Update - Thursday

Update, today, Thursday, Jan 13


Well, after looking around the net, I found a nice online store with the parts I need! And, I found photos of the parts that broke for me.  It's pretty simple once you know what is broken!  


The previous person to put this part onto the other part didn't line up the threads properly and when I tried to remove it, the end became or was lodged into the male 3 prong connection.  That's why it was lodged and why it broke when I tried to unscrew the piece.


http://www.electricscooterparts.com/wireconnectors.html  is a great online store that shows exactly the part that broke.  Apparently, the female part of my connector was stuck into the male end of the
3 Pin Inline Plug3 pin Inline battery charger plug with solder connection posts.  
Item # CNX-505  AND 

3 Pin Inline Port3 pin Inline battery charger port with solder connection posts on back side of connector. 
Item # CNX-510



Not so bad, I think I can figure this out! 


Today's goals will be to check all the connectivity of the various pieces.  As I added another scooter, exactly the 
same as Bella Gela, for my darling husband, I have two to compare.   His came with brand new batteries so between the two, I should be able to come up with one good wiring set up and have two brand new sets of batteries and also a back up set...should I ever get too far out there!  


With Ultimeter in hand...


more to come!

Here is the final photo of the Charging problem.  It's what it looks like with the wire pulled through the now tortured and broken end.
