Hi,
I got 4 new 12volt 12ah lead acid batteries that cost about $110 total.
I need 5 connectors, 2 of them go to the plug & 1 of them needs to have a fuse.
I made the mistake of trying to connect them without any fuse because that one broke. I just used all normal connectors but that caused the batteries to spark & even made small flames a few times.
Now, I have tried 3 kinds of fuses, 30 Amp, 15 Amp & 8 Amp but none of them worked. They were all the glass fuses 6 x 30mm, 250 volt, the only kind that I found available on Amazon. This is similar to what I had previously. There is a holder to put the fuse in that I also bought on Amazon. I contacted the manufacturer, but they did not know what Amps I need to use.
I also bought 4 12 Volt 12 Ah Lithium LiFePO4 batteries for $200. Unfortunately, my voltage meter reading on one of them indicates it is no good anymore & I barely even used it.
I was able to ride a little while with each kind, but the power kept going off then eventually would not power on at all. I checked all the wires & they were not loose. Someone told me there is programming to stop the scooter if the current is off. I'm not sure if I screwed up the electrical components or if it is still able to be fixed.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thank you in advance.
