Which Battery is Right for Your Scooter?
Not all batteries are the same – the right one for you depends on your riding style and scooter model. Here are your options:
Lead-Acid Batteries – Affordable and Proven
- Cost-effective – ideal for riders on a budget

- Perfect for short-distance riders
AGM Batteries (also known as Gel Batteries)
- Maintenance-free – no refilling necessary
- Longer lifespan – more robust than classic lead-acid batteries
- Recommended for frequent and winter riders
Lithium-Ion Starter Batteries
Once revolutionary in smartphones, now powering your scooter: Lithium-ion batteries offer many advantages over conventional ones. They are long-lasting, highly durable and supply stable power even under heavy loads. Plus, they save space and can even fit in a glove compartment – perfect for classic Vespas and Lambrettas.

- Longer lifespan – more robust than lead-acid batteries
- Extremely lightweight – up to 80% lighter than conventional batteries
- Significantly higher cold start performance
- Rechargeable up to 2,000 times (compared to 150–300 cycles for lead-acid, about 500 for gel batteries)
- No acid or heavy metals, leak-proof – good for the environment!
- Maintains power even after long periods of inactivity
- Non-explosive and non-flammable – safer for you and your scooter
What to Consider When Choosing a Battery
To find the ideal scooter battery, consider the following factors:
- Fit for your scooter model – correct voltage, capacity and size
- Riding style and usage – lots of short trips stress the battery more
- Electric consumers – heated grips, alarms, etc., require more power
Battery Care: How to Extend Battery Life
Whether you're buying a new battery or caring for an old one – the right maintenance makes all the difference. Not only your beloved scooter, but also your battery needs some tender loving care (TLC) now and then.
Check Voltage and Charge Level
- Lead-acid batteries: Check voltage regularly with a multimeter (ideal: 12.6–12.8 V)
- AGM and lithium-ion batteries: Maintenance-free – no refilling needed
Keep Battery Terminals Clean
- Avoid corrosion – clean with a wire brush and protect with terminal grease
Prevent Deep Discharge
- Charge regularly – especially in winter or during storage periods
- Use a trickle charger – keeps the battery optimally charged
