Im having trouble finding out what kind of battery without opening it this Chinnese scooter. I dont even know where it is to begin with.
These batteries are all 12 volt, usually 4 to 7 amp hour capacity, and can interchange between either wet lead acid or sealed gel mat type. If you Google the markings on the current battery you will find the capacity and size but even this is not necessary because most are coded with the amp hour capacity right in the part number, the voltage is marked, and you can measure the overall dimensions. In essence just get the biggest battery that will fit in the battery box and you’re all set. Just take the old battery down to Walmart and match up one of approximately the same size. If the replacement is slightly larger just be sure it fits not only the battery box but also within the height limitations of available space on the bike. In some very rare instances when the battery cables are very short you must be cognitive of the polarity arrangement to ensure the cables will reach the proper terminals.
