Hello guys. Today I've got the Navy GT3
0:03
Max and I'm going to show you how to
0:06
store this scooter properly for
0:17
Actually, if you want to have your
0:18
scooter to stay healthy during weeks or
0:21
months or of non use, the proper storage
0:24
matters a lot, especially for the
0:27
lithium battery. But long-term storage
0:30
is the most uh most actually it's not
0:34
most is the worst and the fastest ways
0:37
of to permanently reduce the battery
0:40
Uh so at first I do recommend to store
0:44
your battery at 50 to 70% of charge.
0:50
This is the most important
0:52
rule. That's why it's first. The best
0:55
storage level is around 60%
0:58
uh acceptable 50 to 70%. Avoid 100% for
1:03
weeks or months or 0% storage at all.
1:07
Lithium batteries age faster when fully
1:09
charged or deeply discharged.
1:12
Store indoors at stable temperature.
1:15
Ideal temperature is between 10 or 25 uh
1:20
Celsius. You need to avoid freezing
1:23
garage, hot balconies, cars in summer
1:26
heat and and humid basement. Heat is
1:33
to battery longevity.
1:36
Keep it away from direct sunlight. UV
1:40
and heat together are brutal for battery
1:42
cells, rubber seals, display plastics,
1:47
and many others. So even near us in a
1:49
window over months isn't ideal.
1:54
Uh recharge every one or two months.
1:57
Lithium battery slowly self discharge.
1:59
So if the battery drops too low, uh the
2:02
protection circuits may trigger the
2:04
discharge damage may occur and battery
2:07
may refuse to wake up. So a good habit
2:09
is to check uh and charge it monthly and
2:14
top back up to around 60%.
2:19
Clean it before storage. Never store
2:21
dirty after riding. Especially remove
2:24
road salt, mud, water residue, brake
2:28
dust and wipe deck, suspension, folding
2:31
joints and wheel areas. This prevents
2:36
Make sure this scooter is fully dry.
2:39
This is very important after rain
2:43
riding. So before storing, you need to
2:46
dry the charging port, dry the deck
2:49
seams and let it uh air out indoors.
2:54
Trapped moisture over weeks uh equals
2:59
Protect the tires. If stirring for many
3:02
months, you need to inflate the tires
3:05
properly, like something around 45 or 50
3:09
and avoid leaving tires completely flat.
3:14
Long-term low pressure can deform them.
3:20
Fold it carefully or leave uh completely
3:23
unfolded. Either is fine, but don't
3:26
stress the L mechanism. Don't stack
3:29
heavy objects on it. and avoid the
3:32
pressure on the handlebars or throttle.
3:35
If you have space, unfolded storage is
3:37
the deal. But if you want to fold it,
3:42
Um, don't leave charger connected
3:45
permanently. Unlike some devices,
3:48
scooters should not stay plugged in
3:53
After charging, unplug the charger.
3:56
Disconnect from the wall. constant full
4:00
charge accelerates the battery where
4:05
uh so actually uh there are some tips
4:08
for the winter storage because it
4:10
depends of course on the season also
4:13
it's if storing uh through the winter
4:17
before storage you need to clean off all
4:20
salt through dry it completely and of
4:23
course charge it to the 60% and during
4:26
storage recharge everyone uh month or
4:29
two keep above freezing temperatures if
4:33
I know that in many countries the
4:36
temperature of something around um I
4:41
- 10 - 5 is normal in the winters during
4:45
the winter. So it may be difficult to
4:48
keep it uh in this uh previous range of
4:53
10 to 25% Celsius not percent just uh
4:57
Celsius. So you know so good rule to
5:02
remember actually for the end of this
5:04
video. Cool joy half charged. Goodbye.
