Charging Best PracticesUpdated 11 hours ago
Keeping your electric scooter charged properly helps maximize battery life and ensures you’re always ready to ride. Here are some simple tips to get the most out of your scooter’s battery:
When to Fully or Partially Charge
- Partial charges are great for daily use: It’s best to charge your scooter up to about 80% rather than a full 100% most of the time. This helps extend the battery’s overall lifespan.
- Full charges only when necessary: Charge to 100% only when you really need the maximum range for a longer trip or when the battery is very low.
- Avoid letting the battery drain completely: Try to recharge before the battery drops below 20% to protect battery health.
How Often to Charge
- Charge regularly: If you use your scooter daily, charging after each ride or every couple of days keeps the battery healthy.
- Don’t overcharge: Most scooters have smart chargers that stop charging when full, but unplugging once charged to about 80% is a good habit.
- Avoid frequent deep discharges: Keeping the battery between 20% and 80% charge is ideal for longevity.
Storage Tips When Not Using Your Scooter
- Store with a partial charge: If you won’t use your scooter for a while (weeks or months), charge it to about 50-70% before storing.
- Keep it cool and dry: Store your scooter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Charge periodically during long storage: Check the battery every 1-2 months and recharge to 50-70% if it has dropped significantly.
