Accumulators and batteries for e-scooters and electric scooters
The battery, the charging times and the range are important elements in the decision to buy an e-scooter or e-scooter. The maximum range is influenced by the battery. The charging time is decisive for when you use your electric scooter again or when you need to. temporarily cannot use.

Most batteries are removable. This allows you to conveniently charge the battery at home. However, there are also batteries that are permanently installed. So you have to go all the way to the socket with your e-scooter to recharge it. In order to extend the service life of the battery, it should be charged regularly. If this does not happen for a long time, total discharge can result. Many manufacturers of electric scooters choose one of two types of batteries, each with their advantages and disadvantages.

What types of batteries are there with e-scooters?
The heart of the electric scooter and an electric scooter is the battery. Just as fuel vehicles have to fill up with petrol, the electric scooter battery requires electricity to move forward. Accumulator cells and battery cells that are still short-lived are currently the main reason why electric vehicles have sold unexpectedly more difficultly in recent years. The battery capacity is often exhausted after a few kilometers because the lithium batteries cannot store enough energy. You can find out here which alternatives are available and how to properly care for the battery of your small electric vehicle so that it reaches its maximum battery performance.

With an e-scooter, the battery power is measured in "watts", "amps" and "volts". If you want to buy an e-scooter that has a high wattage, you also have to expect that it will consume a lot of electricity while charging. Often the number of watts is mistakenly seen as a decisive factor for the performance of the battery. How far you can get with an e-scooter battery is determined by the number of volts and with regard to the driving time, amperes are important. You get amps by dividing watts by the electrical voltage (volts).

A battery with more ampere hours means longer driving times and greater range for you.
In both the electric scooter and the e-scooter, the battery of some types can be easily removed and recharged at a normal socket at home. So that the e-scooter battery always remains efficient, it should be charged regularly.

How powerful the e-scooter battery should be in the end cannot be answered across the board. It is always an advantage if the desired model can be purchased in different battery capacities and price ranges. If you want to buy an electric scooter, you should consider the type of distance and speed. Based on these factors, you can then find an e-scooter with the optimal performance for you.

A comparison of lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries

  • both robust
  • both insensitive to cold
  • low price - high price
  • heavy weight - very light weight
  • withstand a few charging cycles - withstand a large number of charging cycles
  • longer charging time - short charging time

Of course, this comparison only gives a general overview of the important criteria of a battery or rechargeable battery. It certainly depends on the quality of the brand. We therefore advise you to only buy premium products when buying your e-scooter. The battery issue is particularly important. Because the scooter does not drive with an empty battery and the joy of the new vehicle is gone.
