Why do my new batteries seem weak?

  • New batteries are fully charged when they are shipped to you. However, they may be exposed to extreme temperatures during shipping, which can affect their performance.

  • Heat can cause a battery to lose its charge, while cold can slow down the battery’s power output and make it take longer to recharge.

  • It may take a few days for your scooter’s batteries to adjust to the temperature in your home or office.

  • It also takes a few charging cycles (where the battery is partially drained and then fully recharged) to establish the chemical balance that is essential for a deep-cycle battery to perform at its best and last for a long time.
