Battery Voltage is usually always 12, Amperage can vary slightly with no major problems. 35 Amp is standard and will not present any problems.

Scooters have to use "gel-cell" batteries. deep cycle batteries are basically car batteries. They are made for a quick current draw like when you start your car. Gel-cells are made for a constant draw like your scooter which will draw for minutes to an hour. You will boil your battery dry and kill it if you use a deep cycle or any lead acid battery in a scooter. Gel-cell batteries are basically a lead acid battery with "gel" instead of water in it so it does not "boil out" and destroy the battery. You will end up frying your charger if you try to charge a dry battery or one which the plates are warped inside form a long draw on a lead acid battery.
do NOT use a deep cycle battery.. it is different formulation and you can cause an explosion or sudden expulsion of acid vapor if you are not careful!!
Google it and you will see. do not use that for your own safety sake!

SOURCE: I needto replace the battery charger on my Rascal 600F scooter

Hi. Most chargers with only two wires, have a small bridge wire from the
black ( negative ) wire to the middle terminal of the connector. This disables the controller while the machine is charging. The charger will still work without this bridge wire, but the scooter will still operate normally.
There are a few different chargers around that have an internal relay that disables the scooter, but these chargers are normally "on-board" chargers.
Good luck. Neil.

SOURCE: I have a Rascal 245 Mobility Scooter which is 3

Obtaining a 4-wheeled front section is the best way to improve stability. The 3-wheeled front section on rascal 235 and 245 scooters easily detaches and interchanges with the 4-wheeled front sections(235 models are a little shorter (less legroom).

Rascal Pioneer scooter. Where is the reset button?

There isn't one

To save the batteries, the scooter controller has a sleep mode, which is activated if the scooter is not used but
left switched on for some time. To reset, switch the scooter off and then on again.

What type of batteries does this model take?.jb.

you need 12v 33ah sealed deep cycle battery most likely it may need two batteries any thing above 33 amp hours would also be ok. A higher Ah the longer the batteries last. This information on the type of battery is from the user manual.

How to change batteries in a Rascal

The Rascal 600/300, remove the seat, lift off the cover, unplug a battery, replace the old battery with a new one, putting the cable connections on the same way, red is +, black is -. Do the same with the next battery, reconnect the anderson plugs,reinstall the cover and seat and plug in the charger with the key on watch to see the needle raises up toward the full mark, allow to charge fully, overnight is good. keep the bats charged up not allowing them to drop below half way for the first 20 charges to break in the batteries. as a rule charge the scooter after every use!

How to make rascal 600 scooter fsater 5 mp.

in order to get it to go faster, you could put larger wheels on it, or get an OEM programmer to adjust the speed. They did not want to be sued so they did not make them available. any of the higher speed scooters have hand brakes. There probably is a market to sell ways to speed up Rascals, but I can not except the liability. sorry Scooter Doctor App

Rascal scooter mo 655 motor stops going up hills

the batteries could be the problem, is it possible to try some other batteries, silly question , how steep is this hill ? remember scooters cannot climb steep hills as the motor will shut down due to the increased load.

1 Year old batteries ok ? but if they get used on a non daily basis and are not fully charged after use, I would question the batteries but again the motor could be overloading,

How much do you weight ? sorry for the personal question but it all loads the motor and that increases the current and that will cause the motor controller to shut it down.
