Replacement Rascal Liteway-8 battery pack, set of six safe not-hazardous valve regulated non-spillable batteries for this transportable mobility scooter designed for extra runtime.
The Rascal Liteway-8 is a transportable scooter with a difference, apart from its lightweight aluminium frame it has divided up the energy storage into three units to make it easier to take off and put in the back of a car boot. this offer is for two-batteries to go into each box, so that's six batteries in all.
The batteries themselves are valve regulated lead acid with absorbed glass mat construction, this means they are suitable to mounted on the side and will not-spill if flung about in the back of a car, obvious requirements for this installation.

These batteries are recyclable, when they have reached the end of their life in years to come please ensure they are directed to a recycle centre where the valuable lead content will be processed into another useful product, it keeps them out of landfill and therefore a environmentally friendly product.
You should charge fully before first use, it will not take long as they will come out to you almost fully charged, do so as soon as you can after each and every use, you would be best advised to always keep at least 20% energy level in battery at the end of a days use as this will help stave off degradation and help them live a full life, if not being used for long periods then top up charge every 8-weeks.

There are 6-batteries in this offer for the Rascal Liteway-8 the size of each one are as follows:
Length = 151mm
Width = 99mm
Height = 96mm.
A little help on changing the batteries over yourself:
There are three separate boxes with two batteries in each, a total of six batteries. These can be opened by turning upside down and undoing the five Phillips screws holding the box together, one in each corner and one in handle, down a recess (you may not be able to see the screw at the end of this hole without a light). The box will now spilt be able to be split in two, carefully take the lid off.
Once inside you will see two batteries and some wires, if you aren’t going to remember where the wires are then take a picture for guidance. Usually there will be tape holding the wires down, take this off and pull the wires off each terminal (a total of four). Take the old batteries out and recycle, this can be done at your local recycling centre.
Put the new batteries in place, one at at time and connect the wires back up. It is pretty simple but looks complicated, here is how it should go: Red wires runs over the top of the batteries from point of connection to fuse. from fuse to red terminal on first battery. yellow wire runs from black terminal on first battery to red terminal on the other. Black wire runs from black terminal on second battery back into the point of connection. This creates one big loop and is called connecting batteries in series to create 24v.
Then all you have to do is put the lid back on and the screws back in and repeat for each box.
