Your electric scooter's battery is its single most important component. Proper care can significantly extend its lifespan, saving you money and hassle in the long run. Here are some essential tips to keep your battery healthy.

1. Avoid Full Discharge

Try to avoid letting your battery drain completely to 0%. This can be stressful on the cells and reduce their overall capacity over time. A good practice is to charge your scooter when it reaches around 20-30%.

2. Don't Overcharge

While most modern scooters have a BMS (Battery Management System) to prevent overcharging, it's still best to unplug the charger once the battery is full. Leaving it plugged in for extended periods can generate heat and reduce battery life.

3. Store in a Cool, Dry Place

Extreme temperatures are a battery's worst enemy. Avoid storing your scooter in direct sunlight, or in very cold or hot environments. The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and 25°C.

4. Regular Use is Key

Batteries are like muscles—they perform better when used regularly. If you plan to store your scooter for a long time, make sure the battery is charged to about 50-60% and check it every few months to top it up.
