What size tamper proof Allen wrench for external battery?

Postby SuperUnkn0wn0ne Tue Jul 30, 2019 7:58 pm

Anyone know the exact size needed for the external battery screws on the rental version es4's? I have two sets of Chinese made torx and Allen head tamper proof t-handles and unless I have a defective set none of them fit the 2 screws holding the external battery to the rail. Thanks.

Should be TS15 to attach battery to rail.

I haven't seen anything used other than size 3 tamperproof hex screws. Some security bit sets have it, the bit's usually just *barely* long enough for a driver to grab onto it.

These are the set I use:

It's the T15. I had another set that weren't as long and it was really hard to to get a tool deep enough, but these bits are longer and my standard driver has no issue.

The ones I have seen all have tamperproof M3 Allen Hex, not torx.
I suppose it can differ between countries or regions.

It’s a long reach tamperproof 3mm hex actually not a torx

I've bought three batteries on eBay (most are unbranded and perhaps came from rental fleets). All three used tamper resistance T15. Many of the auctions state this. This again is US scooters and US batteries, but again all three came from eBay and I suspect they all came from rental fleets given they're unbranded. The purely retail battery may have a different setup, so just pay attention based on what you're buying.
