How to Maintain Battery Life in Your Mobility Scooter in Cold Weather

As the temperature drops, so can the performance of your mobility scooter’s battery. Cold weather demands more from your battery, and without proper care, you might find yourself grounded. Banner Mobility provides essential tips to help you maintain and extend your battery’s life through the cold months.

Regular Charging: Cold weather can deplete battery power faster than usual. It’s important to charge your battery regularly, even if you haven't used the scooter much.

Proper Storage: Store your mobility scooter in a warm, dry place to prevent the battery from getting too cold. If possible, remove the battery and store it indoors in a cool, dry area.

Battery Warmers: Consider using a battery warmer, a wrap that goes around your battery to keep it warm, thereby maintaining its efficiency and longevity.

Avoid Complete Drainage: Never let your battery drain completely, especially in cold weather. This can cause permanent damage and significantly reduce its capacity.

Check Connections: Ensure that all battery connections are tight and corrosion-free. Loose or corroded connections can cause power issues.

Taking care of your mobility scooter’s battery during the colder months will ensure it remains reliable and ready to use. By following these simple tips, you can protect your independence and keep moving, no matter how chilly it gets outside.
