E-rickshaws typically use deep cycle lead-acid batteries

The life of an e-rickshaw battery can vary but generally most of the companies offer 6 months to 1 year warranties on their batteries. Eastman is the only company that has a range of e rickshaw batteries with warranties ranging from 6 months to 2 years.

E-rickshaws usually use multiple batteries, often ranging from 4 to 6, depending on the model and capacity.

Ah in a battery stands for Ampere-hour, indicating the energy storage capacity.

Common problems with e-rickshaw batteries include sulfation, water loss, overcharging, and deep discharges.

Maintain e-rickshaw batteries by regular inspection, keeping terminals clean, proper charging, and avoiding overcharging or deep discharges.

Charging time for e-rickshaw batteries varies but typically takes around 6 to 8 hours for a full charge.

Higher Ah and warranty batteries are generally better for e-rickshaws as they provide more energy storage, longer coverage and last longer. This saves a lot more money during the complete life cycle of the battery despite a marginally high initial investment.

Start looking for a new e-rickshaw battery when you notice significant drops in performance, reduced mileage, or frequent charging issues.

Properly charge your e-rickshaw battery by using a compatible charger recommended by the manufacturer, avoiding overcharging, and ensuring proper ventilation during charging. Also don't use "jugaad" or "Adda" chargers as they might damage the battery.
