How to Charge Your Mobility Scooter Properly

Simple Tips for Safe Charging and Long Battery Life

Keeping your mobility scooter properly charged is one of the easiest—and most important—ways to ensure reliable performance and extend the life of your batteries.
Following a few simple charging practices can make a big difference in how long your scooter stays ready to go.

Here’s everything you need to know about charging your mobility scooter the right way.

1. Charge Your Scooter After Every Use

Best Practice:

• Plug in your scooter after each day of use, even if you only drove it a short distance.

• Fully recharge the batteries to 100% whenever possible.

Why it matters:
Batteries that are consistently topped off last longer than batteries that are deeply drained between charges.

2. Use the Correct Charger

Important:

• Always use the manufacturer-provided charger that came with your scooter.

• If you need a replacement charger, make sure it matches your scooter’s voltage and specifications exactly.

Using the wrong charger can damage the battery, void the warranty, and shorten battery life.

3. Charge in a Cool, Dry Location

Best Practice:

• Charge your scooter indoors, away from extreme heat, cold, or moisture.

• Avoid leaving the charger or battery exposed to direct sunlight, rain, or freezing temperatures.

Environmental factors can affect how well your battery charges and discharges.

4. Allow Enough Time for a Full Charge

Most scooters take 6 to 12 hours to fully recharge depending on battery size and level of discharge.

Tip:

• It's safe to charge your scooter overnight—the charger is designed to slow down and stop charging automatically when full.

5. Disconnect After Fully Charged (If Not Using)

While occasional overnight charging is fine, if your scooter will be sitting unused for more than a few days:

• Disconnect the charger once the battery is fully charged.

• Top off the charge every 1–2 weeks if the scooter isn’t being used regularly.

This helps prevent overcharging stress on the batteries during long periods of storage.
