask for battery pack but then the cheapest one says 1 battery is this a trick to make you buy Two
How do you replace the batteries for the Gigi Elster tracker if it doesn’t a attatched to the go go elite cart
I apologize, I'm not sure what the GiGi Elster tracker is.
Hello thank you for an excellent tutorial.can I ask for some advice please? My charger yesterday had a red power light on but no charging light.today the power light is green but no charging light.do you think I need new batteries? They've been plugged in for 24 hours.thankyou
I don't believe the actual power light changes color, to my knowledge the only light the will change from green to red is the charging light. Are you having run time issues?
Hello since I posted my question my son in laws dad has said he will check charger and batteries tomorrow to check if there's a problem but thanks for your swift response
Are all cases like this ca I put 2 batteries in a 1 battery case
If it's a lead acid scooter battery pack chances are it has a pair of 12V batteries in it. Single battery packs are usually lithium and must be replacement with another lithium battery.
where do I find those clip connectors for the battery terminals? Wow
The terminal style shown on the batteries are called F2 spade terminals. The connectors that fit them are called 0.25" spade terminal connectors and they can be found in the electrical section of a lowes or a home depot
I have two at the moment but they are loosing charge quickly does this mean they need replacing
Yes
Can you tell me if it is possible to use 12V 18AH batteries in place of 12V 12AH on my Go Go Scooter? Is there an advantage to it?
You can use either the 12AH or 18AH batteries but it comes down to the battery case size you currently have on your scooter. If you have a case like the one pictured in this video then the only batteries that would fit in there would be the 12AH series (15AH upgrades are available). If you wanted to use the 18AH batteries you would need to get a new battery case that fits them.
The advantage of having a higher AH battery is longer run time and distance traveled before you need to recharge your battery pack.
Yes- More Lasting-Distance and More Pulling Power- I'd get the 18AH batteries and I also Use my Go Go To tow my Lawn Spreader and a 18" Lawn Mower and Mow my own Small ( 1500 Sq Ft.) Lawn now for 4 yrs..up here in Wi. Freedom again and Doing my Own Lawn Again! Saving me Over $700 yr hiring someone and have Planted Bushes with it as well.
what's the total with shipping for the 2 batteries? thank in advance ...(so I can place an order)
The total delivered to any US address is $60.95 - www.techbatterysolutions.com/go-go-elite-traveller-sc40e-sc44e-battery-replacement-kit/
Does these batteries go in a pride go chair
These batteries are very common in the Go-Go series scooters.
The batterylabel says 2x32v/50a batteries, where do I buy them?
Find an Interstate battery dealer in your area. Do not buy them on e-bay or the cheapest place possible
I want to know if i need two batteries for my gogo mobility scooter xL
Yes, this battery pack requires two batteries.
Do you sell battery box new or used
Unfortunately not, we only sell the batteries themselves for this unit.
Just picked up a use gogo elite plus. How does the battery pack come off? This one just the top is coming off.
Is the battery pack for the Elite Plus version removable with a handle as shown in the video, or is it a battery case permanently mounted to the chair?
I also do not understand how to unmount the pack. Mine is the same pictured. I am trying to change my aunt's batteries. Thanks for any help.
Hey, my scooter hadn't been used in over a year so I misplaced the charger I bought a new one, but weirdly enough when it's not even plugged in the light is on. I charged my scooter for a good 24 hours then tried to use it a few days later and it stopped working within 2 minutes. My dial was at the top at the green level and as soon as I pushed the handle to go it went right down and kept repeating this. Is this a battery issue do you think? Or a charger? As I'm scared to take it anywhere incase i get stuck. I'm wondering have the batteries died because it hasn't been used in so long. Any advice appreciated. Also what voltage were those new batteries you fitted? I have a Pride go go elite traveller. Thanks ☺️
I replaced the batteries in my wife's scooter which had the same issue. Its working fine now.
If I buy batteries and do not need can I return, and where do the old batteries get recycled?
