For example, if you’ve been storing your scooter in a garage or outside where it is below freezing. Charge when the battery is between 32 F and 113 F (0 C to 45 C)Ībsolutely do not charge your scooter when the battery might be below freezing temperature. We’ve produced a chart below that shows what the final voltage will be on a given scooter at optimal charge. This is called the sweet zone and can increase battery life up to 4X.įor individual cells, this ends up being between 3.36 volts (30% of capacity) and 3.96 volts per cell (80% of capacity) is optimal. You can prolong the battery life by operating it between 30% to 80% of its capacity. Operate your scooter within 30% to 80% of its battery capacity storing fully charged at elevated temperatures is especially bad. Storing above 30 C / 86 F will decrease life. Store your scooter in a cool and dry place. Due to self-discharge, you’ll need to check and top up the battery every 4 to 8 weeks to keep it at this level. Storing fully charged or discharged will accelerate battery degradationįor longer-term storage, like during winter months, store at 40% charge. Storing lithium ion batteries fully discharged is absolutely terrible for their longevity and #1 killer of good batteries. When storing for long periods, keep your scooter at 40% charge in a cool, dry place We’ve noted which recommendations are helpful, but impractical and excessive. These are the most important tips to prolong battery life, ordered from most to least important. Disconnect the scooter from the charger first, then unplug the charger from the wall outlet.
