How To Care For Your Mobility Scooter Batteries
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.
It may seem obvious; but a high number of people neglect to charge their batteries correctly. After every trip, your battery should be placed on charge, whilst each unit should be charged for a period of at least 8 hours in any twenty four hour period. The easiest way to ensure your battery is always sufficiently, and appropriately charged, is to leave it on charge all the time.
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.
It is also important to store your scooter and battery well. Now I haven’t got a garage to park it in, so it lives in my hallway. I did have an interesting episode some time ago though; leaving the battery charging next to the storage heater. Not my best move ever, … Won’t be doing that again!
If your battery and/or scooter does become wet in away, ensure it is thoroughly wiped with a dry cloth immediately.
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.
