Why is the self-balancing scooter not charging with a green light on?
2 Answers
The reasons why the self-balancing scooter is not charging with a constant green light are as follows: Charger converter or fuse damage: If the electric scooter shows a constant green light while charging, the primary consideration is whether there is a fault with the charger, which is usually manifested as damage to the converter or fuse. If the converter is damaged, the charger cannot convert and charge properly, resulting in the electric scooter showing a constant green light and failing to charge. Fault in one of the small batteries in the battery pack: Another aspect to consider is whether there is a fault with the battery, which is usually manifested as a short circuit in one of the small batteries in the battery pack. In this case, if you charge the electric scooter, the charger will continuously display a green light and fail to charge. Loose or poor connection in the wiring: Another aspect to consider is whether there is a loose or poor connection in the wiring, which is usually manifested as a loose or corroded interface causing a poor connection. The correct solution is to unplug and reconnect the charger to see if the light changes from green to red. If it does not change, then you need to check if the interface is corroded and replace the wiring if necessary.
As a student who has been riding a self-balancing scooter for years, I've experienced similar situations where the charger shows a green light but fails to charge. There are several common reasons for this. The most frequent issue is a faulty charger—the green light indicates it's connected to power, but internal circuit damage may cause insufficient or interrupted output voltage, requiring a replacement. Another possibility is excessive aging of the scooter's battery, such as permanent failure of lithium batteries after exceeding charge-discharge cycle limits, especially in older models that haven't been replaced for a year or two. Additionally, loose charging ports, internal wire breaks, or oxidation can lead to poor contact; even overly humid charging environments can affect performance. I recommend first trying a different charger and power outlet to rule out simple faults. If that doesn't work, check the battery capacity—there are simple testing methods available online. To extend battery life, avoid over-discharging or charging in high temperatures. If the issue is confirmed irreparable, seek professional repair or replacement as soon as possible.
