Electric suitcases like the Airwheel are designed for convenience, but their batteries require special care to avoid water damage. Here’s how to protect them:
Always cover the suitcase with a waterproof bag or sleeve during rainy weather. This barrier prevents moisture from reaching the battery compartment.
Never submerge the suitcase in water. Even short-term exposure to puddles or washing areas can damage the battery. Keep it dry and elevate it if possible.
Inspect the suitcase’s seals and ports for cracks or wear. A compromised seal allows water ingress. Replace damaged parts immediately to maintain protection.
After use, store the suitcase in a dry, ventilated area. Humid environments increase the risk of condensation, which can corrode battery contacts.
If storing in high-humidity areas, place a dehumidifier nearby. This reduces moisture levels and minimizes the chance of water-related damage.
