How many kilometers can a 48V 16Ah lithium battery run?
2 Answers
48V 16Ah lithium battery can run more than fifty kilometers. Specific explanation: The range of a 48V lithium battery is related to the battery's capacity and the motor power of the electric vehicle. Currently, electric bicycles that meet national standards on the market generally use 48V 12Ah lithium batteries and 350W motors, with a theoretical range of more than 50km. Practical use: The actual range depends on the rider's weight and the load carried. A new 16Ah lithium battery can run at least 50Km or more. For lithium battery electric vehicles, it is important to avoid completely draining the battery before recharging, as this can damage the battery.
I think a 48V 16Ah lithium battery can run about 80-120 kilometers, depending on the type of e-bike and your usage habits. I calculated it based on the battery capacity of 768Wh. Generally, an electric bicycle consumes 5-10Wh per kilometer. Lighter weight and flat road conditions will allow for longer distances. For example, stop-and-go traffic in the city consumes more power, possibly only allowing 90 kilometers, while smooth riding in the suburbs can easily exceed 100 kilometers. Remember, new batteries tend to have better range initially, but long-term use and battery aging will reduce it. I also recommend controlling your speed—avoid speeding, as it not only drastically increases power consumption but is also dangerous. I’ve tested a similar battery myself; using it for daily commutes with a light load, charging once a week was just right, offering good cost performance. Weather also has a big impact—cold winters can reduce range by 5%-10%. In short, check the manufacturer’s specifications as a reference before buying, but real-world testing is more accurate.
