How to Store and Charge Your Mobility Scooter Safely at Home

A mobility scooter is more than just a convenience — it’s your gateway to independence and freedom. To keep it reliable, safe and long-lasting, you’ll need to store and charge it properly at home.

Poor charging habits or improper storage can shorten the scooter’s battery life, damage components, or even create safety risks!

In this guide, we’ll share practical tips on how to store and charge your mobility scooter safely so it’s always ready when you need it.

1. Choose the Right Charging Spot

Always charge your scooter in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, damp areas, or places near flammable materials.

Place it near a standard wall socket (avoid extension cords where possible).
Keep the charging area free of clutter for safety.
Never cover the scooter or charger while it’s plugged in.

2. Follow a Regular Charging Routine

Mobility scooter batteries perform best when charged consistently.

Place it near a standard wall socket (avoid extension cords where possible).
Keep the charging area free of clutter for safety.
Never cover the scooter or charger while it’s plugged in.

Tip: Most modern scooters have intelligent chargers that prevent overcharging, but always check your manufacturer’s guide.

3. Don’t Overcharge or Undercharge

Leaving the scooter plugged in for weeks without use can damage the battery. On the other hand, undercharging or waiting until it’s completely dead also shortens performance.

Charge until the indicator light shows full.
Unplug once charging is complete.
If storing long-term, disconnect the battery and even if not used, recharge it every 4–6 weeks.

4. Store Your Scooter Properly at Home

Where you keep your scooter matters just as much as how you charge it.

Store in a dry, indoor space (garage, hallway, or dedicated corner).
Avoid extreme temperatures (heat damages batteries, cold reduces performance).
Keep tyres under-inflated if stored for long periods.
Cover with a breathable dust cover, not plastic sheets (to avoid condensation).

5. Safety Checks Before and After Charging

A quick check can prevent costly repairs or accidents.

Inspect charger cables for wear or damage.
Make sure the charging port is clean and dry.
Listen for any unusual noises from the charger (buzzing, overheating).
If you notice any burning smells or sparks — stop charging immediately.
