Battery help
(OP)
I bought my little girl a scooter the charger went out.
The scooter has 2x12 volt 4.5ah barries running series.
The charger is a 24v 400ma charger takes about 8 hours to fully charge the batteries.
This is second time charger went out it is very cheaply made.
Wondering if i can choose a 24v charger to charge the battery faster i mean im paying $50 from schooter factory for that 8 hour charge.
maybe this

Also check the battery voltage as they may no longer hold the charge just like a car and could be the reason for the frequent charger replacement. fully charge the batteries,check voltage after charge and recheck batteries a few more every hour or so and for loss of voltage.

RE: Battery help
If there is some way of charging the 2 12V batteries in parallel, that would give you a better selection of chargers. Make sure whatever you buy has transformer isolation, perhaps incorporate a polarised plug and switch so your Daughter can safely connect/disconnect it by herself.
Good Luck
