starter wont crank when cold

[dwint]

when my scooter sits over night it wont crank cause its cold.when I kick it and it warms up it will start.why would this happen.it acts like there is no power at all

Define cold
next is how old is the battery
even high quality motor sports battery only last 2 to 3 years

If your battery is good and has a full charge then you may not have a battery with enough cold cranking amps to start your scooter in cold weather they are equipped with batteries that are just big enough to geat by in warm weather

it doesn't even try to start,doesnt turn over and fully charged .battery a few months old and more  cold cranking amps than what it camewith

All connections clean and tight?

I was thinking along the line of a weak/bad battery too. How long has this been going on, is a light left on draining the battery down?

Common problems that cause a total lack of power to the starter include.
Not applying the break when starting and
A bad kick stand switch.

Again you didn't define cold
what temp is cold to me cold is temps below zero
that is why I run a 130 cca battery on a 50 and 70cc scoot ant at temps in the teens it won't work

Again you say more stock batteries are 45 cca so how many cca numbers make a big diffrence anything less then 100 cca won't work at 32 or less with these hm scooters

You say it won't turn over do you get a click or any sound when you hit the button if there is no sound at all its in the wires or a bad switch

If you get sound the temp is above 40 and you have at least 100 cca then it's time to look at conections

Well cold has been around 25at night.I didn't know they sold scooterbatteries with that many amps.I'll have to look into a better one I guess

This is what I run and where i get mine from www.batterystuff.com/powersports-batteries/sYT9A.html

I'm actually considering this one for my next battery www.batterystuff.com/batteries/lithium-iron-batteries/sstz7s-fp.html
