unfortunately the clock has its own battery
- you can do this by yourself only if you have good mechanical skills as you have to dismantle the whole dashboard/handlebar!
- better you ask your vespa-shop to do it on your next service...
(a LR43 button cell is needed)
Looks like a normal battery, it should be under the seat. Scooters makers somtimes put a storage compartment under the seat. So you must remove one of the side panels.
When you receive a new battery unless you get it from a local dealer you will have to fill with acid before charging. The acid is usually supplied in a plastic bottle with the battery.
Initially, have to inform you, have not worked on one. Being in the Philippines most that I have laid my hands on are Japanese with a sprinkling of Italian but don't recall ever working on a French scooter. Sorry.
Still as you posted "Any advice...", allow me to do some guesstimate:
most scooters would have the battery located low;
would not be more than 50 cms away from the starter motor/engine;
being a 125 engine, battery would have to be about 7A/H, a bit heavy, therefore battery holder would not be on any of the plastics, chances are to the frame;
likely to be under the seat but there would be the helmet compartment, so maybe lower.
With the above assumptions:
either under the helmet compartment front of the engine (but would have an easy access panel/lid; or
under the footrest/floorboard.
Pls update how close or how far, curious myself. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy New Year.
