---Previous message:--- : ---Previous message:--- : : : What do I do? Take the scoot to another dealer? : : 1. : Your national importer is supposed to have a helpdesk for local dealers. Has your dealer already contacted them? : : 2. : My suggestion would be to ask your dealer. One month is a ridiculous long persiod of time. : He says he checked several parts and found them OK. So, simply ask him what he is going to do now to solve the problem. If he shrugs and doesn't know, ask him what he thinks you should do. : : Not being a mechanic, I may be wrong, but...a scooter battery not charging can't be difficult to solve. Simply replace everything that has to do with the charging of the battery and see if that solves the problem: change the battery, the cables towards the battery, the regulator and the flywheel. : : From the Peugeot Manual (this may help your dealer): : : This circuit consists of the following elements connected in series: : - flywheel magneto : - regulator : - fuse : - battery : The voltage depends on the engine’s speed. : While this voltage is lower than battery voltage, it is the battery which supplies the various circuits. As soon as this voltage is higher than battery voltage, it is the flywheel which supplies the various circuits and recharges the battery. : Putting the battery into service: see maintenance page N° 3. : : Checking the charge : Use a multimeter (MX40) set to the DC voltmeter position (=) connected to the terminale of the battery. Check that the voltage varies depending on the speed of rotation of the engine up to a maximum of 14.5V ± 0.5V. : If the voltage at the battery terminale exceeds 15V, the regulator is not connected to earth or is faulty. If there is no variation in voltage at the : battery terminale, check the fuse, connections, especially those of the flywheel or regulator harnesses (loose connections inversion of wires in the connecter for example). : : Checking a discharge : Engine off. Disconnect the red wire from the : battery. Use a multimeter (MX40) set in the : Ampmeter (1OA) position, connect the black wire (COM) to the + terminal of the battery and the red wire (1OA) to the disconnected red wire of the : battery. : : : : [Of course, he could solve the problem by offering you another scooter. You could even put him under some pressure by mentioning that he seems to be incompetent and your national consumer support organization would like to hear about such cases.]
