Lithium Battery Options & Installation for Vespa Scooters

Cant thank you enough , this channel is the university of vespa

Just leavin a comment, making sure that the algorythms make the most of it. Keep up the good work robot, always a pleasure watching people who really know what they talking about.

Excellent video! Great information on the differences between batteries and the chargers

[@burksy65]

I was stoked to see this video show up this morning as I need a new battery for my stock P200. You mention vintage at the beginning of the video, but it never comes up again. The cranking amps of these batteries makes a difference starting moderns, but how would it apply for the P? What's your recommendation for a replacement battery? Big fan of the videos and proudly rock my KZbin Certified Scooter Tech badge (converted it to a magnet 🧲🤖).

Next upgrade for my bev 350. Ngk iridium and lithium battery 👍

Tks Sir -----! I am confused whether I should use Lithium Battery because of High CCA >200A - so I can start my 250cc GTS engine better or not. Now I know should use lead acid battery ^^

[@kristfur]

I know this is a slightly different thing, but I started using a super capacitor to recover dying batteries (i.e. autowit batteryless car jump starter). Hook it up to your battery, it soaks up the remaining energy, takes 1-2 minutes, once it has 12v it can jump your battery. As opposed to lithium jump starters, it's super light, and you don't have to worry about a battery exploding.

But rather expensive.

I have a liberty 125cc. You never seem to mention them. Don’t they sell them in the US? Great channel, lots of detail.

Yes Robot is the best now that they finally making various tuned cylinders and cams for the 300cc Piaggio Engine's it's Time 2 Play

[@stevelansdowne]

I enjoy all your videos!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad you like them!

HELLO . such a problem with the wiring of the scooter Piaggio X8evo The cigarette lighter on the dashboard and the central locking of the seat and trunk will drain the battery if not started for several days, and all batteries are dead, although they should have been active only when the ignition key was turned. Checked with a tester the scooter is not active (the engine is not working)

[@JakeM218]

The Vespa elettrica still has a lead acid battery as the ancillary battery - just to run the dash really. Is it ok to replace this with a lithium battery?

[@youngiesbeats727]

What actually drains the battery? I have a Vespa ET4 Vintage model as a project bike i'm working on at the minute. Battery was charged a few days ago and is now completely drained again and doesn't have the power too crank over. Thanks Motorsport :)

I am installing two battery for my Piaggio Mp3 250 because hooking up a lot lights and music! Mr.Robot

[@duke_rider3856]

Which Battery best in Vespa????

[@joeolander4350]

My experience with cold weather starting was that lead acid had to be discharged a little before it got up to full voltage, where lithium delivered a surge right away. My mp3 started with a bang regardless of temperature or how long it was last run.

[@paulsanar9136]

Mine died with a iphone cable draw great advice

[@bufallobiff]

Replaced the battery in my BV 350 (with another gel battery) and it wouldn't idle properly afterwards.......had to have the ECU re-flashed. What's up with that ? Have you ever seen it before ?

[@JakeM218]

Did you touch any wires together while fitting or removing the old battery? Was the bike turned off? Did you wait a long time inbetween removing the old battery and replacing it with the new?

[@bufallobiff]

@@JakeM218 No, yes, no............

My big problem with most lithium batteries is the damage that occurs when you discharge it too much. Most people are going to try and start their bikes until it won't spin and there goes your $200 battery.

[@JakeM218]

I thought it was lead acid that has troubles if it’s discharged below 50%. Lithium is used in most phones, and those easily go down to 0% and then take a full charge after?

[@roamereasy9737]

You have to recharge the lithium battery when the energy goes down to 15%.

[@onsdenis]

Why are you sitting on the floor?

[@VespaMotorsport]

🤷‍♂️

[@hotvideo1890]

I need a battery for my piaggio beverly 500
