Replace scooter battery (Kymco - LIKE200iLX)
Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2018 6:02 pm
From Amazon in 3 days..
Brought it to a full charge...
The LIKE200i battery is beneath the floor under your feet.
The battery cover is fastened by 3 phillips screws - a flatblade screwdriver will pop the cover off.
I replaced my old battery with a 230cca battery which is 5mm taller than the stock battery. I cut 5mm off the hold down posts on the underside of the battery cover - then my new larger battery slid in with no issues.
10mm socket removes the terminal screws (NEG. first!), then I used a spring puller hook to pull up the old battery.
I checked my cell phone photo of the starting positions of all the parts, then...
I applied dielectric lubricant to all the connection pieces and attached the POS. leads, then the NEG. leads.
Fastened the battery cover in place - and started the scooter. The increasingly noticeable hesitation at start from the old battery these past 6 mos. - was gone. It fired instantly - as it had for years!
The black wire trailing off left is for the battery tender.
