When to Charge Mobility Scooter Batteries

Scooters Buy customers frequently ask us how often they should charge their mobility scooter batteries. We recommend charging your scooter batteries once daily. Daily charging provides the best longevity and wear. Scooter batteries are safe to charge overnight, which is often the best time for most users. When you wake up, your scooter will be ready to use!

Most mobility scooter batteries today have automatic shut-off capabilities. This means you cannot overcharge your scooter battery.

Voltages of Mobility Scooter Batteries

All mobility scooters use 12V batteries. Most mobility scooters or electric wheelchairs will require two, 12V batteries. In total, you’ll have a 24v connection. As a rule of thumb, always start by reading the battery instructions. Follow the details provided by your scooter’s manufacturer for the best results. This will ensure you use the proper type of batteries for your scooter and keep your manufacturer warranty valid.
