Original charger for the Ninebot ZT3 PRO 53.6V electric scooter

🔋 An incomplete charge: 53.6V instead of 54.6V

The stock charger clamps the voltage at 53.6V instead of the 54.6V normally required for a 48V (13S) battery. Officially, this is said to "preserve" the battery—in practice, it prevents you from reaching 100% usable capacity and reduces your range.

In lithium-ion, you can use 100% of the capacity without damaging the battery, provided you have a healthy BMS and a well-sized charger . The real best practice concerns long-term storage : avoid leaving the battery at 100% (as at 0%) for weeks. The ideal storage range is between 30% and 60% .
