Why does the self-balancing scooter always show a green light when charging fails?
2 Answers
The internal lithium battery of this self-balancing scooter is likely damaged, either due to excessive internal resistance or a short circuit in the lithium battery. This condition prevents charging when connected to the charger, though the scooter can operate using power directly from the charger. In such cases, the lithium battery board needs replacement. Below are relevant explanations: Reasons for the persistent green light: Normally, a green light indicates sufficient charge, while a yellow light signals the need for charging. It could also result from disconnected charger wiring or a damaged charger. Damage to the scooter's battery protection board. Important notes: The battery is the lifeline of an electric self-balancing scooter. If the battery fails to meet performance standards, any impact or collision causing a short circuit may lead to explosions, fires, or combustion accidents, turning the scooter underfoot into a literal wheel of fire.
I once encountered a situation where my hoverboard wouldn't charge and the light stayed green. I spent quite some time troubleshooting. First, I checked the basics: made sure the power outlet was working by trying a different one, then checked if the charger plug was securely connected without any looseness. A green light usually indicates full charge or an error state—if it stays green while charging, it might be a battery issue: either aged batteries can't hold charge anymore, or the protection board locked after over-discharge. It could also be that the charger's output current is too low to activate the battery. After cleaning the charging port myself with no improvement, I'd advise against forcing it open—lithium batteries pose a fire risk if mishandled. For maintenance: avoid prolonged storage with low charge and keep charging environments from getting too hot. My advice: it's safer and more cost-effective to have a professional repair shop check the battery or charger rather than risking major damage by DIY attempts. Preventive measure: use original accessories to extend device lifespan.
