To maximize electric scooter battery life:

Use only a compatible, official charger to prevent battery or BMS damage. The BMS monitors cell voltages and temperatures.
Frequent full recharges promote longevity for daily use. But avoid overcharging past 100%.
Occasionally recharge if unused for long periods to prevent deep voltage discharge.
Always fully recharge after rides before unplugging. Partial charges strain the BMS over time.
Fully charge new batteries/scooters initially to calibrate the BMS.
Store in cool, dry places. Temperature and moisture rapidly degrade batteries, which the BMS can only protect against so much.

Following those basic charging, usage, and storage guidelines keeps your electric scooter battery life and BMS happy and lasts for years!
