Just recently sold a Mini-X with a restored XR battery using BERT Touch. The new owner asked what the best practices are for maintaining the battery long-term, so I put together a quick care sheet for him.

Before I send it over, I wanted to run it by the community here and see if there’s anything you would change, add, or disagree with.

Best Practices

Avoid storing fully charged for long periods

If you won’t be riding for several weeks, store the battery around 50–70% charge instead of 100%.

Don’t leave the battery fully depleted

Try not to leave the board at 0% for extended periods. Recharge after riding when possible.

Ride and charge regularly

Boosted XR batteries tend to stay healthier when used periodically rather than sitting unused for months.

Keep the board indoors

Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat, cold, or moisture.

Charging habits

It is OK to charge to 100% before riding. For long-term storage, a partial charge is preferred.

If storing long-term

Check the battery every few weeks and recharge if needed.

Important Notes

• The Boosted XR battery uses lithium-ion cells similar to those used in EVs and other high-performance electronics.
• Some balancing variation between cell groups is normal.
• Proper storage and regular use help reduce the chance of future battery imbalance issues.

Curious what long-time XR owners and BERT users think.

Hey guys I am very new to the hobby but I remember wanting one growing up.

Would this be a good purchase?

From my research it looks like the gen 2 board with a backpack. Price is $300?

I'd appreciate your feedback? I'm an engineering student and wouldnt mind the extra wheels to maneuver myself to and from classes
