How to make the batteries of your mobility scooter last longer

Here’s how to keep the batteries of scooters in excellent condition

Many people complain that the capacity of the batteries on their mobility scooters quickly deteriorates. In most cases, this is due to the fact that charging procedures are not followed or not followed correctly.

To keep your mobility scooter batteries vital it is very important that you charge the batteries regularly and completely, according to Plaza Movilidad scooter sales and rentals shop in San Pedro del Pinatar (Murcia).

Most customers underestimate the impact of their action on the life of their batteries. A regular and fully charged battery will normally last 2 to 4 years.

The most important rule to follow when maintaining battery life is to charge the batteries daily after use. When you recharge the batteries for 6-8 hours, the light of your charger will turn green, at this moment the batteries are only 90% charged. In practice, this means that the first green LED light will go out very quickly.

To charge them to 100%, you need to charge the batteries 4 hours more after the charger has turned green. For the bigger scooters, this means charging the battery every day after use, from dinner to breakfast – 8pm to 8am. Only then will you be able to use the full capacity of the battery.

Despite these measures, please note that the specified capacity (max. distance) is an average.

Here are three things that will affect the capabilities of your battery:

Continuously driving at maximum speed
The gradient of the road
The weight of the person

Because the lifespan of the batteries depend so much on the way in which they are treated, if people followed these rules the longer their batteries will last.
