In the electric bicycle industry, the battery is the core power source of the entire vehicle. Its performance, lifespan, and safety directly affect user experience and brand reputation. Whether you are a brand owner, distributor, or custom vehicle manufacturer, choosing the right battery is crucial for success.
This article provides a comprehensive guide to help businesses efficiently select the right battery solution and provide reliable power for business development.

Part 1.The Importance of Battery Selection
Electric bicycle batteries not only determine the vehicle’s range and power performance but also affect safety, overall vehicle lifespan, and after-sales service costs. Choosing the wrong battery can lead to:
Insufficient power or inability to climb hills
Shortened battery life or low cycle count
Frequent BMS protection triggering
Potential safety hazards (over-discharge, overcharge, short circuit)
Therefore, when purchasing or customizing batteries, businesses must consider factors such as voltage, capacity, cell quality, BMS intelligent protection, and brand certification.
Part 2.Analysis of Core Battery Parameters
Tension
Voltage determines the motor output power and speed matching:
36V system: Suitable for short to medium-distance commuting and light-load users
48V system: Suitable for long-range, hill climbing, or high-load models
60V system: Suitable for high-performance, high-speed, or high-power transport models
Capacité (Ah)
Capacity determines the riding range:
Higher capacity means longer riding distance per charge
Insufficient capacity leads to short range and poor customer experience
Needs to be matched with motor power and voltage to avoid over-discharge
(Illustration suggestion: Insert a “Capacity vs. Riding Range Comparison Chart,” showing the range differences of different capacity batteries on different models.)
Type de cellule
Cylindrical Cells (18650/21700): High energy density, suitable for long lifespan and high power requirements
Prismatic Cells: Easy to assemble, high safety
Pouch Cells (LiPo): Lightweight design, suitable for lightweight vehicles
BMS Intelligent Protection System
BMS (Battery Management System) is a crucial system for ensuring battery safety and extending lifespan. Its main functions include:
Protection contre la surcharge et la surdécharge
Protection contre les courts-circuits
Temperature monitoring and thermal management
Équilibrage de la batterie
Data logging and communication
Part 3.Key Factors in Choosing a Battery Supplier
Company qualifications and industry experience
ISO9001/14001 certification
EN50604, UL, CE and other international certifications
More than 10 years of experience in lithium battery R&D and manufacturing
Customization capabilities (OEM/ODM)
Voltage, capacity, and appearance customization
Private label and packaging
Technical consulting and complete vehicle matching solutions
Système de contrôle de la qualité
Cell screening, PACK assembly, factory testing
Cycle life testing, aging testing
Intelligent BMS debugging
Supply chain stability
Capacité de production à grande échelle
Delivery time and logistics management
After-sales service and technical support
Part 4.Suggested Enterprise Procurement Process
Clarify complete vehicle design requirements: voltage, capacity, range, appearance
Sample testing: Verify performance, range, and BMS functions
Sign contracts and warranty terms: Clarify MOQ, price, payment methods, and warranty period
Production and quality monitoring: Random inspection, third-party factory inspection
Logistics and transportation: Lithium batteries are dangerous goods and require UN38.3, MSDS documents and labels
Part 5.Case Comparison: The Impact of Different Battery Choices on Business
| Paramètres | Standard 36V 10Ah Battery | High-Capacity 36V 15Ah Battery | Custom 48V 12Ah Battery |
| Range | 40–50km | 60–70km | 50–60km (Enhanced Power) |
| Climbing Ability | Moyen | Medium to Strong | Strong |
| Poids | Approx. 3.5kg | 4.5kg | 4kg |
| Protection du BMS | Standard | Avancé | Avancé |
| Applicable Models | Commuter Bikes | Long-Distance/Heavy-Duty | High-Performance/High-Power |
Conclusion: Matching capacity and voltage to the vehicle design is key to improving customer experience and brand competitiveness.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1: Can batteries from different brands be mixed?
Answer: Even if the specifications are the same, batteries from different brands may have different cells, BMS, and safety standards. Mixing them is not recommended.
Q2: How to determine battery life and cycle times?
Answer: Refer to the cell manufacturer’s specifications and the cycle life test report provided by the manufacturer. Yizhan Electronics batteries have a cycle life of over 1000 cycles and stable performance.
Q3: What services are included in OEM/ODM customization?
Answer: Voltage, capacity, cell type, casing design, brand labeling, packaging, and vehicle integration technical support.
Q4: Can low-voltage batteries improve overall vehicle performance?
Answer: Low-voltage batteries cannot improve overall vehicle performance; on the contrary, they may reduce power output and range, and even trigger BMS protection.
Q5: How to ensure the safety and reliability of purchased batteries?
Answer: Choose qualified suppliers, confirm BMS intelligent protection and international certifications, request samples for testing, and sign warranty terms.
