I have a Rascal 600f scooter that seems 2 work okay except both the power meter and charging meter indicates energy loss wrong.As the power is used the meter very very slowly goes down from full charge running out of energy at exactly the half way point on the meter(12).The charging meter also starts at 4 instead of 8 when charging?The scooter gives full distance?Thanks 4 any ideas.

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.

hi William, there is a fuse located until the rear cover please check that's okay , if so then sadly the charger unit has failed, i can supply you with a normal charger lead that you fit to the batteries and will allow you to use a normal three pin charger, a lot cheaper than a replacement unit ..

Is there a particular battery charger for this vehicle? Can you use a car battery charger directly to the batteries?

Put a meter on the Connection to the motor, try to engage the throttle see if any DC voltage is being given. if so does the voltage go up and down?

Use manual for the same

Neil wood, the Rascal 600 DOES use an on board charger. What signal is the white wire looking for to make the scooter move is the question. 28v?

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.

Are you sure the batteries are charged ? Is the Battery charger charging ok ? Are the batteries connected ? take off seat and cover to check battery leads, does the key fit in the lock okay ?
