Electric scooter and electric bicycle batteries can last 2-3 years or more if they are properly cared for and maintained.

To get the longest life out of your electric scooter or electric bicycle batteries recharge them after every ride, even very small rides. After short rides you can recharge the batteries immediately, however after long rides it is best to wait around 30 minutes to let the batteries cool down before recharging them. Leaving an electric scooter or electric bicycle battery pack in a partially discharged state for more than a few hours of time may cause internal oxidation of the batteries which lowers the useful lifespan of the batter pack.

When replacing electric scooter and electric bicycle batteries replace all of the batteries at the same time and with the same brand of batteries. If different brands of batteries are mixed together the different battery chemistries may cause internal oxidation of the batteries and lower the lifespan of the battery pack.

When an electric scooter or electric bike is in storage recharge the batteries at least every 30 days. If they are not recharged at least every 3 months the batteries will internally oxidize causing a shortened battery lifespan and a lower mileage range for the electric scooter or electric bike.

Do not throw your old electric scooter or bicycle batteries in the trash. Drop off your old used scooter batteries at a local recycling center that accepts used car batteries or at any auto parts store that accepts used batteries for proper disposal. When you recycle your electric scooter batteries they will be made into brand new batteries again. for an interactive online map with over 30,000 battery drop-off locations in the USA and Canada visit: www.Call2Recycle.com
