How long does the hoverboard charge last and what does it depend on?

The gyro scooter is the brainchild of scientific and technological progress. This is one of the most fashionable and modern means of transportation, which is used with pleasure not only by adults, but also by children. Experts and experienced users say that riding a gyro scooter brings only one pleasure and many benefits to the body.

The duration and quality of riding a hoverboard directly depends on its power source. It is very important that the battery lasts as long as possible. In the article we will talk about what determines the duration of the battery charge, how long it lasts and how to properly charge the unit.

The source of electricity in the hoverboard is a lithium-ion battery, which consists of batteries, the number of which ranges from 10 to 20. The capacity of the batteries and their number depend on the following factors:

• the diameter of the wheels;
• the power of the engine that is installed in the vehicle.

Based on the above parameters, the capacity of the batteries is as follows:

• capacity 2,2Ah - installed in a hoverboard with a power of 500 W and with a wheel diameter of 4 inches;
• capacity 4.4Ah - in vehicles with a capacity of 500 W to 700 W and from 700 W to 1200 W with a wheel diameter of 6.8 and 10 inches.

Despite the large selection and assortment of this vehicle, the time for a full charge is almost the same and is 2-3 hours. A full charge is enough for about 20 kilometers.

Every gadget that runs on a battery is very important to properly charge the first time.The battery life depends on this. So, the first charging process consists of several stages.

• Wipe the charger from dust and dirt.
• Connect to the mains and wait - it is necessary for the signal indicators to light up on it. Only then can the charger be attached to the vehicle. Follow the instructions and insert the plug correctly into the “socket”. This is very important, because an incorrect connection is fraught with the fact that the unit will break down, and such a breakdown is not covered by the warranty.
• Further, for about 3 hours, the hoverboard should be charged. You need to periodically look at the status and color of the indicator. When it changed color from red to green, you can turn off the power - the batteries are fully charged.
• The charger is removed from the socket and only then - from the segway.

When buying a vehicle, many buyers are wondering how much on average a hoverboard holds a charge. But, unfortunately, none of the manufacturers, even the most famous ones, provide such information. This is due to the fact that there are many factors that affect this parameter of the vehicle battery.

• Terrain parameters. If you are riding on a flat road, the battery life is approximately 3 hours. When driving on uneven surfaces, the time is reduced.
• Load level. The rider's weight has a fairly large effect on the length of the ride. The higher it is, the less the batteries will work without recharging.
• Temperature conditions. In frosty weather, the battery will last for a maximum of 2 hours. This is due to the fact that the subzero temperature discharges the batteries. Experts say that the optimum temperature for riding a gyro scooter is from -11 to +50 ºС.
• Battery parameters. It is very important that the battery is of high quality, and its indicators correspond to those indicated in the passport.

There are times when, even after short-term use, the hoverboard stops charging. The reason for this trouble may be:

• faulty power supply;
• voltage problems in the network;
• battery malfunction;
• the controller is out of order.

The most important thing in this situation is not to panic, not do stupid things and not make rash decisions. First of all, in order to exclude at least one of the possible variants of a breakdown or a voltage drop in the network, try connecting the charger again after a while. If the situation has not changed and the battery does not charge, the indicator does not light up, try restarting the segway. The reboot rules should also be detailed in the instructions for use. If the situation has not changed, contact the service center.
