How do i change the battery on buddy 50

hi its no use checking youre batteries with a voltmeter .multimeter this will not tell u how the condition of the batteries r u need a battery load tester to check condition of the cells ..u can buy them of E/BAY.....good luck

It sounds like your alternator is not charging the battery. Fit a new battery remember to undo negative lead first to remove and fit positive lead first to refit the battery. When the new battery is filled please charge it using less than 1 Amp DO NOT use a car charger or try to jump start it. Your new battery should show 12.5 to 13 volts on a meter for a 12 volt system and 6.3 to near 7 volts for a 6 volt system. Start the scooter and check across the battery terminals your meter should show about 14.4 V for 12 volt battery and about 7.5 V for a 6 Volt one. No voltage increase means your charging circuit is not working. Either the alternator or rectifier(regulator) are not operating correctly. Worst case scenario is both units dead.

must have a short, is it fitted with an alarm? also make sure it is charging the battery in the first place and isn't just draining it as you ride.

You have a bad ignition module.

Regulator fault

The battery it is dying and it dead and the core of the battery it self can't retain enough the of charge of the electricities for to the battery to move the scooter.Change to a brand new battery ur scooter should work fine.

battery could be damege or its time to get knew one.try looking it online

hi, the charger unit is breaking down, Sometimes the batteries can cause this problem but I think you find it the charger, when batteries get older they simply don't hold the charge as much as when new, also the way they deliver power can drop off quicker.
