What batteries are used, and where can replacements be purchased?
We use only Genesis batteries, the best scooter should only use the best batteries! Genesis batteries, in the 26 and 42 a/h sizes, significantly outperform other batteries of the same size and weight. In fact, the Genesis 26 A/h has the same burn time as the Powersonic 33A/h battery, for less weight and scooter size. Other advantages of the Genesis, longer life (2-10 years), greater cycle life, deep discharge recovery, and the possibility of faster charging times. With the Interacter 5 Amp charger, recharge times are approximately 3 hours for the UV-18, 5 hours for the UV-26 and 9 hours for the UV-42. Replacement batteries are available from Batteryweb.
