Installation and maintenance tips

A scooter parked outside a flat all winter rarely starts first time in March. Lay a rag over the frame to avoid scratches while lifting the battery out. Bump starting regularly wears the clutch and hides a bad battery.

lead-acid: how it works

Plates made of lead and lead dioxide react with the acid. Flooded deep-cycle batteries give good value in solar and traction work. Clean white deposits off the terminals with a little bicarbonate solution.

Before you order: a quick checklist

• ✓ Plus pole position: positive on the right-hand side. Mixing up orientation is the most common reason a battery of the right size will not connect.
• ✓ Capacity 24Ah: equal to or a little above your old label is ideal.
• ✓ Diesels and big engines need the full 200A or more.
