Dual batteries on an e-bike are typically used to increase the overall battery capacity and extend the range of the electric bicycle. The basic principle behind dual batteries is to have two separate battery packs working together to power the motor and provide energy to the bike’s electrical system.
Here’s a general overview of how dual batteries work on an e-bike:
1. Battery Configuration: The e-bike is equipped with a dual battery system, which means it has two separate battery packs. These batteries can be identical or different in terms of capacity and voltage, depending on the design of the e-bike.
2. Parallel or Series Connection: The two batteries are connected either in parallel or series, depending on the specific configuration of the e-bike.
– Parallel Connection: In a parallel configuration, the positive terminals of both batteries are connected together, and the negative terminals are also connected together. This setup allows the batteries to work simultaneously, effectively increasing the overall capacity of the system. The voltage remains the same as that of a single battery, but the total ampere-hour (Ah) capacity is doubled, resulting in an extended range.
– Series Connection: In a series configuration, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the other battery. This arrangement increases the total voltage of the system while maintaining the overall capacity. It can be useful in applications where higher voltage is required, such as for more powerful motors or to achieve higher speeds. However, it doesn’t directly increase the range.
3. Battery Management System (BMS): To ensure the proper functioning and safety of the dual battery system, e-bikes with dual batteries typically employ a Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS monitors and balances the charge between the two batteries, preventing overcharging or discharging of individual cells and ensuring optimal performance and lifespan.
4. Control and Switching: The e-bike’s controller is responsible for managing the power flow between the batteries and the motor. It regulates the amount of current drawn from each battery based on the system requirements and user input. The controller may include a switch or interface that allows the rider to select which battery to use or switch between them automatically to balance the load and ensure even utilization.
5. Charging: Dual battery systems can be charged together or separately, depending on the e-bike’s design. Charging options vary, and some e-bikes may provide a single charging port that connects to both batteries simultaneously, while others may have separate charging ports for each battery.
By utilizing dual batteries, e-bikes can benefit from increased capacity, extended range and potentially higher power output. However, when selecting an e-bike with a dual battery system, the weight and space requirements of the additional batteries must be considered. In addition, the exact configuration and operation of dual batteries may vary depending on the manufacturer and model of the e-bike, so we recommend that you can let us know your project plans and we will customize your dual batteries and answer your questions in detail.
