Chargers for scooters

Childhood is the most carefree and fun time in human 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, designers and entertainment mechanisms. One of the latest developments of manufacturers is a two-wheeled vehicle - a hoverboard.

Despite its novelty, This product has become demanded and popular among both kids and adolescents. The new device looks very stylish and unusual, so it causes not only a large number of positive emotions, but also a lot of questions that relate to both the riding technique and charging rules

Charger for hovercraft - an indispensable device, which is used to replenish the electric charge in the battery. In order to correctly select and use charging mechanisms, you must first study the type, principle of operation of the battery and the electrical circuit.

On most modern models installed lithium ion batterieswhich have a long period of operation, a high level of capacity and a reliable security system. These parameters apply only to those devices in the manufacture of which all standards and certification requirements have been met. The quality and parameters of cheap analogues will not only disappoint buyers, but can also lead to traumatic situations.

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

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

Class 1 and 2 products are installed on devices that can only be moved 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 battery, it is very difficult to determine the time period of operation of the vehicle. Specialists identify a number of parameters that affect the period of operation of the gyrocycle.

• The terrain. The energy cost to move on a flat surface is much lower than on rough terrain.
• The weight of the driver. The load on the device is directly proportional to the weight category of the owner.
• Climatic conditions. The optimal temperature regime for movement is in the range from -10 degrees to +50 degrees. The lower the temperature, the faster the discharge of the gyrocycle.
• Battery quality and capacity. Budget batteries have a low energy intensity and are not able to work 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 drops, manufacturing from high-quality material, the absence of 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 a maximum level of combination 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 be indispensable car chargers that differ in connection types.

Connection types may 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 via a portable battery adapter. A feature is the presence of an output voltage of 12 volts.

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

This event consists of the following steps.

• Preliminary cleaning of the surface and charger from dust and dirt.
• Connect the power supply to an electrical outlet.
• Connecting the charger to the device only if there is a red light on the indicator.
• Setting the 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 comply with the electrical circuit 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 damage is not subject to warranty service and can cause large financial costs.

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

The signal to complete the work should be a green light on the indicator panel.

It is necessary to start charging the device immediately after the following signals appear:

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

If the red indicator is on during the ride, then soon the battery will completely discharge, the system will automatically turn off and lock the wheels. To prevent an unexpected stop of the vehicle, bona fide manufacturers install special signaling sensors on their models that warn the driver about a decrease in charge.

We should not forget about the calibration of the new device, which consists in the maximum charge of the device and its subsequent full discharge, as well as in the next recharge. These manipulations will help extend battery life.

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

Non-observance of the operating rules of the device, as well as violations during charging of the battery can cause the following difficulties:

• charging only a completely dead gyrocycle;
• periodic recharging of the device even during long-term storage - it is strictly forbidden to leave the device without recharging;
• instant disconnection of the device from the mains in case of an unpleasant singing smell;
• storage of the device only at normal temperature conditions;
• the inability to operate the vehicle in the presence of a minimum charge level.

It is strictly forbidden to turn on the device during its connection to the eclectic network. Ignoring this rule can lead not only to a breakdown of the mechanism, but also to injury by electric shock to the owner. Hands must be completely dry when touching electrical wires. It is also not recommended to connect a fully charged device to the mains.

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

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

To solve this problem, you need to contact specialized workshops, but 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;
• the presence of a hot surface during charging;
• the allocation of an unpleasant odor during use;
• the presence of swollen areas.

To prevent breakdowns and operational difficulties consultants of specialized stores strongly recommend immediately after purchase to find time to study the attached vehicle operating instructions. Only in this case it will be possible to avoid unnecessary expenses for the repair of the device.

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

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 by the original device. When buying a hovercraft, it is advisable to purchase a spare charge, which can be used when necessary.

A brief overview of the charger for the 42V, 2A compact scooter without plug is presented in the video.
