We're on our second car now from Amazon. The car keeps stopping dead while driving forwards. Also slow. Stock battery to blame?

Probably, the stock battery is horrible. Buy a 5000mah 7.2v Ni-mh battery and it will run much better

Sounds a little like what happen to ours, but a charger never came with the car, like it was supposed to. So don't know fully if it is the same problem.

Mine did the same thing with the stock battery, run for 20-seconds and stop, then after 15-seconds it might go for another 20-seconds and then stop...on the stock battery. I switched to the 5000mah 7.2V and it ran without stopping and fast, however I noticed the car would not run at full power all the time. I don't know if that is an issue with MAH batteries or the car has an issue. I have another Redcat Pagani with LIPO and it runs hard non-stop.

I would definitely be blaming the stock battery mine only charged like 3 times before it would barely move after charging it. Get a lipo battery.

I'm not trying to spend your money for you, but, you should really try a 2-cell LiPo (lithium polymer) battery pack. It will be like driving a whole new car. I promise you won't regret getting one.

Hmm, good question. I wonder if the connection to the battery is bad? Maybe it was connected for the first 14 hours and then got jarred loose somehow? I would probably take the battery out and put it back in, making sure that the contacts seem to be clean and touching. If that doesn't do anything, I would call a local battery store and see if they have any way of testing the battery to see if it is good. If there is nothing obvious wrong with the battery, I would probably call the company that installed the unit and see if they have any suggestions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

check fuse,or run a temp from battery directly to the brake.They sell them in just about any auto store.

It seems strange if the car starts and runs fine but the battery is drained by using the power window (with the new motor) when the engine is not running. Does the battery drain when you operate another window? If yes, then it's not the new motor you installed. I would have the battery tested to be sure it's good. Most local auto parts stores will do this as a free service. Otherwise there are some electrical issues that need to be diagnosed and corrected. Good luck...

I have not got to that problem yet. I was going to buy some spare parts but like you say out of stock .My car still running fine.

Been there done that, the electric start didn't wirk. So I kick started it , I went 0-35 out of my garage into rear end of truck...there is no idle or shift so don't do what I did, u could end up dead. The company I bought from finally agreed to reimburse me, but not shipping.Amazon will get $ back to my account and giving me provincial credit for my shipping costs..this is an ongoing problem with this scooter and the Co. That sell it know it. Sorry I'm not buying another one

Sounds more like you have a bad alternator. Advance auto should be able to test it for free or which ever auto store you have

Battery is getting low. Replace with an A23 size battery. The stock batteries don't seem to last that long.

yes that is exactly what i had happen just pull the fuse when you park to avoid battery dieing. replaced with this and works like it should again.

Add me to the list - not sure when it started, a few weeks ago we noticed it b/c we charged it and then it was dead. Figured it got bumped in wife's purse or hadn't charged long enough but now I've been trying to charge it and see the on/off cycling going on. No answer, just sympathy and hope for a fix!

May have a defective part. Is it new? Also try resetting the vehicle computer by removing battery cable for a while.

Did you disconnect the battery as instructed to help the ecu reset after installation? I had a slight drop as well and you may need to install a less restrictive exhaust as well. I went with a Magnaflow system. It helped with the sound and the mileage.

Sounds like to me that you have them hooked in parallel and not in series?? Check with your auto tech, seems to be something not right?? How old is the battery??

I have found that a battery that sets in the store for a period of time will show weak. always best to check a battery with a good charge I have found. Even if I expect a bad battery in my auto"s I always try to charge and test them befor I just go and get a new one, have saved my self money doing this first..

I have played the unit for a good two hours with the battery. I almost always have it plugged in when I view it. I would see about returning the battery, or getting a new unit. Thats what I like about Amazon, I have never had a problem with a return or replacement.
