How many kilometers can a 48-volt battery run?
2 Answers
How far a 48-volt battery can run depends mainly on the battery capacity and the power of the electric vehicle's motor. A 48V12A battery can run approximately 40 kilometers, a 48V20A battery can run about 60 kilometers, and a 48V24A battery can run around 80 kilometers. Below are the correct methods for maintaining a car battery: 1. Regular cleaning of the battery: During daily use, pay attention to the battery's condition. Over time, the battery may become covered with dust, powder, grease, etc. To ensure normal operation, promptly clean the dirt from the battery's panel and the positive and negative terminals to extend its lifespan. 2. Avoid prolonged parking: If the vehicle is left unused for a long time, the battery will self-discharge. Therefore, even if the car is not used regularly, it is recommended to start it once a week and take it for a short drive to keep the battery fully charged. 3. Regular inspection: The typical lifespan of a vehicle battery is 3-4 years. For high-end models with more electronic systems, the battery's lifespan may be shorter. Regular checks of the battery's charge level can help maintain it in optimal working condition.
I've been driving a car equipped with a 48-volt mild hybrid system for a while now. This battery isn't for pure electric driving but mainly assists the engine in saving fuel, which can extend the driving range. My old car could run about 500 kilometers on a full tank, but now with the 48-volt system, city commuting can exceed 550 kilometers, with less noticeable change on highways. The actual performance depends on road conditions: in city traffic jams, it recovers braking energy more efficiently; at high speeds, the difference becomes smaller. Factors influencing this include driving habits—gentle acceleration saves more fuel—and the battery's natural degradation over time, which can be checked during maintenance. Overall, it adds no hassle and saves money, reducing monthly refueling frequency and providing peace of mind on long trips.
