The battery-powered electric scooter is an environmentally friendly solution to the joy of play and the mobility convenience without generating CO2 pollution into the air. But the challenge to the users has always been how to maximize the life time of the costly sealed lead-acid (SLA) rechargeable battery which powers the scooter.
The high-voltage / high-current output SLA type electric scooter battery can degrade its performance or even be damaged as a result of insufficient recharging, incorrect recharging parameters or simply being left uncharged for a long period of time. We constantly receive emails and phone calls from electric scooter users asking what type of battery charger would best work with their scooters in order to prolong the battery life. "High power battery technologies such as lead-acid, nickel hydrogen or lithium type require different charging algorithms of varying charging voltage, current and timing in order to maximize the battery's energy storing capacity. The key is to choose a quality battery charger that is specifically designed for the type of chemistry used in the battery."
