Where is the leakage usually caused in a scooter?
2 Answers
Scooter leakage is usually caused by faulty electrical components or circuit connectors. Here are the inspection methods: 1. Check with a multimeter: Connect the multimeter to the battery. If there is a reading or the reading exceeds the standard, it indicates a leakage fault in the circuit or electrical components. 2. Troubleshooting: Disconnect the connectors of each electrical component and circuit one by one until the leakage disappears, indicating that the fault lies in this part. Then, repair the circuit or electrical components of this part. 3. Battery test: Use a battery tester to check if the battery is aging. If the test is normal and the battery discharge is caused by human factors, simply charge the battery.
I usually tinker with electric devices quite a bit, and scooter leakage mostly occurs in a few areas. The most common issue is with the battery pack—aging or poor internal sealing can lead to electrolyte leakage or current leakage. If this thing gets damp for a long time, it's even more prone to problems. Then there's the wiring harness; loose connectors or worn insulation can cause electricity to escape, possibly accelerated by frequent vibrations. If the controller module gets water inside or its components are damaged, it can also leak electricity, affecting the entire vehicle's circuit. Additionally, if the charging port isn't sealed properly or the plug is loose, it might cause issues during charging. If you notice any leakage, stop using it immediately and check the voltage and insulation resistance. Don't underestimate this—wet hands touching it could lead to electric shock. It's best to regularly clean the connectors and check the battery's health status. Overall, timely maintenance is cheaper than repairs after the fact.
