Need a Scooter Battery in Europe

parambyte · 23rd May 2018, 14:17

(Dear Mods, I hope this is the right thread to post this)

I for the purpose of some work, need this battery for a scooter in Europe (Specifically, Slovenia). I was told it may be difficult to source it, so asking here to all the automotive passionistas!

Battery specifications:
Battery voltage/capacity : 12V, 4.0Ah(10HR)
Battery Type: ETZ5

Though i don't have any useful info, just curious what scooter is this for? Does this scooter brand has dealers there in Slovania? If so they would be the right people to guide you further.

Hi... thanks for the reply. The scooter company is now sending me an uncharged battery which I have to charge at my end.

(Its for a shoot, and we are shipping the scooter, but the shipping company will not take the battery and of course the oils. They had asked us to locally source it, but our local contacts told us it may be difficult to source it, as majority of two wheelers there have different specs).

There's nothing too special about this battery.

As long as you get one with the same voltage, roughly similar amperage, and the same (or smaller) physical size -- you should be fine for the duration of the shoot.

Interestingly, terminals on these bike batteries seem to be different than car batteries - which seems to also simplify things.
