The difference a fuse makes By scootaway (Read 1,090 times)

Statement: Changing the main fuse on the battery (Jonway 250) makes the bike run a little cooler, scoot is more responsive and the charging rate jumps from 13.36 to 14.55. True or false.

True. The fuse and connection was not very good. I changed the fuse with the types on cars ( the little square ones that you slide in) the charging rate improved which makes the fan run stronger and the spark is better now that the battery is fully charged. Oh and I can start the scoot now with head light and fan on, no problem. If you have similar problems start with the fuse first, it may just be your problem in the first place.

Does this also mean a low amp battery is less effective for starting a scoot as would a poor connector? I have a 6 amp battery and it seems like most everyone has 9 amps.

The class type fuse showed continuity on the multimeter but once in the scoot would not allow current through, weird.

Back home now again but really missing my time there. A few more years and then I will join my daughter permanently in the Stated. Can't wait i have to say.

Speedracer i would guess so it is always better to have the correct battery in terms of amperage. Keep the electricals happy.

Does anyone have a picture of this fuse? So many kinds of car fuses I'm not sure which you're talking about.

Here is the fuse and the fuse holder with a cap as well to cover the fuse.

Here is what a Blade Fuse holder looks like.

I have a 9amp battery but I thought I have heard of Docs putting bigger amp batteries then that too, guess more amps the better for the battery life and Im sure it would have more cranking power.

a year ago i replaced my battery. Now that one is also shot. I realized now that I replaced a 9amp with a 7amp and that is why it did not last. Back to a new 9amp and very happy.
