What a technician must be able to justify
A technician is coming
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Battery diagnosis
What they doXiaomi authorized service measures the pack voltage with the manufacturer's equipment and checks whether it is the standard model.
They must show youthe measured voltage against Xiaomi's specification and the battery identification.
In writingthe diagnosis and whether replacement is needed.
Replacement with a standard model battery
What they doIf the fault is confirmed, service fits a standard model battery, which is Xiaomi's fix.
They must show youthe removed battery and the new one.
In writingthe fitted battery's reference and the charge and ride test.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

- Result that matters:
- any physical sign of damage.

Error details in the app
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- connect the scooter to the Mi Home/Xiaomi Home app; Xiaomi says the error shows on the home page and tapping it opens the detailed description.
- Result that matters:
- that the app confirms Error 24 and not a similar number.
- If the app shows the same code:
- tell the service it is a 5 Plus.
- If it shows another code or none:
- note the one it shows, because it changes the diagnosis.
- Evidence to keep:
- an app screenshot with the code, the date and the exact scooter model.

What it means
In the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Plus error table, code 24 sits in the battery category and means over-voltage of the battery pack. The system detects a battery voltage above what it expects. Xiaomi gives two triggers, battery ageing and use of a third-party battery, and a single fix: replace it with a standard model battery. Even so, the code alone does not prove your battery is damaged; service must confirm it. This code appears in the 5 Plus table, not in the 6 Pro one.
Warnings and stop conditions
