Why does the self-balancing scooter not charge when the green light is on?
2 Answers
The self-balancing scooter does not charge when the green light is on because the power cord plug is not properly connected, resulting in circuit interruption or detachment/damage of internal charging port wiring, damage to the battery protection board or mainboard. In such cases, professional repair or charger replacement is required as effective charging cannot be achieved. Below is relevant information: Introduction to self-balancing scooters: Also known as electric balance vehicles, hoverboards, or Segways. Operating principle: Its operation is primarily based on a fundamental concept called "Dynamic Stabilization," utilizing internal gyroscopes and acceleration sensors to detect posture changes, with servo control systems precisely driving motors for corresponding adjustments to maintain system balance.
I've dealt with many similar faults at repair stations. The green light on indicates that the charger itself has power output, but the inability to charge could be due to battery aging or deep discharge. Over time, the internal resistance of the battery increases, making it difficult to charge even if the charger is functioning normally. Alternatively, the charger's output voltage might be unstable—despite the green light being on, you should use a tool to measure the voltage to confirm. Another possibility is that the charging port may have accumulated dust or moisture, leading to poor contact, so it's necessary to clean it thoroughly with a small brush. I recommend first trying a different power outlet or waiting a few hours to let the battery 'wake up.' If that doesn't work, seek professional repair immediately to avoid potential safety hazards. Regularly avoid draining the hoverboard's battery completely before recharging to extend its lifespan.
