How Long Do Mobility Scooter Batteries Last?
With proper care, usage, and maintenance, most mobility scooter batteries last 2 – 4 years. However, some batteries can last upwards of five years.
How Can I Make My Scooter’s Battery Last Longer?
Avoid full cycle charging (0-100 percent in one go). Overnight charging is advised against. Instead of draining your battery then charging it up again, charge it at every opportunity. Make sure the battery never goes below at least 10 percent and ideally 40 percent.
Charge up to 80 percent as your charger will hold the battery at a high voltage to get to 100 percent, which could cause it to wear out faster.
What Are the Proper Charging Guidelines to Get the Most Out of Your Scooter Batteries?
Here are some tips to make your scooter batteries last longer:
➢ Do not fully deplete your battery before charging.
➢ Do not leave your battery discharged for a long time
➢ Charge the battery immediately after a short ride. Wait for 30 minutes for your scooter to cool down after a long ride before charging the battery
➢ Before storing your scooter, charge the battery 40-50 percent
➢ Always use the appropriate original charger
Do Mobility Scooter Users Need a Driver’s License?

Can I Carry a Person On My Scooter?
Some heavy-duty mobility scooters come with extra space to accommodate a passenger. If you intend to carry a passenger with you on your mobility scooter, call your local DMV’s office to enquire about rules and regulations relating to these scooters.
Can I Use My Mobility Scooter in the Rain?
Most mobility scooters operate perfectly well in slight rain. Be very careful when driving your mobility scooter in wet weather. If it starts raining heavily while you are driving, take cover to protect the electrical controls from water ingress.
Consider all-weather electric mobility scooters. These mobility scooters come with a roof that provides protection from sun and rain.
