The battery of my scooter was discharged after being idle for so long. When I tried to recharge it, it wouldn’t. What is the problem?
If a Drive Scout scooter battery has been idle for over 6 months and will not recharge, the likely issue is that the batteries have discharged below 11 volts each (or 22 volts total for both). At this low voltage, they are likely damaged and need replacement.
