6 RULES HOW TO MAINTAIN A SCOOTER BATTERY.
Rule 1 – Just Do It
Keep your electric scooter’s battery charged
I know that majority of urban citizens do not burn the whole battery charge over one ride on their electric scooter to work and back home daily. However, it is better if you charge it in the evening anyway. Avoid totally depleting your scooter’s battery before charging. Always make sure it is minimum 10 % charged. If you charge your electric scooter' battery regularly and do not leave it discharged for a long time, it will help you a lot to prolong its life.
Rule 2 – Better Late Than Never But Better Never Late
Charge your electric scooter’s battery at the right time
You can charge your electric scooter straight after a short ride. If you had a long ride, give it about 30 minutes to cool down and then charge it. Do not leave your electric scooter with a significantly discharged battery for a few hours. Charge it promptly.
Rule 3 - By Failing to Prepare, You Are Preparing to Fail
Charge your electric scooter before storing it.
When you store your electric scooter for a long period, make sure the battery is at least 40-50 % charged. It is advisable to charge your scooter minimum once per 30 days. Leaving your scooter for about 3 months without charge will cause battery damage.
Rule 4 – The Greedy Pay Twice
Always use the appropriate original charger that fits your battery.
A charger is a significantly cheaper spare part than the battery so don’t risk it and just use the original charger that you are sure is designed for your electric scooter.
Rule 5 – Environment Matters
Keep your scooter and your scooter’s battery in a dry environment with optimal temperature.
Do not leave your electric scooter in freezing cold or under the sun in a middle of a sunny day. Keep the battery dry. Negative environmental conditions can damage the battery.
Rule 6 – Caution is the Parent of Safety
Never leave your electric scooter to charge unattended. Never charge, uncharge, use or store a damaged or puffy battery.
Polymer lithium batteries used in the majority of modern electric scooters are very powerful and have to be treated with extreme caution. Unappropriated charging, damage or overheating can result in a fire. Do not leave your electric scooter to charge overnight. Always supervise the electric scooter while it is charging and avoid battery over-charge. Do not use, charge or leave a damaged battery unattended and follow the disposal protocols immediately.
