- Mobility Direct is now offering Lithium Upgrades for almost all mobility scooters! Call 866 935 1069
In this video, we take out the standard 40ah sealed lead acid battery and replace it with a Lithium battery half its size! The Dakota Lithium 23ah battery! And to our amazement, it outperformed the larger battery while doing a full-speed test! This is something that is unheard of in the Mobility Industry and below are three reasons why. The victory sport used in this test normally has a max range of 11miles, with our downgrade to the smaller size we did 14miles at 7 miles per hour!
UPDATE
For Pride Mobility Scooters ONLY, if you have a brand new scooter or your scooter is still under the manufacturer's warranty this will void your warranty. We know that our battery Warranty is much longer than the scooters, so just give us a call whenever you are ready!
#1 No one else is testing batteries at full speed!
#2 We are the only Dealer offering direct lithium upgrades!
#3 Who removes larger batteries to get more distance? MobilityDirect.com
We have heard the question from our customers, how can I get more distance out of my current scooter? The answer is to change your standard SLA battery to the MobilityDirect Lithium upgrade, the will replace your current battery so there is no need for extra hardware, you just need to change it to a Lithium Charger.

Super fantastic review with your research and development. This is wonderful I just replaced my batteries last Friday I wish I would have known this ahead of time I've definitely would have upgraded my jazzy ZT first generation to these batteries and I might still do it This is wonderful thank you so much you guys are awesome.
Just catching up on some reviews and this one made me smile thank you so much these batteries are going to change how we use mobility scooters in the near future
GOOD VIDEO DUSTIN. THANKS 😊
Awesome video Dustin
A very good video Dustin love it from South Africa
I would love to know how much does the traditional batter cost, and how much more does these cost to really weigh the pros and cons for their cost.
Just ordered 4 battery's for my scoter I was going to wait for spring but hey were a good price.
Why didn't you use the same size batteries that came out of it when switching to lithium ion batteries?
i have the drive supper sport which has 2x 100amh lead ,which lithium batts can you use, have you tested this model
But can these batteries be shipped to Australia?
I have a VIVE, is there a Lithium upgrade for it?
LifePo4 are better or best (no fire hazard).
Did you change the battery parameters in the scooter's controller to be for the LiFePo4 batteries you're using? If not, you should because then the scooter's built-in battery charge indicator would (in theory) be accurate for the LiFePo4 batteries that you upgraded to.
I have not had a chance to mess With the battery meters yet, For the most part they show a full charge until they're empty. The issue we're having is all these scooters have technology from 10 to 20 years ago and it's hard to integrate. Let me know if you have any success
Cheers for the video, do you know if these type of batteries would be suitable as a drop in replacement for a Sterling Sapphire 2. All I keep seeing is people mentioning potential battery balancing problems for charging when used in series in a scooter. Thanks in advance.
For balancing, you need to charge it once every two to three months on a Dakota lithium charger
Thx 4 the video. Just wondering. Is that a Pride LX Sport? If so do u have them in stock now? Thx 🙂
This was a victory sport that was used but I do have about 4 victory LX sports Call me 8669351069
Thanks
Test the go go I have one . Currently putting one inch larger tires in the rear

Watch that video
In the summer where I live it gets 120 in the garage, the Pride scooter rejects the charge at that temp. How are these batteries? I have fought the HOA to let me put AC in the garage, I put in for AC again with the new management.
These batteries are much better. I have charged them during summer in my van in Florida.
I've been told you need to change all the internal wiring in the scooter when changing to Lithium batteries, is this correct.
Not at all stop talking to whoever told you that immediately
Do these need a separate battery indicator? Or does the stock battery gauge work with lifepo4 batteries?
The stock Does not work properly. You will get a lot more distance but your gauge will not be accurate. I have installed some $10 Amazon Volt meters to fix
@@MobilityScooterSalesIs that the charging port that you put the volt meter probes into?
But do the batteries overheat and is there a possibility of them exploding
no not at all!
Can I just change straight over from lead acid battery's to aluminium I live in uk
Yes you can take out your lead acids and put these in. You only need to change the charger.
Dustin can U pls help Me anyone when I drive my buzzaround LX-3wheel it tends to slow down cause I feel battery draw down would the lithium battery’s help with that ..?????
Yes 100% call 📞 me 866 935 1069
Did you not change guage
No I kept the gauge standard.
I bought the same scooter you were testing (used) and the lady said that the batteries are pretty new supposedly but I only get about 2 mi on a full charge.What could be the problem is it the batteries or something else??? P.S. I know absolutley nothing about these things.
It's a good idea to start checking your batteries. I recommend watching this video which will show you how to troubleshoot batteries:

Thanks for stopping by our CZcams channel!
So cool phlimayA
Still working on a solution LOL.
Do you ship Lithium Ion batteries to Hawaii?
That would not be a problem give us a call (866) 935-1069
So 5-6 milea to 14 miles range?
Correct, now rember i tested at full speed, at half speed probably 24mile
Actually, I don't think full vs half speed will affect range much because lithium batteries don't have much Peukert Effect. That means the capacity of a lithium battery is not much affected by current load. So driving slower would only slightly increase range with a lithium battery. It's irrelevant anyway because no one is going to drive long distance at half speed.
@@charleyb4424 it actually
does, you can see when going full speed you are pulling more amps
Says he tests at full speed than proceeds to turn the speed down !!!
What is the price of these batteries?
700 i think call my parts team 866 935 1069
Oh ya, I already removed the speed limit from my scooter's controller. This had no effect because the voltage of my AGM batteries is the limiting factor. However, when I install LiFePo4 batteries, they will have 7% to 10% higher voltage. So I expect LiFePo4 will give me a 7% to 10% increase in speed.
Edited in Later: I am staying with my Powersonic PDC AGM batteries. They're good and are the best available for my scooter. LiFePo4 upgrade is not practical for me because my battery box physical layout requires two 12V batteries in series to make 24V system. For LiFePo4 the two batteries would not stay balanced.
To have a good, workable upgrade to LiFePo4 batteries, your scooter needs to have a battery box with one battery compartment that's large enough to hold one 24V LiFePo4 battery.

Where would I find speed limiter on a buzzaround LX 3wheel Bro .?
@@tonyrodriguez9163 There is no physical speed limiter on Buzzaround scooters (or most mobility scooters). The speed limiter is just a software setting in the scooter's controller (onboard computer) software. I changed the setting in my XLS-HD from 85% to 100%. This allows my scooter to go 100% of the speed that it's capable of. Now my limiting factor for speed is my batteries' voltage under load. The best performing batteries I've found are Powersonic PDC.
How did you "remove the speed limit from the scooter controller"? I would love to do the same to mine! It's a Pride Gogo scooter
I believe the LiFePo4 batteries will stay balanced if you use a lithium charger. I just upgraded my scooter's lead acid batteries to LiFePo4. There is a learning curve!
yes the first schooter you did on this wrong ah u need 48v to have it go 8mph u useing lesser ah
like my ewheels i use 4 12v 48v batterys it goes 14mph and the batteries last 45 miles per charge
Incorrect, E wheels runs 48 V systems. All pride mobility products as of right now are 24 V which is 2 batteries
I have this scooter in my store it 100% does 8 miles per hour on 24 V I promise you that, But either way I appreciate you coming in commenting and I hope you have a fantastic day
Send me the scooter thank you
