6. BATTERY
The capacity of lithium batteries decreases after several charging and
recharging cycles throughout its lifespan. The concept of life cycle exists
for lithium batteries (for example, about 300 on a scooter).This means that
from 300 COMPLETE cycles of charges and discharges, the battery will begin
to lose its capacity (similar to a smartphone battery).
This partial loss of capacity will not prevent the battery from functioning,
but will alter its performances and especially its operating life. The device
must be used and its battery recharged at least once a month: a lithium
battery will lose its charge even when the product is o. This is why a battery
that has not been charged for several weeks or less could lose some of
its capacity and become impossible to recharge. In addition, it is possible
to recharge a lithium battery after each use because there is no memory
eect.
In order to better preserve your device’s battery, here are some reminders
and instructions for use:
• Do not unplug the charger before the battery is fully charged.
• Store the product containing the battery in a cool place (temperature
> 0°C), preferably around 15°C. Be careful, as excessive heat will also
damage the battery.
• Avoid deep discharges. It is recommended to recharge the battery
before it reaches 40% of remaining charge.
• Avoid recharging the battery right after use. Let the scooter stand for
15minutes to an hour after use before recharging it.
• Avoid overloads. Do not leave the charger plugged in for more than
24hours, as it will heat up needlessly.
• When the product is not in use, recharge the battery once a month.
