Lithium vs Lead-Acid

Ruidi's lithium batteries last 2-3 times more cycles than lead-acid, weigh less and do not suffer memory effect. The difference shows in the end customer's total cost of ownership.

Correct Charging

  • Always use the original 2A-5A charger supplied.
  • Do not leave the battery at 0% for long; recharge to 20-30% if not in use.
  • Avoid charging at extreme temperatures (<0 °C or >45 °C).

Storage

If the scooter will be idle for weeks, store the battery at 50% in a dry place and check the voltage monthly. A well-stored lithium battery retains capacity for months.

Safety and Transport

Lithium batteries for scooters comply with UN38.3 and travel with an MSDS. For air or sea shipments, require the transport documentation and UN-approved packaging from the manufacturer.

Replacement Signs

  • Range below 60% of the original.
  • Abnormally long charging time.
  • Swelling or excessive heat from the pack.
