In the context of green travel and the surge in demand for short-distance commuting, electric scooters have become the first choice of travel for many people due to their convenience and flexibility. The 60V lithium batteries for electric scooters, as the ‘heart’ of the vehicle, stand out with excellent power output and range performance. 60V operating voltage can meet the basic requirements of electric scooters for power, but also find a balance between range and safety. In this article, we will introduce the 5 hottest 60V lithium batteries for electric scooters from Chinese lithium battery manufacturer LEAD-WIN, which will help you understand and distinguish them more easily.
Electric scooters are a commonly used mode of transport for daily commuting, and the electric scooter battery is an energy storage device that powers the electric scooter, usually using rechargeable chemical batteries (lead-acid and lithium batteries). It is one of the core components of an electric scooter, which directly affects the range, power performance and lifespan of the vehicle.
Electric scooter batteries are usually 36V\48V\60V\72V or even higher, the higher the voltage, the power and speed of the device will be increased accordingly, in terms of Ampere-hour (Ah), such as 20Ah-60Ah, etc. The higher the capacity, the more power is stored, and the longer the range will be.

Choosing the right battery for your electric scooter depends on your needs, such as considering range needs, budget needs, safety needs, etc. .
Priority for range demand: If it is used to carry people and goods over 100km or for long-distance travelling, 60V 55Ah, 60V 60Ah NCM battery and 60V 45Ah LiFePO4 battery are the preferred choices. Among them, 60V 60Ah NCM battery has a longer range and relatively high safety; the NCM batteries are powerful, and some of them support APP management, which is convenient to monitor the status. If the commuting distance is short (within 80km), 60V 20Ah and 60V 30Ah batteries are sufficient to cope with it, with the former having good low-temperature performance and the latter having long cycle life.
Budget Consideration: Usually Li-ion ternary batteries have high energy density and are relatively expensive, while LiFePO4 batteries are more cost-effective. Limited budget can choose 60V 40Ah LiFePO4 battery, both range and safety; if the budget is limited and daily commuting time is short, consider 60V 20Ah LiFePO4 battery, which can cope with 50-60 kilometres; the pursuit of high-performance and budget, 60V 60Ah NCM batteries or 60V 65Ah LiFePO4 batteries are more suitable.
Safety preference: LiFePO4 batteries are thermally stable, like 60V 20Ah, 60V 45Ah models are safer in extreme situations such as short-circuit, overcharge, etc., which is suitable for users who pay attention to safety. Although the energy density of lithium ternary batteries is high, but the high temperature environment needs to pay attention to heat dissipation, if the daily use of the environment is mild, 60V 30Ah, 60V 55Ah, 60V 60Ah lithium ternary batteries can also be stable play.
60V LiFePO4 battery has stable performance, with a cycle life of more than 4,000 times (about 2,000 times for 60V NCM battery) and a capacity retention rate of more than 80% at low temperatures of -20°C (about the same for NCM batteries), both of which are suitable for cold regions or high-frequency use scenarios. NCM battery has higher energy density, the weight is 30% lighter than that of LiFePo4 battery under the same capacity, and with fast charging technology, it can achieve 80% replenishment in 40 minutes, which is the first choice for the pursuit of light commuting and long-distance cycling.
In cold areas, both can work under -20℃, while in high temperature areas, it is recommended to choose LiFePo4 battery, whose thermal runaway temperature is up to 800℃ (about 200℃ for lithium ternary), with better safety; and for users who pay attention to range and power explosion (such as climbing >30° or racing needs), lithium ternary battery's instantaneous discharge capacity (200A continuous output) and lightweight design are more advantageous.
60V LiFePO4 battery characteristics: Extreme Weather Resistance｜Long Life｜Operating Cost Sensitivity.
60V NCM battery features: Energy density priority｜Lightweight requirements｜Extreme performance.
The range of 60V electric scooter battery will be affected by a variety of factors, common such as: the battery itself (battery capacity and battery type, etc.), vehicle and accessories factors (vehicle weight and motor efficiency, etc.), riding habits (riding speed), environmental factors, charging factors and so on. For more details, see this article >>
1) Check the power display device: most electric scooters are equipped with a power display device, and the following types are common.
LED Indicator Lights: Generally located on the handlebar or controller of the scooter, it displays the power level through different numbers or colours of LED lights.
Liquid crystal display (LCD): It can display the percentage of battery power more accurately, and some of them also display other information such as voltage and speed at the same time. Users can intuitively understand the battery power status, so as to reasonably arrange the trip.
Mobile phone APP connection: some smart electric scooters can be connected via mobile phone APP to view detailed information such as battery level, mileage, vehicle status, etc. on the mobile phone.
2) Observe the riding performance: In the process of riding, you can also judge the power level roughly through some performances of the electric scooter.
Power and speed: when the power is sufficient, the scooter has strong power, accelerates smoothly and can reach a high speed; as the power decreases, the power will gradually weaken, the acceleration will become slower and the maximum speed will be reduced.
Mileage: If it is a frequent riding route, you can estimate the power level based on past experience and mileage travelled.
1) Charging habits: Frequent over-charging or over-discharging will cause damage to the battery and shorten its life. It is recommended to charge the battery when the remaining battery power is about 20%-30%, and unplug the charger in time after it is full.
2) Use of environmental temperature: too high or too low temperature will affect the performance and life of the battery. Generally speaking, the suitable temperature for electric scooter lithium batteries is between -20℃ and 50℃. After use in a high-temperature environment, you should wait for the battery to cool down before charging; in a low-temperature environment, minimise use or take warming measures.
3) Charging and discharging times: the cycle life of lithium battery is limited, with the increase of charging and discharging times, the capacity of the battery will gradually decline. Generally speaking, the capacity of lithium battery may drop to about 80% of the initial capacity after 1000-1500 complete charge/discharge cycles.
When the battery life of electric scooters declines, the problem can be solved in several ways. First of all, we should pay attention to battery maintenance, correct charging, control the charging environment temperature, appropriate depth charging and discharging activation; secondly, we should do a good job of vehicle maintenance, check the tyre pressure, clean up the vehicle, to ensure that the motor and transmission system is normal; at the same time, we should develop good riding habits, smooth driving, reasonable load, reduce unnecessary power consumption; if the battery aging is serious, we can consider replacing it, and we can also try to upgrade the vehicle accessories to improve overall energy efficiency.
