At Moovi, we've decided to use particularly energy-efficient 150-watt (Moovi Mini) and 300-watt (Moovi Pro) motors. These, combined with our lithium-ion batteries, are a super efficient and environmentally friendly combination. In this blog post, we want to tell you everything you need to know about e-scooter batteries.
At Moovi, we rely on lithium-ion batteries because they have a particularly good power-to-weight ratio. Most other manufacturers currently also rely on this type of battery. The energy density of these batteries is significantly higher than that of other batteries.
There are also lead-gel batteries and lithium-polymer batteries. However, these types are currently less common because they are more expensive and/or heavier than lithium-ion batteries.
At some point, your battery will no longer be fully charged. Please only use the included charging cable to charge your Moovis! Ideally, you should charge your e-scooter when the battery charge is at approximately 0%, rather than waiting until it reaches 15%. In addition to deep discharging, you should also avoid charging your e-scooter to 100%. To maximize the battery lifespan, the following should be observed:
The lifespan of our batteries is approximately five years. This corresponds to approximately 5 charging cycles. A charging cycle is defined as charging from 1.000% to 0%. However, even if the battery is charged five times at 100% each, this counts as one charging cycle. The same applies to ten times at 20% each and two times at 10% each.
The temperature during charging should be between 5°C and 30°C. This, of course, refers to the room temperature in which charging is taking place.
By using modern lithium-ion batteries, there is no risk of our batteries falling victim to the memory effect.
If you have lost your charging cable or it is broken, you can order a new one hereIt is important to use only an original charging cable to avoid damaging your battery.
If this happens, we recommend plugging your Moovi in about every two to three months. Because the battery can drain even if it's not being used. To prevent a deep discharge, charge it occasionally.
The optimal temperature for "storing" your Moovis when you're not using it for a while is between 5 and 20°C. Although it might sound a bit strange at first, regular use of your Moovis will extend its lifespan. Regular riding with your Moovi will not only be enjoyable for you, but for your Moovi, too!
On our Moovis, the batteries are permanently installed beneath the footboard. This ensures a low center of gravity and a more comfortable and intuitive ride. Please do not attempt to tamper with your Moovi battery yourself. This will void the warranty.
If the battery is permanently installed, we strongly advise against changing the e-scooter battery yourself!
If you have problems with your Moovi battery, please contact our Support and we'll find a solution together. Removing the battery yourself will void the warranty. And you really don't want that.
The range of your e-scooter can, theoretically, vary from day to day. It depends on the following factors:
So, range is a very complex topic. The range stated by all manufacturers is always achieved under optimal conditions with a rider weighing 60 kg and traveling at a constant speed of 12 km/h.
Our CMO Janik manages 85 kilometers on his Moovi Mini, weighing 18 kg, in Munich city traffic.
We've thrown around a few terms in this post. To avoid any confusion, we've compiled a few for you here.
memory effect: here again the hint There is no memory effect with our MoovisThe memory effect describes a loss of battery capacity when it is regularly undercharged. This occurs primarily with nickel-cadmium batteries, which "remember" their energy consumption when improperly charged. Fun fact: The memory effect was first discovered by NASA in the 1960s.
Deep dischargeDeep discharge: This refers to the almost complete discharge of a battery. This can cause permanent damage to the battery and should therefore be avoided at all costs. With lithium-ion batteries, deep discharge can lead to a loss of capacity. In the worst case, copper bridges can form within the battery, which can pose an increased fire hazard!
