Always consult the manual for proper charging times. Do not charge the board longer than recommended. If you ride the board frequently it is okay to store the electric board at full battery. For infrequent riders and long time storage, it is best to drain the battery to 80% because in this range the board retains its electric charge storage capability and capacity. Make sure that it is stored somewhere where it won't be tripped over, stepped on, or otherwise get in the way. Store it off the floor, in a rack designed specifically for skateboards. Never leave your skateboard in cold, wet weather for any length of time, even just overnight. Humid or wet storage areas can cause permanent damage. Again, always consult the manual for other proper techniques.
