[QUOTE="Karaid, post: 473635, member: 30844"] HI new here so hope this is right place to post. I have a mobility scooter and the lights are so poor as to be useless and what I consider unsafe. I want to add additional lights but have no idea to how to figure out if they will draw too much power, making them a bad idea. The mobility scooter runs on 24v provided by 2x 12v 50ah batteries in series thus giving the 24v and under ideal conditions is supposed to have a range of 25 miles. The lights are a pair of LED Pods at 18w so a total of 36w. (I have found lower wattage ones but these seem to be the most popular) Would the power draw of these be too much for the batteries? Would the power draw significantly reduce the range? Is the whole idea nonsense and I should get bicycle lights ( which I really don't want to do for various reasons)? Any help would certainly be appreciated. Many Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
