How much does a 60V20A battery with 5 cells weigh?
2 Answers
5 cells of 60V20A battery weigh approximately 32 pounds. The functions of car batteries: When starting the engine, the battery supplies power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system. When the engine is stopped or idling at low speed, it supplies power to the car's electrical equipment. When the generator's output is insufficient, it can assist in supplying power to the electrical equipment, mitigating impact voltage in the electrical system, and protecting the car's electronic devices. Maintenance methods for car batteries: Start the car regularly to charge the battery. When the electrolyte is low, replenish with distilled water or a special replenishing fluid. During daily driving, frequently check whether the small holes on the battery cover are ventilated. Check for signs of oxidation on the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Inspect all parts of the circuit for signs of aging or short circuits. Turn off electrical equipment when leaving the car.
I used to have this 60V20Ah lead-acid battery, each weighing about 12 kg, so five together would be around 60 kg. When installing it into the electric scooter's undercarriage, I usually needed a friend to help lift it up securely; otherwise, it could easily drop on my feet. The downside of the heavy battery is that it consumes more power during acceleration, reducing the range by a few kilometers. However, the advantage is that the lower center of gravity makes the ride more stable during turns, preventing tipping over. Additionally, when storing it, you need to place it on a sturdy, flat surface, and the garage shelf must be reinforced to prevent collapse. The biggest hassle comes during maintenance—replacing it always requires assistance or a small trolley for transport. While the heavier build means more durable material and longer lifespan, the real challenge is handling the weight, so you must plan the placement carefully in advance.
