This is a mobility scooter, the overload has smashed, so clearly needs renewing, marked 40 A 60 Hz 110 - 240 volt and supply is 24 volt DC from two 32 AH 12 volt AGM (VRLA) batteries, I also have a problem charging the batteries as the charger has gone walk about, which is how I found the damage where the battery has jumped up and smashed the overload, as needed to remove casing to gain access to charge batteries with two 12 volt chargers.
I have wanted to modify for ages, as one can't charge the batteries off the scooter, would be better to leave scooter in the car, and only take batteries in for charging, it is a large heavy lump to take in doors for no good reason.
But to replace with an AC overload does not seem right. Looks like this but it seems Amazon where I got picture from is out of stock. Only second hand ones on ebay. And would like to mount where not damaged if battery bounces.