We have a 30 day return policy for all of our batteries. The old batteries can be recycled at any location that sells automotive batteries, they will take it off your hands for free.
My battery charger indicator blinking red to green when plugged in. I have brand new batteries in it
I would recommend checking the manual for the charger - that LED sequence means there is an issue either with the charger or the batteries.
I lost my cable to recharge the batteries when I moved from house to house. Does any of you guys know where I can buy a new cable ? Thanks for replying.
When you say cable do you mean the whole charger for the scooter? If so we do have them - www.techbatterysolutions.com/24-Volt-2-0-Amp-Battery-Charger-XLR-p/c43.htm
Amazon has them as well
So does ebay, for £11.98

TY !
Got 2 new batteries recently, worked fine a few times we fully charged it, only ride it for a few minutes to get the mail yet it almost runs out of power..whats causing that? Thank you
If the previous set lasted a few years without this issue (had a normal life span) and this new set is performing poorly right out of the gate then your most likely looking at an issue with your new battery set.
@@HighTechBatterySolutionsInc thank you for responding I appreciate it. I recently bought the scooter used but in good condition. We got it cheap so we didnt mind spending the money on new batteries, but the new batteries are draining, or something else is happening..
@@martyjones8016 … did you ever figure out was was going on with your gentlest used scooter?
@@shaylaster1607 Apparently is it ended up being the charging cable which supposedly was tested fine by a battery place...Just bought a new one
hi which one do I buy
We have a pair of 12V 12AH batteries as shown in this video available as well as an upgraded 12V 15AH set that will get you longer run time in the chair. You can find them here: www.techbatterysolutions.com/go-go-elite-traveller-sc40e-sc44e-battery-replacement-kit/
hi, tell me what type of scooter battery? Li-on?
These are sealed lead acid shown in this video.
@@HighTechBatterySolutionsInc I want to replace with more modern LIfepo4 batteries
What spec screw driver
Its a Philips head screw driver - I suggest getting a long neck version to reach the deep seated screws at the back of the case.
@@HighTechBatterySolutionsInc
Thanks
Got the case apart and find I have bought 2 batteries with different connections to the one I have is there any connectors I can buy
Why aren’t there any lithium ion replacement batteries available yet?
There are a few scooters that use lithium batteries or SLA types, Google it.
How long it take to charge the new battery
When the batteries are new, they typically ship about 80 to 90% charged so you can top them off for an hour or two on the charger prior to usage. After you have run the set down the standard recharge cycle is about 6 to 8 hours
It should arrive lFuly charged..Got a Battery Tester? If not? Install in the Case, Turn It On and See if all the Lights Light Up! I run my New Ones down to 10% Remaining and then Recharge for 12 hrs the 1st 3-4 wks..If Store for Winter?( I store mine for 5 mos here In Wi., After Full Charge, I Put a timer On my Charger Pwr Cord and set to go On for only 2 hrs once a week while its stored.. They've lasted 3 yrs vs the Normal 2.. I replaced mine this 4th Yr/Season with 18 AH new ones..I have another Down at my Winter Mobile Home in Fla. and do the same with it..( I fly down & Back with Free Air Fare Miles and a KFC Lunch goes with me..) ;-)
How to make the scooter go faster Than 4 mph?
My batteries are so swollen, I can’t get them out. Any suggestions?
Well, If you try to Pry them out? Don't Break them Open, Full of Battery Acid. I would take the Battery Box to a Auto Shop and ask them if they can take them out and Give them $10-$20 . If they spill some acid , they can wash it off right away.. Otherwise? Have to Cut the Battery Box Holder Open and probably Spend $100 or more a New Battery Box.. Or take it to a Scooter Dealer and spend more to have it done.
Selna Goodhead thanks for the advice. I have bought a new battery box and batteries.
Hi, when attempting to fit new batteries there's a spark when the red lead touches the appropriate terminal. I'm sure I've followed the battery replacement instructions correctly. Does anybody have an suggestions what's going wrong? The circuit breaker won't reset once tripped unless the leads are removed from the batteries again.
