Rascal Scooter charger blew twice is it caused by something else or do I just need a new charger. Someone fixed it and it worked 5 minutes.

Charger quit with a noise while charging. Had it fixed and blew again after 5 minutes of use. What is the solution, could it be caused by the batteries?

It is posible the batteries are not installed with the right poles or there may be a short, but more lightly the charger is dud.

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.

Rascal 600T Mobility Scooter. Can you help me?

The chargers are expensive because they are a 24 volt, 4 Amp charger. These scooters use 2 x 12 volt batteries and provides power to one (or two) 24 volt motors. Disconnect the batteries and check the voltage of each battery and check the output voltage of the charger.

Convert off board battery charger to work on rascal scooter

It has been done before, but you will violate the safety to do that and anything that happens with this scooter will be your fault! You will need a female electrical part for an XLR Plug to make it so the Male end from the charger will plug in. after wiring the Female connector and plugging the charger in the scooter will run while the charger is plugged in. This can cause safety problems.

Hello. I need a battery charger for a Rascal 325. This is the second one. It is not an OEM but a Prism GHC-244000IL-EMI 24V Model AE244000. They tell me at my scooter repair store that the OEM costs...

Any 4 amp charger you can find will work to charge your batteries. Preferably find one that has an on/off switch on the charger. You should be able to find one on ebay a lot less than what the scooter repair store quoted you Check around your neighborhood someone might have a second charger that they are not using. Since Medicare will pay for a new chair every 5 years someone might have a extra charger laying around. Hope this helps you
