Most headlights on China scoots are ran through the ac system not off of the battery . unless u have a DC setup u should be able to start the scoot and disconnect the battery and still have normal functioning headlights .
This is kinda an old thread so I hope its taking care of by
now .

This is kinda an old thread so I hope its taking care of by now . They will still function but they are half as bright when your scoot's lights are running straight off the stater instead of a good battery on both my scooters AC and DC fired both times I am barely visible at night when my battery is dead I even got a warning one day for not using my blinkers even though I did it's just you couldn't see them they were not bright enough. |

John Yes it is the headlights and the running brake light on my scooter had stopped working one night on my way home since whoever I got it from did not know how to wire anything. Anyway my fiance had taken the scooter the next day and on her way home from work she was in an accident because she was not seen so always make sure you are nice and bright out there people don't pay attention. She was fine a few scratches and bruises but front end on the scooter is pretty much gone, so theres that story always make sure you can be seen |

Most of these scoots have terrible head lights , I've never noticed a difference in the lights with no battery connected . The regulator if working properly should regulate the power running to the headlights . I wouldn't expect any difference in the brightness of the headlights while you are on the throttle with or without a battery . that is as long as the stator and electrical system is performing as it should . |

Everything is frozen here so I had to put things on hold, I'll be working on things again as soon as the weather breaks.
Thanks for everything.
