Hoverboard chargers

Childhood is the most carefree and fun time in a person's life. Each parent tries to surround his baby with maximum care and give him all the best. On the shelves of children's stores, you can see a huge number of toys, constructors and entertainment mechanisms. One of the latest developments of manufacturers is a two-wheeled vehicle - a gyroscooter.

Despite its novelty, this product has become in demand and popular among both toddlers and adolescents. The new device looks very stylish and unusual, therefore, it causes not only a large number of positive emotions, but also many questions that relate to both riding technique and charging rules.

The charger for the hoverboard is an indispensable device, which is used to replenish the electrical charge in the battery. In order to correctly select and use the charging mechanisms, it is necessary to first study the type, principle of operation of the battery and the electrical circuit.

Most modern models have lithium ion batterieswhich have a long service life, a high level of capacity and a reliable security system. These parameters only apply to instruments that have been manufactured to comply with all regulations and certification requirements. The quality and parameters of cheap analogs will not only disappoint buyers, but can also lead to traumatic situations.

Battery power and class depends on the diameter of the wheels installed. Experts distinguish the following classes of batteries:

• 1 s - for gyroscopes with a wheel diameter of 4.6 inches;
• 2 sec - for gyroscopes with wheel diameter 6.5 inches;
• 3 s - for vehicles with 8-inch wheels;
• 4 sec - for universal gyro scooters with a wheel diameter of 10 inches.

Class 1 and 2 products are installed on vehicles that can only move on absolutely flat roads. Vehicles with a Class 3 battery are more reliable and able to overcome small obstacles.

Knowing the capacity of the installed storage battery, it is very difficult to determine the time period of vehicle operation. Experts identify a number of parameters that affect the period of operation of the gyrocycle.

• Terrain relief. The energy costs for moving on a flat surface are much lower than on rugged terrain.
• Driver's weight. The load on the device is directly proportional to the weight category of the owner.
• Climatic conditions... The optimum temperature for moving is in the range from -10 degrees to +50 degrees. The lower the temperature, the faster the gyro cycle will discharge.
• Battery quality and capacity... Budget batteries have a low level of energy consumption and cannot operate for more than 2 hours. Poor quality of the mechanism can provoke a quick breakdown and fire of the device.
• Manufacturer. It is not recommended to purchase cheap Chinese goods.

Advantages - a long period of operation, resistance to voltage surges, made of high-quality material, no smudges and adhesion defects, mandatory factory testing... Due to the presence of a voltage of 42 volts, as well as a current of 2 amperes, the device has the maximum level of alignment with a wide model range. This device must be equipped with a voltage stabilizer and a panel with LED indicators.

For lovers of long trips will become indispensable car chargers that differ in connection types.

Connection types can be as follows.

• Directly from the battery. The advantage is the ability to charge the device even when the car is turned off.
• From the cigarette lighter through the portable battery adapter. Feature - the presence of an output voltage of 12 volts.

In order for the purchased device to please its owners with uninterrupted operation, experts recommend paying special attention to all the subtleties of recharging the battery.

This activity consists of the following stages.

• Preliminary cleaning of the surface and the charger from dust and dirt.
• Connect the power supply to an electrical outlet.
• Connecting the charger to the device only when there is a red light on the indicator.
• Setting time parameters for recharging on a special timer.
• Disconnecting the plug from the device after completion of work.
• Disconnecting the charger from the power supply. Particular attention must be paid to the pinout and the correct connection of the plug to the device connector. The pinout must fully correspond to the wiring diagram of the device. If these manipulations are carried out incorrectly and roughly, then the socket on the panel may receive mechanical damage and fail. This breakdown is not subject to warranty service and can provoke large financial costs.

In order to set the correct charging time, it is necessary to carefully study the manufacturer's instructions, which indicate the capacity of the battery and the time for filling it, as well as the mechanism for carrying out the work.

Signal for completion of work should be a green light on the indicator panel.

You need to start charging the device immediately after the following signals appear:

• change in work during operation;
• complexity of management;
• lack of sharp and precise turns;
• the presence of weakened and lingering sound signals;
• the impossibility of developing high speed.

If the red indicator is on while driving, the battery will soon be completely discharged, the system will automatically shut down and lock the wheels. To prevent an unexpected stop of the vehicle, conscientious manufacturers install special signaling sensors on their models that warn the driver about a decrease in charge.

Do not forget about the calibration of a new device, which consists in the maximum charging of the device and its subsequent complete discharge, as well as in the next recharge. These manipulations will help to extend the life of the battery.

An indispensable assistant in the maintenance of the hoverboard and monitoring its condition can be a special mobile application for smartphones, the display of which will reflect complete information about the vehicle. However, this software is not compatible with all devices.

Failure to comply with the rules for using the device, as well as violations during battery charging can provoke the following difficulties:

• charging only a fully shrunk gyrocycle;
• periodic recharging of the device even during long-term storage - it is strictly forbidden to leave the device without recharging;
• immediate disconnection of the device from the electrical network in the event of an unpleasant burning smell;
• storage of the device only at normal temperature conditions;
• the inability to operate the vehicle with a minimum charge level.

It is strictly forbidden to turn on the device while it is connected to an eclectic network. Ignoring this rule can lead not only to damage to the mechanism, but also to electric shock to the owner. Hands must be absolutely dry at the moment of contact with electrical wires. It is also not recommended to plug in a fully charged device.

Experts also advise you to pay attention to the reasons for the inability to fully charge the device:

• using a low-quality cheap charger;
• the presence of unstable electrical voltage in the network;
• breakdown of the controller;
• the presence of faults in the battery or in the power supply.

To solve this problem, you need to contact specialized workshops, and it is better to purchase a new device.

Signs of poor quality chargers:

• poor build quality;
• the presence of external defects;
• use of low quality raw materials;
• presence of a hot surface during charging;
• release of an unpleasant odor during use;
• the presence of swollen areas.

To prevent breakdowns and difficulties during operation Specialist store consultants strongly recommend taking the time to study the accompanying vehicle operating instructions immediately after purchase. Only in this case it will be possible to avoid unnecessary expenses for repairing the device.

In the life of a modern person, there is a huge number of new technologies and gadgets that make our life more comfortable and interesting. One of these novelties is a gyro scooter. This device has become a favorite entertainment for children of all ages, who can ride it with enthusiasm for several hours without a break.

In order for the walk to bring only positive emotions, experts recommend paying special attention to charging the unit, which can only be carried out with the original device. When buying a gyro scooter, it is advisable to purchase a spare charger, which can be used when needed.
