Do you mean the sealed alarm type batteries? I'm on my 3rd one on my Wassel DC conversion, mine is in the tool box and I'm wondering if heat and vibration is killing them. The next one is going somewhere else, possibly at the back near the rear wheel.

I found that the Alarm batteries wouldn't hold charge but the normal bike battery has been fine since the summer even though the scoot hasn't been riden much recently.
Meus Lambretta est non infractus. Is est quietus.
Have you checked to make sure the charging rate is ok? I've used gel batterys on different bikes and scooters and had no problems with them, they last a lot longer than a wet cell battery, On my GP I've had the same small gel battery for a couple of years, not tried alarm ones.GLscoot wrote:Anyone using one of the gel battery. The last one i used didn't last very long, so would like to know if they are any better. Mine lasted about 6 months.
we use the alarm batteries at work, there has been a big problem with them, we garauntee them for four years and they are failing after six months.carlos fandango wrote:Interesting im on my third battery too.
