Maintain Your Scooter Battery Charger
Although buying a new scooter battery charger is very cheap, know how to maintain the Scooter battery charger is very important, it can also prolong the life of you scooter battery.
Steps
- Plug the battery charger into the scooter or bike, before plugging it into a wall outlet. When the charging is complete, unplug charger from wall outlet before unplugging from scooter or bike.
- Recharge the batteries immediately after every ride to get the most life out of your scooter's batteries. Leaving a scooter battery in a partially discharged state for any amount of time lowers the useful life of the battery.
- Recharge the batteries at least every 3 months while the scooter is in storage. The Amperage of the battery charger may be decreased for longer battery life, or increased for a quicker recharge time.
- Use a slow rate battery charger whenever possible. This preserves the life of the batteries. If a scooter is driven for more than one battery cycle per day, then use a smaller battery charger overnight and a larger battery charger during the day is the best solution.
- Avoid using battery chargers with a higher Amp rating than the electric scooters original battery charger. These quick rate battery chargers are typically rated in the 3 Amp through 6 Amp power output range and recharge most electric scooter battery packs in 2-3 hours, however they will slightly lower the longevity of the battery pack when compared to using a slow rate battery charger.
