Can't tell if the new batteries are good as charger doesn't show green. There is no power

Hi Linda. Sometimes if there is a blown fuse or faulty connector on the battery leads, the charger thinks the batteries are charged as the voltage coming out of the charger rises to the high level. Some chargers will cut out if this happens. It is probably not the charger.
Make sure the batteries are plugged in correctly, sometimes during transport they will get knocked and become disconnected.
Also make sure that the battery terminals are not loose where the wires connect to the batteries.
Good luck. Neil.

ismail the charger you bought should do the job. By stop charging do you mean the light on the charger turns from yellow to green? Your scooter has small batteries 12/12 and don't require along period of charging. Now the scooter has a heat sensor for the batteries and will cut off charging when temp of the batteries gets too high. The older charger could have overcharged your batteries and made them weaker instead of stronger. I would suggest you replace the batteries (2 12/12AH) and charge them with the new charger. Remember to reinstall the heat sensors on each battery when replacing. If you have a digital voltmeter set it to 200 v dc and put the leads into the 2 outer plugs in the charger port on the battery pack. You should read 24-26 volts dc when the batteries are fully charged anything less would mean weak batteries. Hope this helps you

I've been a tech for years, and sometimes any assumption that something is "good" can be the one thing that trips you up for awhile. This is a really tough problem, since you've done about all you can to solve it. Here's what I suspect...either the batteries don't have the same current capacity as the old ones, or they could be underengineered, or even defective. I've bought car batteries, on two occasions, that were bad, even though they swore they were good.
You'll have to get someone to test them for their load capacity, that's the only thing I can figure at this point. Not sure who will have this capability- you might call around to some service shops and see if they can help, or know someone who can.
If all the connections are good, and the motor is new, there just leaves the harness itself and the batteries to suspect.
Ensure the batteries are good, and then you will have to check the cables for load capability and integrity.
Good luck, and hope this helps.
