What Battery Does the AS201 Use?

The AS201 uses a 48V battery system and can be supplied with different battery capacities.

Common configurations include 15Ah and 20Ah batteries, with larger dual-battery configurations available for applications that require more stored energy.

Battery specifications can be adjusted according to the product configuration and project requirements.

What Does Ah Mean?

Ah stands for ampere-hours.

It describes the amount of electrical charge a battery can store under specified conditions.

For a simplified comparison, a 48V 20Ah battery contains approximately twice the nominal stored energy of a 48V 10Ah battery.

Nominal energy can be estimated as:

Voltage × Amp-hours = Watt-hours

Therefore:

48V × 20Ah = approximately 960Wh

Actual usable energy can vary because of battery management, operating conditions, temperature, discharge characteristics and other factors.

Is a Larger Battery Always Better?

Not necessarily.

A larger battery provides more stored energy, but it also adds weight, cost and physical volume.

For a lightweight commuter product, additional battery capacity may not be necessary.

For a heavier fat tire cruiser used for longer recreational rides, additional capacity can be useful.

AS201 Battery Configurations

Depending on the project, the AS201 can be configured with:

• 48V 15Ah
• 48V 20Ah
• Larger dual-battery configurations

Battery cell selection can also be specified according to the project.

What Affects Battery Range?

Battery capacity is only one part of the range calculation.

Other factors include:

• Rider weight
• Vehicle weight
• Riding speed
• Terrain
• Wind
• Temperature
• Tire pressure
• Stop-and-go riding
• Battery condition

For this reason, advertised range should always be treated as a test-condition figure rather than a guaranteed distance for every rider.
