Caring for your mobility scooter batteries properly will not only ensure you get the best possible performance; but will also cut down on unnecessary replacements and costly repair bills. It may initially seem somewhat of a chore of course, but is really nothing more than taxing than developing a sensible routine.
No matter how short trip, your battery should be placed on charge on your return. Indeed, mobility scooter batteries should be kept on charge unless being used; to ensure maximum capacity at all times. Not only does this improve both performance and lifespan, but also ensures you have sufficient power to complete your trip, should there be any surprises whilst you’re out.
Do be careful though. Whilst leaving a battery on charge is only sensible when using your scooter on a daily basis; it is not wise to leave it on charge as you head off to Malaga for two weeks in August, (see you there!). If you do, you may well come home to a nasty expensive mess.
Where you store your mobility scooter batteries is also important. Ideally, this should be in a shed or garage. If you have to keep the scooter and batteries in your home; ensure they are kept away from damp areas or areas subject to marked temperature changes.
Damp can be a terrible pain for many things, and this is particularly the case with scooters and their batteries. Similarly, if they get wet, this too could cause expensive damage. If you notice any moisture of any kind, wipe down all components as early as possible.
Following these tips should ensure your mobility scooter batteries last well, and should also help maintain the performance of the scooter itself. However, it is still advisable to have your scooter and battery thoroughly service ion a regular basis, to ensure no minor issues turn into more expensive problems.
