Battery Self-Repair Guide and Safety Reminders | Kickscooter
Step 1: Pre-Replacement – Battery Visual Inspection
1. Inspect the battery shape. If swelling, deformation, or other abnormalities are detected, immediately discontinue use.
2. Check the battery seal. If leakage, cracks, or damage are observed, contact customer service directly for handling.
3. Verify the external label on the battery to ensure the voltage and model of the new battery match the original.
Step 2: During Replacement – Precautions for Power Cable Contacts and Orientation
1. Inspect and clean the power cable contacts. Use a dry cloth to wipe the metal contacts, removing any oxidation layer on the surface.
2. After unstall the old battery, press power botton for about 10 seconds. And then align the plug and socket correctly during insertion, ensuring the fool-proof tab is oriented properly to prevent short circuits.
3. Insert the plug into the socket slowly to avoid damage caused by forceful insertion or removal.
Step 3: Post-Replacement – Pre-Charging and Environmental Observation Recommendations
Special Note: Why Sparks/Sounds Occur When Connecting the Power Cable?
● When the battery cable contacts the controller, the internal capacitors charge instantaneously, which may produce brief sparks and a “click” sound. These are normal phenomena: The spark is tiny and occurs only once.
● No persistent unusual noises or burnt smells are generated.
● The scooter operates normally afterward.

Do not be alarmed! This is a normal physical occurrence and not a fault of the battery or scooter. Contact customer service immediately if any other abnormalities occur.
Battery Replacement Safety Reminders
1. Power off before replacement: Turn off the scooter’s power before replacing the battery. Do not perform live operations.
2. Respond to abnormalities: Immediately disconnect the power if excessive sparks, smoke, or overheating occur at the battery interface, ensuring personal and property safety.
3. Post-replacement pre-charging: Replacement batteries are in storage mode. Charging for over 1 minute typically deactivates this mode. If the scooter fails to power on after 10 minutes of pre-charging, contact customer service promptly.
