What does 145Ah at C20 mean for an e-rickshaw?

Capacity in ampere-hours (Ah) shows how much charge the battery stores, and the C20 rate means the figure is measured over a 20-hour discharge. A higher capacity stores more energy per charge, which helps on longer or heavier routes. Real range still depends on passenger load, road condition, speed and driving style. Okaya's guidance for its e-rickshaw batteries is about 70 to 120 km on a full charge, depending on capacity and driving conditions.

Because this is a 12V battery, an e-rickshaw uses several of them in series to reach its system voltage. For example, a 48V system uses four 12V batteries. Your vehicle manufacturer specifies the voltage and the number of batteries.

How long does the MAX Rider take to charge?

Okaya states that its e-rickshaw batteries usually take 8 to 10 hours to charge with a standard charger. The exact time depends on how deeply the battery was discharged and on the charger used, so most owners charge after the day's run.

Is the MAX Rider the right choice for your e-rickshaw?

Choose by your vehicle's voltage, tray size, daily running hours and the warranty you want, not by capacity alone.

Fit: confirm the battery's dimensions (410 x 172 x 275 mm) and terminal layout match your battery tray.

Usage: higher capacity suits longer or heavier daily routes.

Warranty: the MAX Rider has the longest warranty in the range, at 15 months.
