📌 Original 53.6V vs. 54.6V: Why it Changes Everything

On the Xiaomi Scooter 5 electric scooter , the charger supplied by the manufacturer is often set to ≈ 53.6V instead of 54.6V. The idea is to prevent a scooter stored for a long time just after charging from remaining stored at 100% state of charge (SOC). In reality:

• Charging to 100% to drive straight away is not a problem; it is prolonged storage at 100% that accelerates aging.
• At 53.6V , you never start with 100% usable capacity : part of the full tank is missing.
• Importantly, most BMS only fully balance the cells near the maximum voltage . If 54.6V is never reached, balancing remains incomplete; over time, the cells become unbalanced , which can lead to cut-outs and battery failure .

A 54.6V charger therefore allows you to: recover 100% capacity when you need it, correctly rebalance the pack at the end of charging, and stabilize the battery over the long term.

Tip: Complete your full charges to 54.6V before riding ; for extended storage, leave the battery between 30 and 60% .

❓ FAQ – Xiaomi Scooter 5 (48V – 54.6V 2A)

➡️ 53.6V vs 54.6V: What's the difference, and why is it important?

53.6V (stock charger) keeps the battery just under full charge to limit the impact in long-term storage , but you lose useful capacity and the BMS does not reach the full balancing zone . Conversely, 54.6V (nominal voltage of a 13S pack) allows you to recover 100% of the capacity and balance the cells – essential for the long-term health of the pack.

➡️ Can I mix a 53.6V charger and this 54.6V?

Yes, occasionally. To maintain a good balance :

• Perform a full charge to 54.6V every 2 to 3 weeks .
• After the green light turns, leave the charger connected for 30 to 60 minutes to allow the BMS to complete the balancing phase.

➡️ Is 2A suitable?

Yes. 2A is the ideal standard current for the Xiaomi Scooter 5's 48V/13S chemistry: safe charging, without excessive heating, and respectful of battery life.

➡️ How to charge daily without damaging the battery?

Charge before every ride. For storage lasting several days or weeks, keep the battery between 40 and 60% . Perform a full charge to 54.6V approximately every 2–3 weeks to rebalance the cells .

➡️ The LED turns green, should I unplug immediately?

Not necessarily. The red to green transition indicates the end of the main charge, but the BMS continues balancing the cells. Leave the charger connected for an additional 30 to 60 minutes from time to time to maximize the life of the pack.

➡️ Typical charging time?

Varies depending on the exact capacity. At 2A , count approximately capacity (Ah) ÷ 2 hours (e.g., 12 Ah ≈ 6 h ). The balancing phase can extend the charge by approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

➡️ Compatibility: Does this charger work with other models?

This model is intended for the Xiaomi Scooter 5 with its specific connector . It is not compatible with older generations in 36V (42V) or with GEN1 connectors. However, it is compatible with the following models: Xiaomi 4 Pro 2nd Gen (GEN2) , Xiaomi 4 Ultra , Xiaomi 5 Pro , Navee S65 , Navee N65i , Navee S40 , Navee S60 , Navee ST3 Pro .
