You will need to check the scooter thoroughly before putting it away if you’re going to store it for long periods of time. Make sure that the battery is functioning properly, and that the O-rings are providing a tight seal. You should then clean your sea scooter well so that any residual salts or chemicals are removed. Once you have done that, you can store your scooter in a dry, dark place away from extreme heat or direct sunlight.
There are a few things you should keep in mind about the battery to keep your underwater scooter healthy when it’s stored over the winter. Every three months, you should remove the battery, charge it up again, and keep it in good condition. A trickle charger could also be used for the battery so that your scooter is ready to use the next time you require it. Batteries should be replaced every four years or so. This is because these batteries probably won’t be able to hold a charge. This means that even though you may charge them up fully, they will run down rapidly and could let you down underwater.
Lastly, when you take your device out after having stored it for a few months or so, you should check it thoroughly before you go into the water with it to make sure it’s fit for use. Make sure that the battery is functional, and the O-rings are still providing a tight seal.
