Cruiser S- Battery Troubleshooting and Replacement
Battery Troubleshooting
1. Voltage Concerns:
-
Full charge: 54V–58V is normal.
-
Voltage depends on weight, speed, road conditions—slight fluctuations are normal.
-
More info: Battery University – Voltage
2. Checking Battery Health:
-
Use the voltmeter: healthy range is 39V–59V.
-
Below 37V → battery may need replacement.
3. Common Issues & Solutions:
Replacing the Cruiser Battery
Step 1: Open the Scooter
-
Remove the top cover: 5 M6x20mm screws + 10 M5x10mm screws.
-
Remove the front deck cover: 4 M5x15mm screws + 2 M4x15mm screws on the side.
-
Pull out the wires carefully from the front opening.
Step 2: Disconnect Old Battery Wires
-
Locate the thick red and black wires from the controller and unplug them.
-
Locate the thinner red and black wires going to the charging port and unplug them.
-
Once all 4 wires are disconnected, you can remove the battery.
Step 3: Install New Battery
-
Remove the old battery (it may be taped down—pull carefully).
-
Place the new battery with the label facing up and wires on the left side.
-
Pass the wires through the gap:
-
Thick wires → controller (sparks are normal).
-
Thin wires → charging port.
-
-
Arrange wires neatly so the controller fits easily.
-
Close the top cover (replace all 15 screws).
-
Test the scooter (lights, motor, etc.) before fully closing the front.
-
Once confirmed, close the front completely.

| Issue | What to Do | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Battery voltage drops quickly | Check for water damage. If yes → replacement. If no → get video for technician review. | Warranty replacement possible if confirmed. |
| Voltmeter stays on | Replace the voltmeter. Free replacement if scooter is <30 days old. | Ensure customer is comfortable replacing it themselves. |
| LCD shows 100% constantly | Check P1/P2 settings (P1=43, P2=17 or 15 for 600W). If issue persists → LCD replacement. | Determine if covered under warranty. |
| Scooter shuts down early / feels hot | Likely LCD or controller first. Check battery only after eliminating those. | Multimeter readings helpful. |
| Battery not charging after replacing charging port | Check charger & battery voltage first. Try replacing charger before battery. | If issue persists → battery inspection by technicians. |

-
Make sure the multimeter is set to voltmeter mode.
-
If you are checking the voltage of the battery, attach the two terminals of the multimeter to the positive and negative terminals of the battery, the multimeter should read a voltage.
-
Note if the value comes out negative, just switch the terminals or forget about the negative sign.
