Your mobility scooter is your key to independence — and keeping it powered up is essential to staying mobile and confident throughout the day. A well-maintained battery not only lasts longer but also helps you avoid unexpected breakdowns or expensive replacements.
Here at MSB Mobility, we want you to get the most out of your scooter. That’s why we’ve put together some top tips to keep your battery in great condition and extend its life.
🔋 1. Charge It Regularly – Even If You’re Not Using It
It might seem like a good idea to let your battery rest when the scooter’s not in use, but batteries don’t like sitting idle. Make it a habit to charge your battery after each use — even if you only went a short distance.
Tip:If you’re not using your scooter for a while, give it a full charge every few weeks to keep the battery healthy.
🌡️ 2. Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Batteries don’t get along with very hot or very cold weather. Extreme temperatures can reduce battery performance and lifespan.
Tip:Store your scooter indoors or in a dry, temperature-controlled space if possible. Avoid leaving it in a cold garage or out in direct sunlight for long periods.

🔌 3. Use the Right Charger
Always use the charger that came with your scooter, or one recommended by MSB Mobility. Using the wrong charger can damage the battery or reduce its efficiency.
Tip:If your charger becomes faulty, give us a call — we can help you find a suitable replacement.
🚫 4. Don’t Let the Battery Run Completely Flat
Consistently draining your battery down to 0% can shorten its lifespan. Instead, try to recharge when it drops to around 30–40%.
Tip:Keeping your battery between 40–80% charged is ideal for long-term health, especially for lithium batteries.
🧼 5. Keep It Clean and Dry
Moisture and dirt can affect the battery terminals and reduce efficiency. Make sure the battery area is kept clean, dry, and free of corrosion.
Tip:Wipe down the battery terminals gently with a dry cloth now and then, especially after wet weather.
🛠️ 6. Get It Checked Annually
Like a car battery, your scooter battery should be checked as part of your annual service. Our team can assess the battery’s condition and let you know if a replacement is needed before any issues arise.
Tip:Book your annual scooter service with MSB Mobility for a full battery health check and peace of mind.
🔋 A Healthy Battery = A Happier Journey
By looking after your battery, you’re ensuring your scooter stays reliable, safe, and ready to go when you need it most. A little care goes a long way — and if you’re ever unsure, we’re only a phone call away.
