🧊 Storage Precautions – Off-road Electric Scooter

1. Water Resistance Reminder
Your scooter is rated IPX4 – protected against splashing water from any direction for 10 minutes.
👉 Avoid riding in heavy rain or through deep water for extended periods to prevent damage.

2. Proper Storage Environment

Store in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight, heat, or moisture.
Keep the scooter elevated to prevent tire deformation from prolonged pressure on the ground.

3. Long-Term Storage – Battery Maintenance
If you won’t be using the scooter for an extended time:

Charge the battery to 50–80% before storage.
Recharge at least once every 2 months to prevent battery damage.

🔋 Battery-related issues to watch for:

a) Excessive Self-Discharge:
Over time, unused batteries lose charge naturally. If left fully drained, the battery may sulfate, increasing internal resistance and preventing charging.
b) Delayed Charging After Full Discharge:
After riding until empty, charge promptly. If left too long, battery voltage may drop too low, and most modern chargers will refuse to charge due to low voltage protection.
c) Battery Aging or Damage:
All batteries degrade over time. Aging may cause internal crystallization, short circuits, or charge failure.
d) Poor Electrical Connection:
Charging issues can result from oxidized or loose battery connectors. Check plugs and wiring if charging fails.

🔐 IP Rating Explained (Ingress Protection)

Level	Dust Protection	Water Protection
X	No protection	No protection
1	Solid objects ≥50 mm	Dripping water (vertical)
2	Solid objects ≥12.5 mm	Dripping water (tilted at 15°)
3	Solid objects ≥2.5 mm	Spraying water (up to 60° angle)
4	Solid objects ≥1 mm	Splashing water from all directions (180°)
5	Dust-protected (limited ingress)	Low-pressure water jets
6	Dust-tight	High-pressure water jets
7	–	Temporary immersion (up to 1 meter)
8	–	Continuous immersion (beyond 1 meter)

Your scooter is IPX4: It has no dust protection but is resistant to splashing water only. Avoid immersion or water jets.
