Safety Precautions:
Safety should always be a top priority when dealing with lithium batteries. Here are some essential safety precautions to keep in mind:

Avoid Overcharging: Never leave your scooter's battery connected to the charger for extended periods. Overcharging can lead to damage or even safety hazards.

Protect from Extreme Temperatures: Lithium batteries perform best at moderate temperatures. Avoid exposing your scooter to extreme heat or cold, as it can affect battery performance.

Prevent Physical Damage: Be cautious when handling the battery. Avoid puncturing, crushing, or dropping it, as this can result in leaks or fires.

Use Original Chargers: Always use the charger provided by the manufacturer. Using third-party chargers can be risky and may damage the battery.

Charging Guidelines:
Properly charging your lithium battery is key to its longevity and performance. Here are some charging guidelines to follow:

Regular Charging: Properly charging your lithium battery is key to its longevity and performance. Here are some charging guidelines to follow:

Monitor Charging: Keep an eye on the battery while it's charging. Once it reaches a full charge, disconnect it from the charger to prevent overcharging.

Charge Indoors: Charge your scooter indoors in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid exposing it to rain or moisture during charging.

Storage and Maintenance:
Proper storage and maintenance can significantly extend the life of your lithium battery:

Storage: If you plan to store your scooter for an extended period, charge the battery to around 50% and store it in a cool, dry place. Check the battery charge periodically during storage.

Cleaning: Regularly inspect and clean the battery terminals to prevent corrosion. Use a soft, dry cloth for this purpose.

Extending Battery Life:
To get the most out of your lithium battery:

Avoid Deep Discharges: Try to avoid completely discharging your battery regularly. Lithium batteries perform best with partial discharge cycles.

Use Regenerative Braking: Many electric scooters are equipped with regenerative braking systems, which can help extend battery life by converting kinetic energy back into stored energy.

GOEEN's Lead-acid Battery Technology

What is a Lead Acid Battery?

Lead-acid batteries are a traditional type of rechargeable battery that has been used for decades in various applications, including electric scooters. These batteries consist of lead dioxide (positive plate), sponge lead (negative plate), and a diluted sulfuric acid solution (electrolyte). They are known for their reliability and affordability.

  • Extending Battery Life

Safety Precautions:
Safety is paramount when dealing with lead-acid batteries. Here are some essential safety precautions to keep in mind::

Ventilation:: Charge lead-acid batteries in a well-ventilated area to disperse any potentially harmful gases that may be produced during charging.

Avoid Tipping: Keep the battery upright and avoid tipping or tilting it, as lead-acid batteries can leak sulfuric acid if mishandled.

Protective Gear: When handling lead-acid batteries, wear appropriate protective gear such as gloves and safety goggles to prevent accidental contact with acid.

Charging Guidelines:
Properly charging your lead-acid battery is crucial for its performance and lifespan:

Regular Charging: Charge your scooter's lead-acid battery regularly, even if you don't use it daily. Avoid deep discharges, as this can reduce battery life.

Float Charging: If your scooter has a float charger, use it to maintain the battery at the correct voltage level.

Water Levels: For flooded lead-acid batteries, check and maintain the water levels in the cells. Use distilled water to top up if necessary.

Storage and Maintenance:
Proper storage and maintenance can significantly extend the life of your lead-acid battery:

Storage: If you plan to store your scooter for an extended period, charge the battery to a full state and disconnect it from the scooter. Store it in a cool, dry place.

Cleaning: Regularly inspect and clean the battery terminals to prevent corrosion. Use a mixture of baking soda and water to clean terminals if corrosion is present.

Extending Battery Life:
To maximize the lifespan of your lead-acid battery:

Avoid Deep Discharges: As mentioned earlier, avoid deep discharges whenever possible. Charge the battery before it becomes too depleted.

Proper Use: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for charging and discharging cycles. Overcharging or excessive discharging can harm the battery..
