Will an electric scooter battery be damaged if left uncharged for several months?

An electric scooter battery can be damaged if left uncharged for several months. Here are some relevant introductions about batteries: 1. Lead-acid battery: The most common type is the lead-acid battery, whose electrodes are made of lead and lead oxide, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. It is inexpensive and has stable voltage, but requires frequent maintenance and has a relatively short lifespan, typically around 3 years under normal usage. 2. Maintenance-free battery: Compared to lead-acid batteries, it consumes very little electrolyte, requires almost no maintenance, and features high-temperature resistance, compact size, and low self-discharge. However, it is more expensive, costing twice as much as a lead-acid battery, and has a similar replacement cycle of around 3 years under normal conditions. 3. AGM battery: Cars equipped with auto start-stop functionality require a more robust battery to operate properly. The specialized AGM battery uses ultra-fine glass wool material, which provides stronger cyclic charging capability and a longer lifespan, lasting 4-6 years under normal usage. Additionally, this battery offers better low-temperature starting performance and more stable capacity during use, but it is the most expensive option.
