 Okay guys today, we're going to be checking out this old mobility scooter the seats off of it because That post is on my barbecue The problem is If I turn switch on The gauge is reading say that but when I hit the I Hear a little click and that's it Um Headlights on but it's not very bright. I do know one of the batteries in it is bad. Let's go ahead and pull this up But I can't remember which one so what I'm going to do is I don't know what that was from I Got a couple batteries. I think might work on this thing and But we're going to see We're gonna see if we can get them to work This is 24 volts us to meet one of them's 12 volts Those are very expensive batteries. I got a couple out of an old scooter. Actually I got four I Had two scooters and I say with the batteries the batteries were good There was two in each one two 12 volts in each one, but they're small so I'm going to unhook these and I'm gonna put them batteries in there And we're going to see If that's going to fix our problem, I can't remember which one of them is bad, but one of them keeps going dead, so All right guys Let's get to this. Let's just check these make sure they're up to par and I'm looking at 25.3 These are hooked up in series. I got to hook them up parallel So what that means is a little tiny drill bit what that means is 12 and 12 is 24 So what I got to do is I got to hook the red to red And black to black so I got to hook the positive positive negative negative that'll put them parallel That'll still give me my 12 volts, but it'll be a strong 12 volt and I got to do it with each one of them And then when I hook it up to here see each one of these are 12 volts So you got 12 and 12 is 24 So this is 12 12 12 and 12 so I don't want to hook them up in series all right, so Let me get some cutters and We'll get these wired up. I'm gonna try to figure out a way. I can wire these in I really don't want to cut these original ends off here in case I do happen to find a set of these batteries but let's go ahead and get these unhooked and And I checked the other ones too. They're about 25.2. These were 25.3 So they're fully charged and they're ready to go This has got an integrated charging system in it. So When I plug it in it still should charge the 12 volts on each one that I need Okay, so I'm gonna check these batteries just in case This one's 13.3 I Know you guys can't see that anyway. It's 13.3 ish This one Is 11.1 that one's low. So That must be the bad one let's go ahead and hook these Because this is never gonna be like rude around through Walmart for a couple hours or anything It's just going from point A to point B with my grill, you know So and their old batteries her mom was like what won't just put new batteries in it I'm not I'm not paying almost $200 for batteries. I Could buy another one of these in this condition and working order for around 300 350 bucks You know, so these things aren't once they're used they're used. That's it. So hopefully These batteries will be strong enough To run this like I said, it's never going to go very far Maybe take it around back or something Might take it to a car show, but It's not gonna be driven around. It's just gonna sit there, you know Probably should have just hooked One of them up over here, but so that's the good one I'll put this nut washer on top of the good one Yeah, these are gonna set in here It won't set that way. So I have to set them like this So I want to keep these these plugs handy for different things so I want to keep these plugs. I want to Cut it off back here Same way with these. These are handy cut that off Okay, so I'm gonna wire these two together And those two together and that'll give me my parallel 12 volts Like that So I should put them back cuz I don't want I don't want to put strain on these so What I'm probably gonna do Is solder these I don't know boy, I'd really like to keep these ends on here, but I Don't I don't think I'm going to let's go ahead and take these ends off. I'll save them always put them back on but and then I Really don't want to solder these but there's no other way around it So let me get my soldering stuff We'll solder all this stuff together I'll speed you up through that cuz it's boring I'll put some my some of my shrink wrap on it. I Should just hook these up first and see if they're going to work right. That's what I'm going to do Let me prep out another battery And we'll just hook them up real quick And make sure this is going to do what we need it to do it should But let's check for you know, just just in case. Okay guys. I just got these wired up. Let's see I'll flip it on There goes all right now This thing does have another issue this box right here Right there with the yellow sticker on it That's some kind of Control box or something. It's going bad, and I'm not going to replace it because That reason right there, that's the board that's inside there 24 volt 55 amp motor controller 189 bucks Yeah, it ain't getting one of those so we'll run it as long as we can and then I'll do something different But yeah, all right well I'm going to get my shrink wrap And I'm going to solder these on and these wires together and Let's unplug them first We'll solder these on we're together I should say and Then we'll put this strap around here the best we can And we'll try it out and see what happens As you can see soldering wasn't going that great So let me clean this stuff off here. Let's take it for a little cruise Okay All right guys, so We stuck at it. We persevered I know it wasn't that long for you guys, but for me it's been several hours because I had to take That controller off Do a little soldering looks like it's gotten moisture in there at one time and Which I'm sure condensation and everything so yeah I'm gonna put it back away Well, I'm gonna put it on the charger first. Let's do that. Let's put it on the charger and make sure That the lights come on. Okay, so I've got to plug in there Let's plug this in Right there And over here. We should see a little green light down there or red. What are we looking at? Oh, I see green light. Okay, cool If it's red There it is I think if it's red it's charging And green means full charge which we check those batteries and they are full charge so There we go. I don't know how long that controller is going to last so I don't know We'll just have to see I'm gonna put the grill back on it And this thing lives up there Believe it or not, but it does and Yeah, that's pretty cool. So Let's see something Yeah, it's how much brighter the light is now. So I I had the battery charger out here because I had I tried to put this on the this battery on the charger. It won't do anything. It won't spark or nothing even if you Cross them negative positive positive negative. It does nothing even though it's reading 11.1 volts or something. It's not doing anything. So that one there Uh, I checked again. It's reading a little over 12. So that's on most full charge battery. That's a good battery there um This needs a battery, but unfortunately that one won't fit in here. I don't think No But it takes one of these little tiny things They're like 20 bucks. No big deal. All right. I'm feeling a couple raindrops guys. So I got to get my mess cleaned up here Picked up and put away And so I'll see you guys in the next one. Thanks for watching guys. Shea bear the myth the main legend Golf round wasn't really how to but it was what I was doing. So All right, we'll see you guys in the next one. Bye. Bye and take care. Have a great weekend everyone
