Key for cosco mobility scooter

SOURCE: The battery takes a charge, but will not power scooter

This scooter require two batteries, not one. It is usually a good idea to replace both batteries at the same time, even though one is obviously bad, and the other "seems" okay. These 12 volt DC batteries (VDC) work in tandem to produce the 24 volts that the scooter operates on. In a perfect world, they would both live a long and happy life, but reality is that some die young, others old. Since they are joined together, the one that's going out saps the life out of the other one, so take a bullet and replace both batteries. Make sure you completely charge the scooter when you get the new ones in. Verify that your charger is working properly. To properly charge the 24 VDC system, the chargers have to have an output of about 26-28VDC. The output must be higher than the rated voltage of the two batteries put together to charge. While you have the shell off the scooter, you can see if the charger is working by measuring across the terminal on each battery with the charger off. Note the meter reading. It should be 12-13 VDC. Put it on the charger and retake the reading, and each battery should show an increase in the voltage due to the boost from the charger. After three hours, each battery should show about a 13.5 VDC reading which should hold above 12 for a good 8-10 miles. Always charge your batteries overnight, and if not in use, disconnect them completely with a full charge on the batteries.

Soutside how secure does the scooter have to be? Is it parked inside at night and does your partner leave it unattended for long? The reason I'm asking is because you can replace the keyed switch with a plain old on/off toggle switch for about 5 bucks. Just remoce the console unscrew the old keyed switch unplug the old switch from the wire harness and using the original connector splice the toggle swith to the connector tape with electrical tape and install in console. Check correct operation of the switch before you put it in the console. If it works ok install it and put the console back together and there you go a fix plus cheap too You can always call Invacare @ 1-800-333-6900 and order a new switch Hope this helps.
