A lot of customers ask us what the average life expectancy of a battery for a mobility scooter is and the answer varies depending on how often you use it. Typically speaking, batteries for mobility scooters will last about 1.5 to 2 years if used on a daily basis. If they are not used on a daily basis, then you might get up to 3 years out of a battery that is treated with care. Best practices include using your scooter when the charge is above 25%. If the battery charge is below 25% you should stop using it and begin charging. Mobility Scooter batteries should never get drained down to 10% batter or less as that can cause the battery cells to go bad. If you think your mobility scooter batteries are bad, use the video below to check.

Most chargers are “smart chargers” so you don’t need to disconnect the charger after it reaches a full charge. If you have a very old scooter then you may want to only charge your battery until it is fully charged and then disconnect the charger as soon as possible to avoid overcharging.
