Customized Battery Packs
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) Battery Packs
Description:
Lithium-ion batteries are the most common type used in e-scooters due to
their high energy density, lightweight, and relatively long lifespan.
Types:
- 18650 Cells: Cylindrical cells often used for medium-range e-scooters.
- 21700 Cells: Larger cylindrical cells providing higher energy density and
improved performance compared to 18650 cells. - 26650 Cells: Larger cylindrical cells with higher capacity and durability,
suitable for heavy-duty e-scooters. - Prismatic Cells: Rectangular-shaped cells used in some battery packs for their
ease of packaging and stacking
Features:
- High energy density.
- Lightweight.
- Fast charging capabilities.
- Good cycle life (number of charge-discharge cycles).
Advantages:
- Reliable, widely available, and suitable for various e-scooter applications.
Disadvantages:
- Sensitive to overcharging, temperature extremes, and physical
damage.
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Battery Packs
Description:
LiFePO4 batteries are a type of lithium-ion battery known for their safety,long cycle life, and stability.
Features:
- High thermal and chemical stability.
- Longer cycle life compared to standard Li-ion batteries.
- Safer chemistry with lower risk of thermal runaway.
Advantages:
- Enhanced safety, longer lifespan, and better performance in extreme temperatures
Disadvantages:
- Lower energy density compared to standard Li-ion batteries, resulting in larger and heavier packs for the same capacity.
Lead-acid Battery Packs
Description:
NiMH batteries offer a balance between cost, energy density, and
environmental impact compared to lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries.
Features:
- Moderate energy density.
- Longer cycle life than lead-acid batteries.
- Safer chemistry compared to older nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries.
Advantages:
- Lower cost than lithium-ion batteries, environmentally friendly.
Disadvantages:
- Higher self-discharge rate, lower energy density compared to lithium-
- ion batteries.
