Batteries & charging in the cold
If you use your walking scooter during the winter months, it is particularly important for you to remember that the battery's capacity and thus range decreases in cold weather. Despite the cold, charging can be carried out as usual.
This is how you charge your batteries
How you charge your batteries depends on the type of charger you use. Here's a simple guide to ensure your batteries are charged efficiently and safely.
Standard smart charger (Included)
When charging, always charge until the battery is fully charged. You can safely charge for several hours without the risk of overcharging. Maintenance charge your batteries at least once a month to avoid deep discharge.
Smart maintenance charger (Optional)
With a smart maintenance charger, you can charge your batteries until they are fully charged and then leave the charger connected for up to six months. This charger takes care of the maintenance of your batteries, extending their life and ensuring optimal performance. Maintenance charge at least once a month to avoid deep discharge.
About Eloped's batteries for walking scooters
Our batteries are AGM type lead batteries. Because they contain no liquid, AGM batteries are maintenance-free, making them ideal for long-term use. Never store an AGM battery discharged as it may be damaged. It is recommended to never discharge an AGM battery more than 80%, see the graph below.

Handling of used batteries
When changing batteries, we take care of your used batteries and hand them over for recycling. If you do the battery replacement yourself, remember to sort and recycle the used batteries properly. Recycling centers have special stations for lead batteries so that they are handled correctly and minimize environmental impact.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your batteries perform at their best even in cold weather conditions and that they are managed in an environmentally friendly manner. Contact us for more tips and products to help you optimize your battery management all year round.
