Is My Mobility Scooter Charger Working Correctly?

Ever wondered if your mobility scooter battery charger is working correctly? Do you want to find a quick way of checking your battery charger is working correctly? 

In this blog, the team at Valen briefly discuss a number of checks you can do at home before taking your charger and mobility scooter to a Mobility scooter specialist for further problem solving.

Testing a Mobility Scooter Charger 

SO, where do we start?  

The first thing to do is to check for a power-related problem.  

  1. Connect the mobility charger to the mains power and ensure that the lights are all on and appear to be functioning correctly.  
  1. Leave the charger charging the mobility scooter batteries overnight. Before charging begins, note the level of the batteries on the battery charge level indicator. 
  1. The following day, or after several hours, disconnect the battery charger and turn on the mobility scooter, observing where the battery charge level indicator is. The battery charge level should be sitting at full. If it is not, it does highlight an issue with the battery charger and you should take your mobility scooter to your local specialist. 
  1. Check the charger manual as it may contain a troubleshooting guide that will answer your questions or allow you to ascertain what is causing the problem. 

A mobility scooter specialist will be able to place the charger on a charger analyser to assess its actual performance.  

Chances are, if it’s not the battery charger, there is another issue that needs solving with the mobility scooter. So make sure you take both the Mobility Scooter and mobility scooter battery charger to your specialist appointment.
