The range of a charge and the life of a battery are two different questions. The energy that is currently available counts for the range. The service life describes how usable capacity and performance develop over the years.
Why there is no reputable lump sum year
Lithium-ion batteries age through use and also during storage. Temperature, load, charge states and the concrete cell technology influence the course. Ageing can also be uneven. A fixed service life or guaranteed residual capacity cannot be derived from this for your scooter.
Check the warranty conditions of your specific battery separately from the expected technical service life. A calendar age alone does not show how much usable energy is actually left. With significantly changed behaviour, a professional investigation is more meaningful than an estimate based on the charging indicator.
A Laderoutine that fits your scooter
- Use the original charger or an expressly provided replacement.
- Check accessible cables, plugs and housings before charging.
- Charging on a suitable base, far from combustible materials and outside escape routes.
- Don't load in absence or while you're sleeping. After charging, disconnect the charger from the power.
- Let cooled batteries come to room temperature before charging.
The precise loading sequence and temperature limits are provided in the instructions. A general percentage rule does not replace these requirements. Do not drive the battery to the supposed care intentionally until the shutdown.
Plan longer service life
Store the battery dry and protected from heat and frost according to the manufacturer's specification. A medium charge condition is often recommended. Check him regularly during long breaks. Take a battery only if the vehicle is intended for it.
When you should ask for an exam
Note repeated charging interruptions, shutdowns during acceleration or a significant reduction in range under comparable conditions. Describe the displays on the scooter and charger separately. Send us model, year of construction and photos of the accessible type plates.
Do not reuse, charge or open a deformed, torn or bloated battery. Clear the safe further handling with a specialized centre. In case of a battery fire keep distance and the fire brigade under 118 Alert.
Replacement battery only after compatibility check
The same dimensions or a suitable plug are not sufficient. Voltage, battery management, charger and the intended design must fit together. About our Request for spare parts you can check the assignment and availability. We confirm prices and conditions for the specific offer.
