How to maintain Hoverboard Battery to prolong its service life?

The hoverboard battery is the energy source of the Self-Balancing Scooter, and how far the Smart Electric Scooter can ride basically depends on the Hoverboard Battery. How should the battery be maintained so that the hoverboard can ride farther? It must be a question that many balance car enthusiasts are concerned about. Here are some common methods, hoping to help you!

Under normal circumstances, try to keep the battery of the balance car fully charged

The hoverboard Battery currently used in the market are basically lithium batteries, and the self-discharge rate of lithium batteries is extremely low. It can be charged and discharged 3000 times, so its service life is relatively long. If you keep the battery as full electricity as possible, the service life is longer.

Some people may think that 3000 cycles of charging and discharging mean only 3000 times of charging, so in order to prolong the service life of the hoverboard Battery, they choose to charge the battery when the battery is completely exhausted. But it is actually a misunderstanding! In fact, 3000 times means that the cycle of charging and discharging is 3000 times. A charge-discharge cycle means the process from full to empty, and then from empty to full, which is not the same as charging once. So each charging before it is fully discharged to keep the battery of the electric balance car fully charged is equivalent to continuously extending the balance invisibly. A charge-discharge cycle is completed, thereby prolonging the service life of the battery.

Regularly check the charger

The battery of the balance car depends on the charger to keep it fully charged. For the charger it must also be taken seriously. Just because the charger can charge does not mean that the charger is in good condition.

Generally, electronic products may age after being used for a period of time, and chargers are no exception. If charger has been aging, but you continue to use them without knowing it, which may cause it cannot be fully charged or there is a problem of battery charging. And it will affect the service life of the battery of the electric balance car.

Pay attention to maintaining

Pay attention to maintaining the battery of the balance car, you can start from these aspects.

1. Regularly check whether the battery is firmly installed on the electric balance car to prevent the battery from being damaged by vibration when riding.
2. Regularly clean the dust and dirt on the battery box, keep the battery dry and clean, avoid the environment of the original battery, and then self-discharge.
3. Try to keep the battery away from a high-temperature environment, and keep a good ventilation environment when charging.
4. Try to avoid an excessive load of the electric balance car. The load capacity of the electric balance car is too large, which will inevitably lead to increase of current of motor and will cause excessive discharge of the battery and seriously affect the service life of the hoverboard Battery.
