How Do Electric Scooters Charge? 

 Your Guide to Keeping Your Teverun Rolling

Introduction: One of the most common questions for electric scooter enthusiasts, both new and experienced, is: "How do electric scooters charge?" Understanding the charging process is essential for maintaining your scooter's battery health, ensuring longevity, and maximizing your riding range. Whether you own a Teverun Blade Mini Pro, Blade GT II, or the powerful Fighter Supreme, this guide will demystify the charging process and provide tips to keep your Teverun scooter powered up and ready for adventure.

The Heart of the Matter: The Battery

At the core of every electric scooter is its battery. Teverun scooters utilize high-performance lithium-ion batteries, known for their energy density, relatively fast charging times, and long lifespan. These batteries store the electrical energy that powers the scooter's motor.

What You'll Need to Charge Your Electric Scooter:

1.The Scooter's Charger: Every electric scooter comes with a specific charger designed for its battery system. Using the correct charger is crucial for safety and battery health. Teverun scooters often come with fast chargers to minimize downtime.
2.A Power Outlet: A standard household electrical outlet is all you need.
3.The Scooter Itself: Ensure it's powered off before plugging in the charger.

The Charging Process: Step-by-Step

1.Locate the Charging Port: Your Teverun scooter will have a charging port, usually located near the deck or on the frame. It's typically covered by a protective flap to keep out dust and water.

2.Connect the Charger: Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet.Connect the charger's output port to your scooter's charging port. You should feel a secure connection.

3.Monitor the Charging Indicator: Most chargers and scooters have an LED indicator light.
Red Light: Typically indicates that the battery is charging.
Green Light: Usually signifies that the battery is fully charged.
Some Teverun scooters also display charging status on their LCD or TFT displays.

4.Charging Time: The time it takes to fully charge a Teverun scooter varies depending on the battery capacity (V and Ah rating) and the charger's output wattage
Smaller batteries on models like the Blade Mini Pro might charge faster.
Larger batteries on performance models like the Blade GT II or Fighter Supreme will take longer. For example, the Fighter Supreme 7260R, with its massive 72V 60Ah battery, will have a longer charging cycle compared to smaller models

5.Disconnecting the Charger: Once the indicator light turns green or your scooter's display shows 100%, disconnect the charger from the scooter first, and then from the wall outlet.

Tips for Optimal Battery Health and Charging:

Use the Official Charger: Always use the charger that came with your Teverun scooter or an official Teverun-approved replacement. Using incompatible chargers can damage the battery and pose a safety risk.
Avoid Full Discharge: Try not to let your battery drain completely to 0% regularly. It's better to charge it when it reaches around 20-30%.
Avoid Overcharging (Mostly): Modern scooters have Smart BMS (Battery Management Systems) that prevent overcharging once the battery is full. However, it's still good practice to disconnect the charger once it's fully charged, rather than leaving it plugged in for days.
Charge in Moderate Temperatures: Extreme heat or cold can affect battery performance and lifespan. Charge your scooter in a temperature-controlled environment (ideally between 10°C and 30°C / 50°F and 86°F).
Clean the Charging Port: Periodically check and gently clean the charging port to ensure a good connection.
Store Properly: If you plan to store your scooter for an extended period, charge the battery to about 50-70% and store it in a cool, dry place.

Teverun's Advanced Battery Technology:

Teverun scooters are equipped with Smart BMS technology. This system actively monitors battery cells, balances their charge, protects against overcharging, over-discharging, overcurrent, and overheating.
