I have a Golden companion medical scooter with a 24volt 2 amp charger, I was told to up the amp, so will this charger work for me?

Yes of Course. One has to be sure that the cables connections match. If not they can be made to work. You have 2.5 times the currency of your preasent one. ra

I use the charger for my Shoprider Streamer and it works well. I am not sure whether you should up the amp and whether the charger will work for you.

I was reticent to use a more powerful charger on my wife's expensive power wheelchair which also had a 2 AMP charger. What a huge difference. Charges so much faster and lasts longer. I noted no harm from the increase in amperage.

Both the chargers are self regulating depending on the battery voltage so the 5amp charger will charge faster if the battery voltage is low. If you discharge the battery to a low level the 5amp charger is the best solution if you don't discharge the battery to a low voltage condition the two amp charger is fine. To cover all conditions the 5amp is best. Make sure your battery and connector are compatible. Hope this helps

It is my impression that this inverter is meant for powering small things like cell phone chargers. If your scooter battery charger has anything near 150 watts of power consumption, I think it will overheat after awhile and trip the breaker.

If the two batteries in series will make 24 volts DC, no. The charger on this unit is a smart charger and will likely fail to properly charge your batteries. In all probability, it will charge non-stop until the batteries and/or the charger burn out. I suggest either a 24-volt charger/inverter with a voltage reduction to match your 12-volt gear or a stand alone 24-volt charger and disable the charger that is built into the inverter.Hope this helped.AU

Yes. This is the best charger we can find in today's market. We need the 24 volt option it offers.

this is a 24volt charger. I think you need to find a 12volt charger to meet your needs.

Most likely yes. The charger has the standard round 3 pin plug that is all I've ever seen on off board chargers. This charger is also set to specifically charge scooter batteries.Richard

Mr. BuddyOlPal I did a little research on your question, first the term "dry cell" is a little misleading for this battery, it is actually a AGM design Battery, which means it is a glass mat and not a true "dry cell"...that term, belongs to batteries like AA AAA C D Batteries. According to the battery manufacturer... Any conventional battery charger or alternator up to 15.2 volts and 25 amps will be sufficient....However I would not use a charger that high for that type of battery, I would use a lower amperage, say something from 2 -6 amps would be better.....The smart charger does not supply that kind of current, it is only for a charged battery and to maintain it while it is not being used....I installed a AGM battery as a second battery in my 4 wheeler and this battery maintainer worked really well for that purpose, so if your battery is ok and charged, then it should work just fine...

It did not work for my scooter and I would not recommend buying it. Try dealing with a scooter dealer near you and see if there may be a used charger that you can purchase or spend a little more and get the correct one for your application or look on craigslist is a possibility.

You can always find answers to technical questions on the 'resources' page of our website or by calling us any time. We are more than happy to help. The answer is yes, the 30 amp version is more than you need, but the 3.3 kWh on-board charger in your Volt will only accept what it can. Purchasing the 30 amp version will more than likely allow faster charging for your next EV, as the industry is moving toward larger 7.7kWh +/- on-board chargers. Thanks for your question, evCHARGEsolutions-com

A little heavy but the extra power more than makes up for that. 12 volt 20 amp batteries are definitely not the same size as 12 volt 12 amp batteries but if your scooter manual says they will work there is enough room in the case for them. Check your manual to make sure these will work.

Depends on what rate you have the charger sent at. The lower the amps the longer it will take, I suggest checking the voltage after 5hrs, should be 12.5 or higher when fully charged for a new battery.

If your 48 volts is based on 4 each 12 volt batteries or even 8 each 6 volt batteries it should work fine. I use it to charge my 48 volt battery system for the hydraulics in my low rider. Just make sure when you hook it up you verify correct polarity and voltage setting. It would also help to have spare 30 amp fuses on hand for the charger just in case.

not sure how many amps you need..... but I would not buy that charger again. I went w/1 that will read batteries and auto shut off. do your self a favor and buy a good charger.

I simply use the charger that is built into my scooter, however I have used my 12v car battery charger without any problems as well. Because they are smaller batteries, I'm sure a motorcycle battery charger/maintainer would work fine as we'll.

It all depends on which charge controller you choose. If your charge controller is rated for 24V then you're good.

I don't know where you got this info, but the high capacity chargers for both devices are rated at 5VDC, 2.1A. So NO. And, if you charge at a faster rate the battery will fry!
