DEFORD releases their enhanced 60V, 72V electric tricycle battery systems
Electric tricycles, also known as electric rickshaws or electric tuk tuk, have become increasingly popular in Southeast Asia and Africa in recent years. What are the core issues that consumers are usually concerned about regarding electric tricycles?
1. Is it more economical to use an electric rickshaw than a fuel tuk tuk?
The purchase cost of an electric rickshaw is higher than that of a fuel tricycle, but its operating cst is lower than that of a fuel tricycle. Taking 3 years as a reference, the total cost of an electric rickshaw maybe 25% - 30% lower than that of a fuel tricycle.
2. What kind of battery system should I choose?
LiFePO4 batteries have long cycle life and excellent high temperature performance. Therefore, in the Southeast Asian and African markets, LiFePO4 batteries are undoubtedly the best choice.
3. Is the safety and service life of a LiFePO4 battery guaranteed?
LiFePO4 battery is one of the safest rechargeable batteries so far, and it also has a service life of up to 2000 times. Therefore, the safety and service life of LiFePO4 batteries can be guaranteed.
When electric rickshaws are used for commercial purposes, the reliability of their battery systems must be guaranteed. Because the reliability of the battery system is directly related to the profitability, safety and sustainability of commercial operations, it is the core consideration for the commercialization of electric tricycles. Our team deeply understands this core demand and devotes all efforts to design and manufacture our high-quality LiFePO4 battery systems.
We have optimized the mechanics design of our electric tricycle batteries. While improving the heat dissipation efficiency of cells, we have also enhanced the strength of mechanical structure so that they can easily cope with the challenges of various bumpy roads.
In order to achieve the stable power supply capability of the electric rickshaw battery system under high vehicle load conditions while taking into account battery life and safety, our R&D team has increased the peak discharge capacity of the electric rickshaw battery system by 30% through strategic optimization of the battery management system (BMS) and improved system-level redundancy design, while ensuring the reliability of the battery system throughout its life cycle.
Our new launched 60V (P/N: LEV6010) and 72V (P/N: LEV72105) LiFePO4 battery systems with high cost efficient, which can take clients unparalleled customer experience, significantly improve customers' operational efficiency and help customers maximize their business value.
