12v 10ah battery life?
ok so i’m looking into buying a cf moto v3 and the user manual states that it takes a 12v 10ah battery. for anyone who doesn’t know, the bike is a 250 cc 4-stroke gas powered scooter that looks like a motorcycle. what i want to know is how long can i expect my battery to last (in phoenix) and do i have to charge it all the time? also, can i substitute it with a 12v battery that has a higher ah?
Ah is Amp hours which mean it will deliver 1 amp for 10 hours or 10 amps for 1 hour ect. amps X hours = ah. Yes higher ah rating is ok, as long as it fits. You should keep it on trickle charge between longer periods of non use. I would think that it charges the battery as you ride(check manual), so the most power is used at start-up. A good battery that is maintained should last about 4 or 5 years.
congrats, nice scooter, good power, good looks!
