How to charge the battery for an electric scooter?

by admin on February 15, 2010

I am planning on getting an electric scooter or moped any time soon. But had couple of questions to those who do have one. First, how/where do you charge your moped? Can you take the battery out, charge the battery and put it back in? Or do you need a space like a garage in order to charge the scooter?

My moped has to be plugged into the wall, unfortunantly it plugs into the moped, not the battery, but fortunantly the battery doesn’t die often.

I believe most electric scooters have an onboard charger, so you ‘plug in the scooter’. You really wouldn’t need a garage, but you do need a power outlet with an extension cord.
I suppose if it were more convenient to you, you could buy a battery charger and just take the battery and charger into the house for the night to charge it.

You will require an outlet to plug the entire scooter into, and a transformer to charge it. You can make a quick disconnect if you must bring the battery inside, but it could be dangerous if you are not skilled at such things.
