I didn't do a disassembly video for this electric scooter that has been stored in my daughter's garage for something like 8 years. I stripped it down to make it lighter so I could get it in the back of my car and transport it to the recycling centre. I now have 4 old lead acid 12 volt batteries to look at. They are probably scrap but I have put them in my garage until I have a chance to test them.

If you have a question it is probably worth reading this video description first because the answer may already be here. To help you find my videos I made two search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk or checkout my playlists page https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
