How far can a 60v12a battery go?
2 Answers
A 60v12a battery can travel approximately 50 kilometers. The motor power is determined by the battery capacity. For example, if the power is 800W, the battery capacity is 20AH. Taking 50 kilometers as a reference, electric vehicles can be categorized as follows: 1. 48V12A: around 40 kilometers; 2. 48V20A and 64V12A: around 70 kilometers; 3. 60V20A and 64V20A: around 90 kilometers; 4. 72V20A: around 120 kilometers. The battery is an essential part of a car and can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. The structure of a car lead-acid battery mainly consists of positive and negative plates, separators, electrolyte, casing, connecting strips, and terminals.
I've used quite a few 60V 12Ah batteries on electric bikes. Generally speaking, they can run about 50 to 70 kilometers, depending on how you use them. For my daily commute, weighing around 70-80 kg with some cargo and lots of uphill routes, I can get at most 60 kilometers before needing a recharge. On flat roads at a steady speed with good weather, it can approach 70 kilometers. Battery type makes a big difference—lead-acid batteries degrade quickly; they might reach 70 km when new but drop to 50 km after half a year. Lithium batteries are more durable, maintaining performance for about three years. Don’t forget that riding too fast drains power rapidly—exceeding 25 km/h will cause the battery level to drop sharply. In winter, low temperatures can reduce range by 10-15%, so it’s advisable to install a battery meter for real-time monitoring. Overall, don’t expect to go too far—plan your route carefully, carry a backup power source, and prioritize safety!
