RE: TIRES,,,,,need 4

Just curious why you want an all terrain tire if you don't intend to go in the dirt? A straight hiway tire will be quieter and give you a smoother ride. And do better on ice.
I generally buy the cheapest. Works for me for over 50 years. But I do things differently with the bike. :)
I live in the rural section of Az all dirt roads like washboards. so thats why i think i would like a stronger tire for to and from the main roads and house...... i had the Passenger tires on the truck when i bought the truck in 2012 and they only lasted 20 ,000 miles before all tires got flats within 2 weeks of each other and all split right in the threads from the rocks...... at that time the tire guy advised me to get the LT tires and go from the P275/60R20 to the LT265/20R20 size and made a huge difference and never a problem again with flats or anything. have 40,000 miles on them now and thread is hardly worn, sidewalls still look good but the heat is a killer out here and so far 6 years might be getting to the worn point from the heat... truck rides really smooth and quiet and to me even better that the OEM P275/60 R20 tires and never have ice out here so i figured i would stick with them. just some sticker shock compared to when I bought these, LOL................... thanks for your post

RE: Battery question???? XXXX UPDATE XXXXX

xxxxx UPDATE xxxxxx, USED THE SCOOTER FOR THE PAST WEEK and even after 4 days of good use the batteries still showed a full charge... on the 5th day of use the meter dropped one green light.. put it on the charger for a few hours and back to full for the next few days.
I contactED the mighty max battery company in NJ and explained to the tech about the 15.2 volt reading and still charging and without hesitation he stated that that volts concerned him and believed that i received a defective battery... they sent a new one out yesterday and a return paid postage to return the other battery for them to check... should have it by the end of the week and will install it and let u know the findings with the new one....
seems like a pretty good company to deal with... AGAIN THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR RESPONSES AND ADVISE....................

RE: Battery question???? XXXX UPDATE XXXXX

everything back together and drove the scooter around a little and seems fine. will be using it the next 5 days so will see how the batteries do. maybe will put a couple leads to the pos and neg terminals so they are on the outside and than i can test the volts on the batteries each day without having to remove the shroud. thanks again to all for ALLLL ur help and advise... will check back in a week or so and let u know how they did... stay safe...

RE: Battery question???? XXXX UPDATE XXXXX

12V (volt), 35Ah (amp hour) rated battery capacity. 24V output means 2 series batteries for double the capacity (24V @ 35Ah).
that sounds good, just why I have in there,,,,,

Why does that say for 12-35Ah Batteries only?
DON'T KNOW,, thats what came with the scooter when i got it 4 years ago... it worked fine for all those years with the batteries which came on the scooter which are the same as the new ones just a different brand.. old batteries where for 2016 and started to lose charge pretty quick when in use...

Battery question???? XXXX UPDATE XXXXX

bought 2 new batteries for my mobility pride scooter, 12 V U1AGM 35AMP BATLIQ1017..... INSTALLED THEM TODAY and before charging them they tested at 12.7 v.. put the scooter charger on and both batteries showed 13.4 v,.
my question..... the charger has been on for about 5 hrs now and the charger still shows red light on which means they are not fully charged yet... i tested the batteries and one showed 15.2 and the other 14.8..... i unplugged the charger for now because i am not sure if they are to much charged.. is it normal for new batteries to show a reading so high even though the pride charger says they are not fully charged yet?? should i plug the charger in again tomorrow and continue to charge until the charger shows green like it usually does????? thanks for any advise..

RE: wiring a 30 Amp Power Outlet 30A Circuit Breaker {{UPDATE}}

OK received the box today and as ya'll said it seems pretty straight forward. Just one question about the ground wire, green... as seen in the attached picture there are 2 place to put the green wire.. not sure if it matters, but do I put the green ground wire into the silver lug attached to the box or do I put it to the screw where the box ground wire is now attached???? black goes to black and white to white as i have outlined in the picture...... just asking about where to attach the ground. thanks to all again for the help

installing this box this weekend for my TT and a quick question. as far as the ground goes, does it hurt to pig tail my ground green wire and screw it to the lug on the box and also to the screw where the existing ground wire is now in the box.. does it matter if its grounded twice in the same box?????? thanks
