1. What is Battery Capacity?

Battery capacity is a measure of the total amount of energy a battery can store, typically measured in watt-hours (Wh). It's calculated by multiplying the battery's voltage by its amp-hour (Ah) rating.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Voltage \) — Battery voltage in volts (V)
• \( Ah \) — Battery capacity in amp-hours (Ah)

Explanation: This calculation gives you the total energy storage capacity in watt-hours (Wh), which is a more accurate way to compare batteries than just Ah alone.

3. Importance of Battery Capacity Calculation

Details: Knowing your battery's capacity helps estimate range, compare different batteries, and understand how long your scooter can operate before needing a recharge.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the battery voltage (typically 36V, 48V, 52V, etc.) and the Ah rating (often between 5Ah and 30Ah for scooters). Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between Ah and Wh?
A: Amp-hours (Ah) measure charge capacity, while watt-hours (Wh) measure energy capacity. Wh accounts for both voltage and current.

Q2: How does capacity affect scooter range?
A: Higher capacity batteries generally provide longer range, though actual range depends on speed, terrain, rider weight, and other factors.

Q3: Can I compare batteries just by voltage?
A: No, you need to consider both voltage and Ah (or better yet, Wh) for accurate comparisons between different batteries.

Q4: What's a typical scooter battery capacity?
A: Most electric scooters have batteries between 250Wh and 1000Wh, with high-performance models going up to 2000Wh or more.

Q5: How long will my battery last?
A: Battery lifespan depends on usage, charging habits, and environmental factors. Most lithium batteries last 300-500 full charge cycles.
