How many kilometers can a 48V 52Ah battery run?

[ValerieDella]

48V 52Ah battery can run 48-60 kilometers. Motor aspect: From current models, 48V electric vehicles are generally equipped with 350W or 400W motors, which have relatively low power and thus lower speed. Additionally, as most of these vehicles comply with the new national standards, their maximum speed is around 25km/h. Battery factors: 48V electric vehicles usually offer three battery options: 48V12Ah, 48V20Ah, and 48V24Ah. If an electric vehicle is equipped with a 48V24Ah battery and a 350W motor, the average current is about 7.3A (motor power/voltage), with a theoretical runtime of 3.29h (battery capacity/average current), resulting in a theoretical range of about 82 kilometers (theoretical runtime X speed). If the vehicle has a 48V24Ah battery and a 400W motor, the theoretical range is about 72 kilometers. On average, an electric vehicle with a 48V24Ah battery has a theoretical range of around 77 kilometers.

The range of this 48V52Ah battery depends on the specific vehicle it's used in. My old e-bike had a similar specification, and it could actually run anywhere from 50 to 90 kilometers. It mainly depends on the vehicle's weight and speed. My bike is lightweight, and at a steady speed of around 20 km/h, it could last a week of commuting without needing a charge. However, if carrying two people uphill, the battery drains quickly, possibly reducing the range to just over 40 kilometers. Regular maintenance also affects the range—for example, insufficient tire pressure or rusty bearings can increase power consumption. In short, don't rely too much on advertised numbers; it's more reliable to test it yourself a few times.

Calculating battery range depends on watt-hours. 48 volts multiplied by 52 amp-hours equals approximately 2496 watt-hours. On an electric bicycle, it typically consumes 30 to 50 watt-hours per kilometer, so theoretically it can run 50 to 80 kilometers. However, I've noticed significant differences between motor brands. High-efficiency brushless motors paired with lightweight bodies can extend the range by over ten kilometers. Frequent acceleration/deceleration or using fast charging will shorten battery lifespan and affect actual mileage, which is worth noting.

Based on my experience with modified electric vehicles, a 48V52Ah battery pack typically provides a real-world range of around 60 kilometers. E-bikes consume more power than bicycles, especially when headlights are on or during uphill climbs when battery drains faster. You'll get slightly longer range in summer, while winter conditions normally reduce it by 30%. I recommend installing a voltmeter for real-time monitoring - when charge drops below 80%, it's time to plan for recharging. Maintenance is equally crucial; monthly dust cleaning and wire terminal checks can add a few extra kilometers to your range.
