12V 5.4AH Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Battery for Razor E100 E125 E150 Review

Bring your e100 back to life! This battery does a great job if you need replacements. The e100 takes two batteries so be sure to purchase two of them. You will need to solder the existing wiring harness to the batteries. They are also very slightly bigger than the originals so you will need to remove the battery brackets inside the e100 tray.

As always, replacement batteries from the manufacturer are priced crazy, these are a perfect lower cost alternative. Contrary to what other reviewers say, you DO NOT have to do any soldering, just cut the battery wires (there are 4 of them on the E100 and E150 2 red and 2 black) as close to the terminals as possible and strip off a 1/4" of insulation. Make sure you only do one battery at a time and mark the wires so you know which set go on which battery. Then just attach a quick connect terminals to all the stripped wire ends, which are availabe at any Radio Shack, and you can just slide them onto the new battery terminals. The upside is that if you ever have to replace the batteries again (even with religious devotion to turning the scooter off when not in use and regular charging, they only last about 2 seasons) you'll be able to just slide the contacts off the old battery and onto the new one!!

Best Deals for 12V 5.4AH Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Battery for Razor E100 E125 E150

My daughter's Razor electric scooter (E100) stopped charging, so I guessed it was the battery and saw that they were pretty expensive through Razor. I opened up the scooter and saw that the batteries (2 identical 12V's jammed under the deck) appeared pretty generic and I found these here, so I ordered (you need 2 of them).

The replacement process requires some cutting and soldering of wires, so it's not that simple, but for anyone with the least bit of automotive or electrical experience, it should be a cake-walk.

It's a bummer that these batteries are so suceptible to abuse and damage (you should not leave the scooter on when not in use, which is hard for kids to remember), but at least they're fairly inexpensive to replace.

Shipping was faster than expected, the price was great and they fit perfectly. Still working as expected so far.

When it comes to aftermarket batteries sometimes you get what you pay for. Time will only tell if they hold up.

I never expect more than one year of service life from a non OEM battery.

I can't give 5 stars until I see how they hold up. 20 years IT Professional.

Got these batteries very fast in the mail and replaced the dead ones in my Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS). I have several UPS in the house for various devices. Works great, and much cheaper than going to "Batteries -RUs" for replacements. No problems.

In the analysis of buying a Tender Jr. vs. a Tender Plus, the main issues are time to full charge, battery size, & parasitic draw. The Tender Plus (1.25) will get the job done twice as fast as the Tender Jr. (0.75). Both now are similar architecturally, save it be the charging power & lack of temperature compensation on the Jr. They both are 4 stage, both have the same sophisticated computer chip technology running the charging process, etc... I spoke to The Deltran(The Manufacturer) customer service department on 3 different occasions, making sure I had the facts right. The first 2 times I was misinformed about the temperature compensation issue. I am editing this review to be accurate as of today's date of 12/01/10. Because The Plus will bring a battery to full charge twice as quickly as The Jr. will, The Plus has a much better chance at overcoming a parasitic draw on your batteries power. Modern cars have sophisticated electronics that require constant power 24/7. Check all your battery connections & your alternator belt!!! If the connections are not clean & tight, clean it with original coca-cola and a rag / brush, make sure they fit snugly. If your alternator belt is too loose it will not charge your battery properly. If you only want to buy one Tender, don't cheap out, buy The Plus if you have the money to do so. If you want to buy 2 or 3 Tenders to make sure all your batteries are fully charged, the Jr. will probably do just fine. I personally alternate The Jr. between 3 different cars, if I had it to do over again, I would buy The Plus instead as I am not a patient person. Both models will turn off in 72 hours automatically if a full charge is not reached, & neither will start charging without at least 3 volts stored in the battery before initiating a charge. If you left your lights on for 4 days like I did, get a jump, & drive your car around for 30 minutes before hooking up any Tender to charge your dead battery. Either of these 2 Battery Tenders are the best in the world, don't bother doing anymore research, I have done it all for you. Buy one or buy both!!! I bought The Plus model a few months ago also... These babies save you $$$, time & frustration!!! Get the 25 foot extension if you want to charge a car that sits in the driveway, it's only $12. You might also want to buy the Cigarette Lighter Apapter to charge cars that have the battery in the trunk, like the BMW E39 models.

