Looking for New batteries By damin69 (Read 800 times)

Ok Looking for a couple of new batteries.

Would like 14Ah but not with the size requirements have not been able to find one.

5 3/4" long x 3 1/4" wide x 4 1/4" high

This is as big as we can go in my Dads Linhai Mainstreet 260.

Any one have any suggestions on good places to get batteries?

This is the one JR has and it fits. But it's not 14 amps.

You might be interested in this one. Free shipping and a good brand (?):

Weighs only 1.8 pounds. You could give us a good product report as you could be the first to own a genuine lithium iron phosphate replacement battery on this forum.

That lithium battery is interesting. Wonder if anyone has any experience with it? Not sure I am ready to experiment.

You might consider modifying the battery compartment or changing it's location so you can use rather cheap lawn tractor/mower batteries or motorcycle batteries.

Ahh yes. Did like the specs on that bad boy but we sure did not care for the price.... LOL

Todd, I got mine at a Big R store. I also know that Rural King has them.

[gowron78]

scooterran did you try out that battery? Does it work well?

Found one a tiny bit cheaper

Just installed this new lithium iron battery and the old girl started right up when I barely tapped the starter. I'll keep you all posted

Looks like there may be some interest in this battery. Here's an interesting discussion on a BMW forum:

bmwsporttouring.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=669935

It appears that sulfation and decreased battery life due to winter storage or long periods without operating the scoot are not a problem with this battery.

[gowron78]

So I'm not sure if I'm imagining things or not but my scooter is running better than ever with the new battery. Also so you know, the specs are 13.6V 15aH. The motorcycle store i got it from said they have yet to hear a downside to these things and say you could leave these batteries dormant for a year and it won't even lose 10% of its charge. Well I guess the only downside is the price. Got mine for $154.

The lights all seem brighter, starts up instantly every time, the ride even feels smoother. So far so good on this whole lithium iron thing.
