Default I need the help of the forum for a friend that uses a scooter

a friend needs a scooter to get around and he lives in a condo that will not allow him to charge the scooter from the power in the garage. is their a battery pack charger his wife could charge in their condo to charge the scooter? or a conversion kit to use lithium batteries that she could remove easily and charge inside? I have included a link to the scooter

https://www.mobilityscootersdirect.c...y-scooter.html

thanks for the help you guys are the best

It uses two 12V-75AH gel or AGM batteries in series for 24V and they weigh about 50 pounds each. Lithium would be about half that weight.

There is a chat room at the link you posted. Maybe they might have some ideas.

Also, maybe let the condo manager have a read here, they may change their policy.

Check out. - https://www.wheelchairdriver.com/
Although based in the UK, John knows more about this than most. My wife is in a chair as needed and burgerman is in a chair all the time. He’s built some incredible equipment and graciously shared how it went.
Best to you 7and your friend.

Depending on your car ,I charge my scooter up all the time with the inverter I plug in my 12 volt lighter plug while driving. it keeps a full charge for me.

ADA is probably the best way to go.

The condo management probably has two routes of compliance. Let the mobility device be charged in the garage or provide a means of access to get the mobility device inside the user's condo so it can be charged.

the condo association will fight the ADA and threatens to kick them out which is why I was thinking maybe someone here has an idea of a way to mount a couple of batteries to run a charger to charge the onboard batteries

Wow, if they get kicked out over this, they would have a "slam dunk" lawsuit that lawyers would be lining up to take on, with drool pouring out of their "lie holes".

I understand you are looking for solutions, not lawsuits, but that thing will kill a car battery if you tried to charge from a car via a 110v inverter. Batteries that you would carry up to the house to charge would be too heavy for people who require a scooter to carry. I'm betting mounting a solar panel array would be just as much of a problem as plugging in.

Could they work out a fee to allow them to charge it where it is or is that not the issue?