I bought my first Battery Tender Jr. about 20 years ago (for an antique car that I drove infrequently) and it worked fine for over 15 years. I included it with that antique car when I sold it, and as far as I know, it still works.

Based on my prior experience, on November 4, 2010, I bought another Battery Tender Jr. from Amazon for another infrequently driven car. It is now less than 1 year later, and that Battery Tender Jr. got so hot that the plastic case buckled and separated at the seam. So, planning to return it under warranty, I read their terms. Not only do I have to pay to ship that defective unit back to Deltran (which I expected), they also charge a fee for "Warranty Evaluation, Shipping & Handling"! That is OUTRAGEOUS! Since I have my receipt, my fee would be only $7.95 (if no receipt, fee is $11.95). It would cost me $18.90 ($7.95 plus $10.95 USPS Flat Rate medium box) to return it (or $22.90 if I didn't have a receipt which is more than the $21.39 cost of a new one from Amazon delivered!) Why bother with a warranty claim? If that was Deltran's plan from the outset to discourage warranty claims their so-called "warranty" is a fraudulent misrepresentation.

No doubt that my first, 20-year old Battery Tender Jr. was made in the USA. Not so with the second one the label says "Made in China". A piece of Junk!

The battery Tender Jr. comes with 1 set of permanent mount ring terminals & 1 set of mini jumper cable clamps so you can hardwire 1 car & use the clamps whereever they are needed.The 1-way quick disconnect on the cord makes things very easy to hook up & unhook. And it is maintaining my battery fine, no more dead car.

Ordered this product and received it quickly. Unfortunately it did not work correctly. After speaking with the company and trying their suggestions to fix it they finally agreed to allow me to return it for a replacement. They didn't want to pay the return shipping but finally agreed to that as well. I don't like it when I am forced to negotiate to get what should be normal in a defective product situation. After receiving the new charger it worked or at least seemed to work okay. After a couple weeks I checked on it and it was doing the exact same thing as the original charger. It made me wonder if they sent the same one back to me. I must confess I was tired of dealing with it so I just chocked it up to a loss. I did not want to get into another negotiation with return shipping and trouble shooting. I guess they won the round but lost a customer. I will not buy from them again.

The charger came in the mail as I was leaving the house and my phone was running low. I brought it with me and plugged it and charged up the phone. Why I love this product is the retractable cord. In the storage compartment of my car I have so much stuff including other products with cords and they get all tangled up. I can just throw this in the storage and never need to worry it will get tangled up with all my other junk! I was also concerned about the plug. It was fine. It has a lock that you need to pinch in order to unplug it, but it's no problem. Only gave it 4 stars because I don't know how it will hold up. The cord is quite thin but I'm optimistic it'll be okay since it's retracted most of the time.

I ordered this battery charger to replace a Die Hard that died. We commonly have to either keep vehicles that are sitting for months at a time on a trickle charge or sometimes jump a vehicle with a dead battery.

This charger does great with everything we hook it to. Some of the settings and displayed feel a little too dumbed-down for my taste.

The main feature that would make this charger a lot better for my use would be charging a battery that is completely dead. Right now, if we want to use this charger on a dead battery, we have to hook a charged battery up to the dead one so that the charger will realized it is hooked up. Once the charger starts the charging cycle, we can unhook the good battery.

Edited....After several months, I have had problems charging some Optima batteries. At times it will stop charging after an hour or so and just blink.

First of all, it works. I've used it to bring one dead battery back to life and right now I'm staying up late baby sitting another dead battery that's connected to this thing.

My problems with this product have to do with useability.

First, the instructions are scatterbrained. The essentialy information you need to use the device is all over the place. I really would have appreciated a single sequential set of instructions followed by the troubleshooting guide. And, the instructions don't seem to tell everything. I had this thing display "OL" in the LED which I assume was "overload", but the little instruction sheet said nothing about this error code.

Second, and much more infuriating, is that the controls are labelled with a font and color combination that is just about unreadable even up close with my reading glasses on and a flashlight on the controls. No, my eyesight isn't that bad! It takes a very special talent to create a product that comes with all kinds of safety warnings, and really looks like you could blow some thing up if you used it wrong, and then makes the control labels almost unreadable. Nice going there people!

