Update: Okaya's current e-rickshaw battery range does not include a 150Ah model. The highest-capacity option currently available is the MAX Rider 145Ah with a 15-month warranty.
For daily e-rickshaw use, the battery decides how many trips you complete between charges and how often you visit a workshop. Okaya's highest-capacity e-rickshaw battery in the current range is the MAX Rider at 145Ah, a 100% tubular battery with a 15-month warranty. This guide explains what that capacity gives you, how it is built, and how to choose between the five Okaya e-rickshaw batteries.
The MAX Rider is the highest-capacity battery in Okaya's e-rickshaw range at 145Ah (C20, 12V nominal). It is a tubular battery that comes factory charged and carries a 15-month warranty, the longest warranty in the range.
Its dimensions are 410 x 172 x 275 mm (length x width x height up to terminal, +/-2 mm), so check the battery tray of your vehicle before choosing.
Okaya offers five tubular batteries for e-rickshaws, from 120Ah to 145Ah. The warranty rises with the line, from 7 months to 15 months. You can see every option on the Okaya E-Rickshaw battery models page.

What makes the MAX Rider suited to daily e-rickshaw use?
The MAX Rider combines a tubular design with high-purity lead and a low-maintenance alloy, which suits batteries that are charged and discharged every day. Okaya lists the following on the product page:
1. 100% tubular construction, designed for durability and longer life.
2. 99.98% pure lead, for consistent quality.
3. Low antimony alloy, for low maintenance.
4. A special paste formulation, for faster recharge.
5. Factory charged and ready to use.
6. Okaya states that its e-rickshaw batteries are 100% tubular and ICAT approved.
Okaya's guidance is a range of about 70 to 120 km on a full charge, depending on the battery capacity and driving conditions. Passenger load, road condition, speed and the motor and controller of your vehicle all change the actual figure, so treat it as a planning range, not a promise for every route.
A standard charger usually takes 8 to 10 hours to recharge an Okaya e-rickshaw battery, so most owners charge overnight.
Choose the capacity and voltage configuration that your vehicle manufacturer specifies, then pick the line by how many hours you run each day and how much warranty you want.
1. Match the battery size to the tray and terminal layout of your vehicle.
2. Higher capacity gives more energy per charge, which helps on longer or heavier routes.
3. For vehicles used daily, you may prefer a model with a longer warranty period for added coverage.
If you are unsure how many batteries your vehicle needs in total, how many batteries an e-rickshaw uses is explained step by step in a separate guide.
A low-antimony tubular battery needs little upkeep, but a few habits protect its life:
1. Charge with a charger compatible with the battery and avoid leaving it deeply discharged for long periods.
2. Keep the terminals clean and tight, and keep the top of the battery dry.
3. Look over the battery regularly for loose connections, swelling or leakage.