If your getting a spark then you have the batteries wired up incorrectly, it sounds like your completing the circuit which will trip that breaker. Double-check your wiring.
Put a single lead from black to red, then put the remaining black to the remaining black terminal and likewise the reds.
Tough velcro huh ! Easier to get it off battery using scraper.
How do I know when batteries need replacement? What else can go wrong with EV scooters?
Typically its a run time issue that first alerts the user to an issue with the batteries. In terms of what else can go wrong with EV scooters - thats pretty open ended, anything can wrong from a simple fuse to a motor shorting out.
I need some battery
You can find these batteries here: www.techbatterysolutions.com/go-go-elite-traveller-sc40e-sc44e-battery-replacement-kit/
Richard show me the battery
my wires to connect the batteries are not long enough
Thats not one I have run across before, can you try placing the battery in the battery box with the terminal facing the opposite end of the battery pack to see if you get more slack in the wires.
@@HighTechBatterySolutionsInc yes i have turned the batterie facing the other way thank you
my go go elite will not charge at all, no lights nothing. Could it be batteries or charging cord? It is very old but can not afford a new one
When you plug the charger into the wall out let do you get any LED lights on the charger? If so then there is a good change your charger is functioning. If your chair has sat for several years not being used then your most likely looking at a battery issue.
@@HighTechBatterySolutionsInc no lights nothing
@@glove2355 Okay, usually they have LED lights on there that will light up to show there is AC power going to the adapter. If you don't see these lights it normally indicates and issue with the charger. Do you know what the voltage level of your batteries is?
@@HighTechBatterySolutionsInc no, sorry I put it in storage until I can get someone to look at it.
@@HighTechBatterySolutionsInc oh yes , i remember yes when i plugged the cord in it lite up but would not charge the scooter
Bt54rx was
Wow, you didn't even mention or show which battery model number to get!
The batteries shown in this video are a pair of 12V 12AH units you can find here: www.techbatterysolutions.com/go-go-elite-traveller-sc40e-sc44e-battery-replacement-kit
Actually he did, in the 1st 20 seconds of the video, guess you didn’t watch
My GoGo Elite Traveller will not charge, I have tried to press the reset button because the scooter has not been used for a while, the button will not stay pushed in, it just seems loose , I have never let the battery go below red, get you advise please what the problem could be, thank you
It's not uncommon for the reset button to seem loose - in my experience, this means it doesn't need to be reset. I think you might have a set of deeply discharged batteries. Do you have access to a voltage meter to test the resting voltage of the batteries at all? If they are below 6 volts each then chances are your charger will not recognize them and not engage to begin the charging cycle.
High-Tech Battery Solutions, Inc No unfortunately we haven’t got a voltage meter is there any other way we can check the batteries or not or do you advise we purchase a voltage meter?, it is possible that we did leave it to long before the last recharge, I would be great full for any further advice please , thank you
@@chrisjones-rd3lw There really is not a good way to check the batteries without getting your hands on a voltage meter. If you don't have access to one you could always try taking the battery up to an auto zone or another automotive store - they should be able to test them for free while you wait (call ahead to confirm).
High-Tech Battery Solutions, Inc
Hi, we managed to get a voltage tester it read 12 volts, we also tested the charger which was showing green there was nothing showing up that the charger was giving out a charge
So in that respect I suspected that the charger is faulty with this I have sent for a new charger from Ebay
Many thanks for all of your help
@@HighTechBatterySolutionsInc an automotive battery tester will not accurately test this type of battery.
"Adhice"? Is that a word?
It would help if he actually showed us where this piece came from instead of...'surprise' im already here!!
A mobility scooter.
Under the seat 💺 that’s where I keep my batteries
If you have a gogo, then you will know where it , the scooter comes apart into 5 basic pieces.,, geez
don't buy anything but Duracell
Duracell do not make this type of battery
Thank you
