What Are the Specifications of Batteries for Electric Tricycles?
2 Answers
Batteries include lead-acid batteries, nickel-iron batteries, and nickel-cadmium batteries, among others. Below is an introduction to electric tricycles: Introduction: Electric tricycles are three-wheeled transport vehicles powered by batteries and driven by motors, used for carrying goods or passengers. Electric tricycles use tubular high-capacity, side-lined, deep-discharge, traction-type batteries that can meet the requirements of prolonged continuous discharge. Under normal use, the battery lasts for two years without a decrease in capacity. Maintenance Notes: When driving on waterlogged roads during rainy days, normal operation is possible if the water depth does not exceed the center of the electric wheel. If the water depth exceeds the center of the electric wheel, it may cause water seepage into the electric wheel, leading to malfunctions. The entire vehicle should be kept away from places with humid air, high temperatures, and corrosive gases to prevent chemical corrosion of the metal parts' electroplated and painted surfaces.
I've been riding an electric tricycle for several years and think battery specifications are quite important, mainly focusing on voltage, capacity, and type. Common voltages are 48V, 60V, and 72V - the higher the voltage, the stronger the vehicle's power. Capacities like 20Ah, 30Ah, and 50Ah determine range - higher capacity means longer distance. My tricycle uses 60V 30Ah lead-acid batteries that can last 50-60km per charge. Regarding types: lead-acid is cheaper and durable but heavy (about 15-20kg), making replacement troublesome; lithium batteries are lighter but more expensive with simpler maintenance. Choosing specifications depends on daily use - for deliveries like mine, higher capacity improves range to avoid frequent charging hassles. Also need to consider seasonal temperatures as cold weather significantly reduces capacity, requiring preheating. Wrong specifications may cause breakdowns, affecting practicality.
