Joined up to ask a Q. I just acquired an impala 2 electric scooter and cannot find ANYTHING on it. Could any1 here possibly shed some light on it for me? I was told it runs fine but needs new batteries (2) they have "tianyi" on the side. Can better batteries now be used? How much do they sell for in full working condition? Thank You, Matt.

plugged the charger in and it has green light,saying batteries are fully charged..turned the key...lights come on front panel showing batteries full. Everything works i.e lights etc so i guess the guy was right and its just 2 new batteries i need. See my 1st post for the q's i asked. thnx.
how much are replacement batteries/where would i get them/should i put better newer batteries in now? when were these made and how much do they sell 4 working?
i guess the voltage is on the batteries somewhere right? gulp...gonna need to rip it apart to get to em.
Right,i almost got the batteries out but it is all original,all soldered! (gulp) Many wires too and i am a total wire noob,this isn't looking good lol. This is written on the side of the batteries...
