How many kilometers can a 72V 35Ah battery run?
2 Answers
72V can normally run 100-120 kilometers or more. The following are specific introductions about lithium batteries: 1. Meaning: Lithium batteries are a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloy as the positive/negative electrode material and non-aqueous electrolyte solutions. 2. Types: Lithium batteries can be roughly divided into two categories: lithium metal batteries and lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries do not contain metallic lithium and can be recharged. The fifth-generation rechargeable battery, the lithium metal battery, was born in 1996, with its safety, specific capacity, self-discharge rate, and performance-price ratio all superior to lithium-ion batteries. Due to its own high technical requirements, only a few companies in a few countries produce this type of lithium metal battery.
As a long-time electric scooter rider, I can tell you a 72V35Ah battery theoretically covers 160 to 180 kilometers. The battery capacity is 72 multiplied by 35 equals 2520 watt-hours, and with an average consumption of 15 watt-hours per kilometer, it's about 168 kilometers. However, this varies greatly: I've achieved nearly 180 kilometers on flat urban roads at steady speeds, while in mountainous terrain or windy conditions with heavy loads, it may drop to 120 kilometers. Riding habits are crucial—sudden acceleration or high-speed riding significantly increases power consumption. Don't forget to check tire pressure; underinflated tires increase resistance. I recommend recording the mileage after each charge to gradually understand the actual range rather than relying solely on estimates, as running out of power mid-journey is troublesome. From my experience, the battery performs best in the first year, then gradually degrades by about 10%. Regular maintenance can slow this decline.
