[ausev] Batteries

[Michael]

I am not sure if one is bad or all of them.  I didn't investigate that far.
It only had like a 30 or 90 day warranty.. 
 
I am thinking now that I am going to ride it into the ground, and sell it
and buy a more full sized scooter.  This one is a little scary to drive in
the bike lanes..

Steal them..? 

Batteries are unfortunately expensive, I'm nearing a pack replacement myself
on my EV. It's possible only one of them is really bad and needing
replacement (assuming this is 3x 12V batteries. Then you only need one.

Is it under warranty? 9 months is pretty early. 

Again if it's only one bad one you might be able to get a less bad one at a
scooter shop for cheap.

Hey guys,
 
I know this is car group, but since its electric cars I thought maybe ya'll
can help me with my dilemma.  
 
I have  a schwinn s750 scooter.  It's a 36 volt scooter and the batteries at
9 months old are only charging to 27.7 volts.  I decided I need to replace
the batteries but at $100 bucks it's a bit crazy.  Any ideas?
