Touring battery troubleshooting and replacement
🔋 Potential Battery Issues
1. Battery Voltage Appears Low
-
A fully charged battery can read between 49V and 56V, depending on the unit and charger.
-
Fluctuations in voltage are normal for Lithium-ion batteries.
-
Your range will depend on weight, speed, and road conditions.
-
More info: Battery University – Confusion with Voltages
Check:
-
Turn on your voltmeter. Healthy voltage is 41V–56V.
-
Above 39V: Battery is likely fine; check for other issues.
-
Below 37V: Battery health is compromised → replacement may be needed.
Normal Battery Aging:
-
After 3+ months or >100 miles, voltage slightly below max is normal battery degradation.
-
Warranty does not cover normal degradation, only battery failure.
⚡ Voltage Drops When Turning On
-
Ask about water damage.
-
Yes: Customer may need to replace the battery: Replacement Battery
-
No: Request a video showing the issue. Technicians will advise if a warranty replacement is needed.
-
🔑 Voltmeter Issues
-
Stays on and cannot turn off: Likely a damaged voltmeter key housing.
-
Replacement is needed.
-
If order is <30 days, replacement is free.
-
The customer must be comfortable performing the replacement, or we can assist.
-
📺 LCD Battery Display Issues
-
LCD shows 100% constantly:
-
First, check P1 & P2 settings (Factory: P1 = 41.5, P2 = 15).
-
If issue persists, the LCD may need replacement.
-
🌡 Scooter Shuts Down Early / Feels Hot
-
Usually caused by LCD or controller.
-
If those are fine, check the battery with a multimeter.
-
Technicians can inspect and advise on replacement or repair.
🔌 Battery Doesn’t Charge After Port Replacement
-
Verify multimeter readings for charger and battery.
-
If charging port is fine, try replacing the charger first, then battery if needed.
-
Technicians can inspect battery if issues persist.
✅ Key Takeaways
-
Healthy battery voltage: 41–56V
-
Below 37V → replace battery
-
Voltage fluctuations are normal
- Check for water damage before warranty claims
