How to Replace the Battery of Scooter (Activa 2G/3G/4G)

After some years of use, the battery gradually loses its life and it needs to be replaced with a new one.

In this, Instructable we are going to replace the old scooter battery with a new one in just 7 steps.

This is really easy to follow and is applicable to every Activa Scooter model.

1. 4 wings screwdriver
2. 7mm ring spanner
3. 10mm ring spanner

The two black pads in front of the body contain two screws each hidden behind the pads that are needed to be removed.

For that use, 4 wings screwdriver.

Then from the dashboard side below the headlight, there are two screws, and remove them too.

The front guard of the scooter contains some plastic locks and when you are pulling the guard out, do it carefully without breaking it.

First, remove the center clamp that is holding the battery tight to its case.

For this, you need to use a 10mm Ring Spanner( "10" number written on it).

Second, Use a 7mm ring spanner or the screwdriver to remove the nut-bolt or screw that is holding the battery connector wires to the battery terminals.

Now take the battery out of the case.

Now, this may or may not be applicable to every place but you can get a discount on a new battery if you give the seller your old non-working battery.

It's also written on the battery too " Return your old battery gift child a new life".

I got a discount of Rs.150/-(Indian Currency) on my new battery.

The new battery I had purchased is of AMARON brand. I would recommend you to buy either AMARON or EXIDE brand batteries with at least 6 months to 1-year warranty.

Clean the inner body parts as well as the battery terminal connectors and battery case with a dry cloth or brush.

You will get two new pairs of nuts and bolts with the new battery to connect the terminal to the wires.

Insert the nut below the given battery terminal(on both sides) as shown in the image above.

Now connect the wires with the battery terminal and use the given bolt to tighten it. Use the same Ring Spanner which was previously mentioned in steps.

And finally, put back the clamp that was holding the battery tightly to the case.

And at the last put back the front guard and screw it again.

We have replaced the battery. Hope it worked for you!
