3-5 years
The battery life of an electric scooter is generally 3-5 years, which is affected by usage habits, battery type and maintenance methods. Here are the key details:
Core influencing factors
Battery type: The mainstream lithium battery life is usually 3-5 years, and the number of charge and discharge cycles can reach more than 1,000 times. The lead-acid battery life is shorter, only 1-3 years.
Usage habits: Avoiding sudden acceleration/sudden braking and reducing high current discharge can extend the life. For example, reasonable speed control during commuting can extend the life to more than 5 years.
Environment and maintenance:
Avoid riding on rainy days to prevent the battery from being damaged by water.
When not in use for a long time, it needs to be fully charged and stored, and the power should be replenished once a month.
Avoid complete discharge and overcharging. It is recommended to charge in time when the power is less than 20%.
Common misunderstandings and solutions
Decrease in battery life: If the new battery changes from charging every 5 days to charging every 2 days, it may be battery attenuation or improper use. You need to check your charging habits or contact after-sales.
Charger selection: Be sure to use the original or adapted charger to avoid battery damage due to unstable voltage.
