On the market, lead-acid batteries are commonly used in electric motorbikes because they are cheap; however, compared with lead-acid batteries, lithium ternary and lithium iron phosphate batteries have many advantages. They have a long range, are environmentally friendly and have low maintenance costs. Electric motorbikes can maintain stable power and speed in different scenarios. More and more customers are realising that lithium batteries can enhance the performance of electric motorbikes. A recent example is a South African customer who ordered a 72V 60AH Li-ion ternary battery from LEAD-WIN. They tested the Li-ion ternary battery on their own electric motorbike and saw positive results. Maintenance costs have been reduced and the customer is raving about the improved performance of the battery. In short, lithium batteries are a valuable upgrade for electric motorbikes, providing better performance and cost savings.
Traditional electric motorbike batteries often leave users lacking in performance, efficiency and longevity. The use of 72V 60AH lithium batteries in electric motorbikes has revolutionised the electric motorbike experience. This article takes an in-depth look at the benefits and applications of 72V 60AH lithium batteries in electric motorbikes, with case studies and data to demonstrate the advantages of this technology.
The 72V voltage platform is significantly higher than traditional 48V or 60V lithium batteries. In the motor power formula P = U × I (power = voltage × current), a higher voltage means more power can be output under the same current. For example, when paired with a motor of the same power, a 72V battery can reduce the operating current, reduce line heating and losses, and improve energy conversion efficiency.
The theoretical energy of 72V 60Ah lithium battery is 72V×60Ah=4320Wh, which is about 3.6 times higher than 60V 20Ah battery (1200Wh). This means that the 72V 60Ah can have a range of up to 150-200km (depending on motor power, vehicle weight and riding habits), far exceeding that of ordinary lead-acid batteries (usually 40-70km), making it suitable for long-distance commuting or distribution.
When the 72V 60Ah electric motorbike battery faces steep slopes or loaded scenarios, the high voltage lithium battery can provide more sufficient torque for the motor, avoiding the ‘under power’ caused by riding jams.
The lithium battery is only 1/3-1/2 the size of a lead-acid battery of the same capacity, and the 72V 60Ah lithium battery can be designed into a more compact pack that can be easily mounted on the frame or under the seat of an electric motorbike to optimise the vehicle's centre of gravity.
The 72V 60Ah lithium battery has a service life of at least 3,500 cycles (80% DoD), far exceeding the 500 cycles of conventional electric motorbike batteries. This means fewer battery replacements and less maintenance, ultimately leading to long-term cost savings for electric motorbike owners.
72V 60Ah lithium batteries have a longer lifespan and lower maintenance costs, saving e-motorcycle owners money on battery replacement and maintenance costs.
The use of 72V 60Ah lithium batteries in electric motorbikes can result in significant cost savings in the long run. These savings are largely due to the longer life of the battery, less maintenance required and better performance.
Electric motorbike battery replacement cabinet decided to use 72V 60Ah lithium battery. After replacing the battery, it not only improves the user convenience and solves the waiting time for charging, but also improves the profitability of the company. Electric motorbike users say that the acceleration, hill climbing ability and stable energy output from the new battery are excellent.
Electric motorbike manufacturers choose 72V 60AH lithium batteries as the power source for their premium electric motorbikes. Electric motorbikes have significantly improved their range and power performance, with minimal maintenance and consistent energy output, bringing high praise from electric motorbike manufacturers. In addition, electric motorbike users also appreciate the improved performance and reliability of lithium batteries.
LEAD-WIN is a battery manufacturer, supplier and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with more than 20 years of experience in the industry, since its inception, we have been committed to the future of new energy technology, always pursuing the goal of manufacturing high-quality, stable and reliable battery products. All LEAD-WIN products are backed up by a 3-5 year warranty and 24-hour customer service support.
LEAD-WIN focuses on providing customisable 72V 60AH lithium battery solutions for electric motorbikes, allowing customers to tailor the products to their needs. Including options for voltage, capacity, current, size and appearance, LEAD-WIN's expertise in the field and commitment to quality make it the preferred choice for e-motorcycle manufacturers and e-motorcycle owners looking to upgrade to 72V 60AH lithium batteries.
Compared with the traditional 60V 20Ah electric motorbike battery, the 72V system has a higher voltage and higher output power, which is suitable for hill climbing, load carrying and high speed driving. With a total energy of 4320Wh, it has a longer range of at least 100km.
72V 60Ah lithium battery can be used up to 2000 times (80% DOD), according to the daily charging and discharging once, the service life can be up to 1.5-5 years. Traditional lead-acid batteries for electric motorbikes have a cycle life of only 200-300 cycles, and their capacity may drop to less than 50% after one year of use, requiring replacement of the battery.
The 72V lithium battery series is equipped with an advanced battery management system that prevents overcharging, over-discharging and short-circuiting. These safety features minimise the risk of battery-related accidents and help ensure the overall safety of electric motorbikes powered by 72V lithium batteries.
In short, 72V 60Ah lithium batteries through the combination of ‘high voltage + high capacity + high energy density’ in power, range, life, intelligence and other dimensions of the traditional lead-acid batteries, completely changed the electric motorbike. In the future, as the cost of lithium batteries decreases and technology advances, the electric motorbike industry is expected to gradually replace lead-acid batteries as the mainstream.
The case mentioned in this article is a brief introduction and customer evaluation, showing the practical benefits of using 72V60AH lithium batteries in electric motorbikes. As more and more electric motorbike manufacturers turn to this technology, the electric motorbike experience will continue to improve, and the industry as a whole will become more environmentally sustainable. As the electric motorbike industry grows, the 72V 60AH lithium battery will undoubtedly play an important role in its future development.
