It is time to replace the batteries. Buy two, not just one. This scooter takes two 12 volt, 12 amp hour, sealed deep cycle batteries. If you replace just one, the charger will not charge them properly. Take off the seat (pull upward). Turn the scooter on its side. Remove the six screws (2 in front, 2 under the foot rest, and 2 in the back. Unsnap the old batteries (one at a time) and replace with new. Be sure to keep the wiring as is, so you keep the circuit in series (not in parellel). In fact, before you remove the old batteries, label the connections (A to A, B to B, etc.) so you reconnect just as they were. Total cost is about $200. Time to replace is about a half hour.

I turn my tablet on then it switches it self off

Sounds like it does not have enough battery power to stay on. If you have not tried to charge it, you should try that first. If you have, it sounds like it is not getting charged or not holding a charge. Could be bad AC power source, bad charger, bad charger connection or bad battery. Take steps to confirm that each of these are good. If all of these are good, sometimes the tablet can become so discharged that it will not allow itself to charge. When they are in that state, sometimes you can trick them into charging again by repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting the charger as follows: With charger plugged in to AC power source, connect the charger to the tablet. Pay attention to the screen or LED or whatever indicator your tablet has to let you know it is charging. You may see it momentarily indicate charging, or maybe not at all. Then unplug the charger from the tablet then immediately plug it back in and pay attention for the charge indication again. You may have to do this a bunch of times (like 20) until you see the indication that it is charging. When you do get the indication, stop unplugging and re-plugging and let the tablet charge for 24 hours (to a full charge). This trick doesn't always work. Sometimes the battery or charging circuit or an internal connection is bad and no amount of unplugging/re-plugging will fix a hardware problem.

Red light flashing on charger

A red light indicates the charger is charging the battery, an amber light means it has switched from fast rate charging to trickle to keep the battery topped off, and green would mean the battery is completely charged. But don't be fooled waiting for green, many times the charger will only be on green for a moment before changing to amber and keeping the battery topped off.

Flashing can be a sign of a problem on some chargers.

A rapid flashing red can on some chargers indicate a bad or shorted battery, or a bad battery contact in the charger itself. If in question, try a different battery on the charger or compare with another charger to determine if the blinking is normal.

Best regards.

I have mio s600 and during the travel the car charger has stopped working, so the navigation automatically started to use it's one battery. After I pulled out the charger, and sticked it in again,

If you are using the lighter plug for charging it may have a fuse inside the plug itself the plugs into the lighter socket,,,,,look for a fuse there or if have a volt meter check for voltage reaching the unit when plugged that way If voltage is good to the unit from the car source the battery may be bad, either not getting a voltage for charging or battery not holding a charge.

My Mother had me pick up a Mega Motion 111 Travel PAL WITH LESS THAN 40 HOURS USAGE. However, it sat idle for a year and the batteries register stone red dead zero. Anyway, I followed the directions cover...

Sounds to me that all the right checks have been made...
Heres a tech Tip ,9/10 battery chargers cannot bring up a pair of dead battery's.In our case Larry thats whats happening here.There isnt enough power in the batterys to turn your charger on.
Here are some steps in testing your charger ..
1) Take the two batterys out of the scooter
2) Find your self a battery charger that you can set at a trickle charge ,this setting charges at a very low voltage
3) Trickle charge each battery to a least 50%
4) Install the batterys back into the scooter
5) Plug in your charger
Now in doing this your charger should kick on for a while ,dont worry if it shuts off .The batterys being bad is the reason for it shutting off ,we are just testing to see if your charger is working.

This should keep you out of the shop.good luck

The batteries will not accept a charge, therefore the charger things they are full. When a battery sits for that long then they drain beyond the point of repair.
