In 2026, lithium-ion battery failures remain the #1 reason NYC riders bring scooters to repair shops. Over-discharge, overheating, age-related capacity loss, and improper charging shorten life dramatically. Our students master safe, fast fixes in Week 4 — Battery Technology.

Common 2026 Battery Issues

Sudden power drop during ride
Battery won’t charge past 0–10%
Swelling or hot casing (fire risk — stop use immediately)
Reduced range after 300–500 cycles

Quick 15-Minute Diagnostic & Fix Steps

Visual inspection — Look for swelling, burns, leaks.
Voltage check with multimeter (nominal 36V/48V pack should read close to rated voltage).
Charger test — Use known-good charger; avoid cheap third-party ones.
BMS reset — Disconnect battery 5–10 min, reconnect.
Cell balancing awareness — Many failures stem from unbalanced cells (advanced fix taught Week 4).
Safe replacement workflow — Fire safety standards first (NYC critical).

Pro Tip from Wilson Graduates Prevent issues: Never store at 0% or 100% long-term; charge at room temperature.
