DO NOT charge in an overheated state!
⚠️ Do not put it on the charger immediately after use!
Electric scooters and bicycles use air-cooled battery systems. These cannot maintain the battery cells at a constant temperature, unlike electric cars with liquid-cooled systems.
What happens after use?
During and after use:
- The drive heats up
- The battery also heats up
- After greater load, the vehicle may even shut down in a hotter state than allowed
❗ Do not put the battery on the charger in an overheated state.
Why is it dangerous?
During charging, the battery heats up further, which:
- Can damage the cells
- Can reduce its lifespan
- In case of excessive heat, can trigger thermal runaway (a dangerous overheating process)
✅ What should you do instead?
After use, wait at least 30–40 minutes before putting the scooter or e-bike on the charger.
This way:
- You protect the battery
- You increase its lifespan
- You reduce the risk of malfunction and fire
And the battery will thank you 🙂

Why Do Lithium Batteries Catch Fire? Causes, Warning Signs, and Prevention
Lithium batteries usually catch fire due to a process called **thermal runaway** — a chain reaction where heat builds up inside the battery faster than it can escape. This can be triggered by overcharging, physical damage, internal defects, or exposure to high temperatures.