I bought this one believing some engineering and quality stays behind the company. Unfortunately it was not the case.

CONS:

1. It has awful design. It is impossible to read button labels thanks to the red background and crappy small font.

2. Voltage readings are not accurate. It lowers the voltage up to 0.8V compared to my calibrated voltmeter. I dont believe it is due to averaging.

3. It could be dangerous to car and battery. As many people noticed about Schumacher's "smart" chargers they tend to elevate charging voltage up to 16-17 V. In my case voltage quickly jumped to 16.5V at 13A and was staying to the end of charging on BMW X3 with AGM 90Ah battery. No, it was not dedicated "desulfation" mode, just a regular charging of slightly depleted 2-years old battery. Yes, before charging I made sure the car went to sleep with no loads on the battery because it can make electronics crazy. I contacted their support and they told me that "Most of our microprocessor controlled units can have a charging voltage as high as 15.4 volts while charging in AGM mode, which has been determined to be safe for most AGM batteries. In your case, you could try setting the unit to the Gel setting, which should have a maximum charging voltage of 14.7 volts". Seems to be glitchy firmware/design/electronics.

4. Very loud fan.

5. Not the best clamps and wires.

PROS:

1. Heavy and durable.

2. Works good on BMW 335i with conventional lead-acid battery. No high voltage issues.

I normally tote around a backpack between home and work with different gadgets, components and accessories spread across different pockets in my jeans, backpack or just carrying lose in my hand. This travel container helps put it all in one place with enough variety of sized spots to meet most needs.

Hopefully you find this video review (my 2nd, ack!) helpful.

UPDATE: I remembered after the video I could have thrown in my GPS, my fLIP and a 5inch camera/video tripod. Very cool case!

The case is a semi-hard shell case with multiple dividers and pockets inside for every variety of add-ons and accoutrements you need for your electronic gear. Think, rubber pull tabs make opening and closing extremely easy. The width may be a bit thick for some briefcases, but it fits fine in my Booq EXO XL case.

I'm an IT professional and occasional writer, so no matter what I am doing that day to make a living, I have to carry a variety of electronics with me. My standard load includes: iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro 13", card readers, a variety of SD cards, flash drives and two 2.5" portable hard drives. That means I have a lot of stuff to plug in and charge, be it at a client's office or at a cafe. And this travel case holds the power chargers for the MacBook Pro, the iPad, the iPhone, all the variety of cables for the hard drives, all the SD cards and readers and a stack of business cards. I can fit one of the 2.5" hard drives in it as well if I need to, but usually I leave those in pockets in my briefcase.

After years of electonica ruling or at least enabling the world, it's like someone finally put some thought into the cases those devices need. I'm surprised it took so long. The pockets and layers and pouches inside are all well thought out, solid but not intractable so they can adapt to any device, be it the huge ugly brick of a Toshiba laptop or the rounded compact Apple wall chargers. The zipper pickets perfectly fit everything from memory cards to iPod cables. And you can see though the mesh so there is no fumbling around.

I have only had this about 10 days but it's standing up to pretty rigorous use. It's MUCH studier and better-made than any Case Logic or other brand cases. Those usually last me about three months each, cost the same, but those seem outright primitive in details and product design compared to this case.

I have been impressed with the whole AmazonBasic line they are exclusively the cabling and blank media I buy now. For a line Amazon seems to be paralleling with "generic" goods, AmazonBasic as a line is superior to to the "name" brands.

Although the charger has a Nokia label, I expcected better quality and wonder if it is a knockoff. The charger was very tight fit into my car's charger port; so tight that I was concerned about damaging the charger port. I attempted to squeeze the two spring blades a little closer so the fit were not so tight, but one of the blades cracked. Now, however, the charger fits much easier.

My next disappointment is the short cord, which barely reaches from the charging port to a tray on the console.

Oh, and, yes, it does a great job of charging my phone.

No matter, though, since phone plug renders it useless. Everything about it conveys, "NOT NOKIA". Not worth the trouble of sending back or pursuing with Reiko just to recoup "shipping" charge. Typical China-made junk. Had exact same plug issue with Radio Shack version, also. Difference there was they didnt have the obvious cheap price/bogus shipping charge scheme.
