I am changing the title and gist of this thread because a few guys correctly pointed out that the problem is not the battery, its that its not charging.
As I say below, voltage does not change when the scoot is running.
Not charging.

I got a better off of amazon for my 150cc, and have never had to charge it beside when I first received it. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IUWM59O/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1If you are consistently using your scoot, but also having to charge the battery, sounds like you have an electrical problem with the stator. Have you added extra electrical accessories? And what volts is your battery at when the scooter is running? |

That's exactly what I was wondering. What kind of shape is the charging system in? And yeah, maybe somewhere north of 3K rpm you should see something > 14V. at least that's what the Morphi do. Oh, as part of the charging system, is this an external regulator. As I recall, most stator bikes feature this.

Can't get out to see what's in my Piggy, but it should be whatever is specified by Piggy. rocky can probably tell you what it is.
It's the original battery from 2007, kept on a Battery Tender Jr through all the many extended downtimes. Tested fine at this past spring's full tune-up. Probably costs more, but wouldn't hurt to at least price it.

tvnacman John - how ironic is it that I could have a bad regulator/rectifier after our recent email exchange. I'll have to open it up again and get out my meter.
