My board won’t turn on after long-term storageUpdated 3 hours ago

If your board hasn’t been used in several months (or longer) and now won’t power on—even when plugged into the charger—it’s likely that the battery has dropped below safe operating voltage.




🔋 Why this happens

Lithium-ion batteries naturally self-discharge over time, even when not in use. If left too long without being checked or recharged, the battery can drop to a voltage that’s too low for safe charging. When this happens:


  • The board won’t power on

  • The charger light stays solid green (not charging)




📍 Most common with:

  • Boards stored for 6+ months without charging




🔧 What you can do


  1. Do not try to force charge it—this can be dangerous

  2. If you have a multimeter, check the battery voltage:

    • If it’s below 30V, the pack may have dropped too low

  3. Contact our team to book an assessment with your nearest repair centre

  4. If you’re unsure, just tell us:

    • Your board model

    • Where you’re located

    • When the board last worked


We’ll guide you on next steps.




✅ How to prevent this

To avoid this issue in future:


  • Charge your board at least once every 4–6 weeks, even when not in use

  • Store the board indoors, away from heat and humidity

  • Never store the board with an empty battery
