Your electric skateboard’s battery is one of its most important components. With proper care and good riding habits, you can significantly extend battery lifespan, maintain consistent performance, and enjoy better real-world range over time.
Here’s a practical, easy-to-follow guide to keeping your Verreal battery healthy for the long run.
1. Develop Healthy Charging Habits
How you charge your battery plays a major role in how long it lasts.
-
Always use the official Verreal charger or an approved charger.
This ensures the correct voltage and current for safe, stable charging. -
Avoid frequent fast charging.
High-current fast chargers are convenient, but regular use can accelerate battery wear. Use fast charging only when necessary. -
Don’t wait until the battery is empty.
Recharging when the battery reaches around 25–30% is ideal. -
Shallow charging is best.
You don’t need to charge to 100% every time. Keeping the battery between 20% and 80% helps preserve long-term capacity. -
Charge after riding.
Letting the battery sit at a low charge level for extended periods can shorten its lifespan.
2. Ride Smarter, Especially at Low Battery
Your riding style directly affects battery health.
-
Avoid aggressive acceleration or steep hill climbing when the battery is low.
High current draw at low charge levels puts extra stress on the battery. -
Use smooth throttle input.
Gradual acceleration improves efficiency and reduces strain on both the battery and drivetrain.
3. Keep the Battery Dry at All Times
Water is one of the biggest enemies of battery longevity.
-
Do not ride in rain, deep water, or flooded areas.
-
Avoid wet or slippery roads whenever possible.
-
Never allow water to enter the battery enclosure.
If the board becomes damp:
-
Dry it completely before charging or storing.
-
Make sure charging ports and connectors are clean and dry.
Keeping the battery dry is essential for both performance and safety.
4. Manage Temperature Carefully
Battery performance and lifespan are affected by temperature.
-
Avoid charging or storing the battery in extreme heat or cold.
-
After riding, allow the battery to cool down before charging.
-
Cold temperatures can temporarily reduce range — warming the board indoors before riding can help.
For best results, store and charge your board in a cool, dry, indoor environment.
5. Follow Proper Storage Guidelines
If you won’t be riding for an extended period, storage habits matter.
-
Store the battery at 40–60% charge for long-term storage.
-
Keep the board in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
-
Recharge the battery every 1–2 months during storage to prevent over-discharge.
These steps help prevent capacity loss while the board is not in use.
6. Maintain the Board to Reduce Battery Strain
A well-maintained board puts less load on the battery.
-
Keep belt tension properly adjusted.
-
Maintain correct tire pressure.
-
Periodically check connectors, cables, and charging ports.
Reducing mechanical resistance improves efficiency and helps the battery work more comfortably.
Final Thoughts
Taking care of your battery doesn’t require complicated routines — just consistent, smart habits.
By charging correctly, riding smoothly, keeping the battery dry, and storing it properly, you’ll enjoy:
-
Longer battery lifespan
-
More consistent performance
-
Better real-world range
-
Fewer unexpected issues
Your Verreal board is designed to perform — good battery care ensures it stays that way for years to come.
