Merry Christmas to everyone.
I'm looking for some advice on charging up a mobilty scooter. I live in a 14 floor tower block, and on the 13th floor. Normally i use the elevator and charge my scooter indoors. But as of two days ago, the water tank at the top of the building ruptured. Hundreds of litres of water got in to the elevator shafts and took out both, so they won't be back in service for a few weeks
I've been given a lock up to stor the scooter, but sadly there's no power points in the lock up. I was hoping to use a car battery and inverter to power the scooter charger. The scooter has two 50Ah batteries in series, so the scooter system is 24 Volts. If a car battery and inverter is a viable option, I'm unsure of what capacity car battery that i would need. The scooter charger is an input of 120/230 Volts auto detection, the output is 6Amps / 5Amps at 24 volts. I'm not 100% sure on what power inverter to go for.
And also would i need to recharge the car battery after every charge of the scooter via an inverter.
This is a bit of a crisis, as i live with my Son, as he's a youngster its unreasonable for me to expect him to run here there and every where. It would be a huge help if someone could suggest a car battery / inverter combination that would be suitable for off the grid charging.
Thanks for reading, i could really use the help with this.
Thanks again.
