The calculations of the elastic scattering properties of ultra-cold francium isotopes are reported in detail. A parametric model potential for the triplet molecular states of the Fr-2 is represented, and the scattering lengths a(t) and the effective range r(e) are calculated using WKB and Numerov methods for Fr--Fr in the triplet state. The convergence of these scattering properties depending on a K-0 parameter and core radius is also investigated using two methods: Quantum Defect Theory and analytical formula of Symskoviski.
