This SDTYYP battery is a straightforward replacement for the aging Lectric XP step-over units. It contains the required 48V and 10.4Ah of energy within the standard DCH006 folding frame-mount housing. For those needing to replace a dead OEM pack, without having to reconfigure their bike, this simple math works. It is a functional solution for commuters whose bicycles are tired.
Specs
As stated earlier, the heart of this unit is the 48V, 10.4Ah combination, providing 499Wh of total energy. This level of energy density is typical for many mid-range ebikes. however, it's the internal battery management system that really tells the story. The 30A max constant discharge rating is a critical number for serious Riders. With a 30A BMS rating, the internal electronics in the battery will continue to supply the required current to the motor when you twist the throttle hard on a steep hill.
If the BMS was rated at less than 30A, the battery would likely turn off immediately upon hitting peak current demand, leaving you to pedal alone. By limiting the BMS to 30A, you avoid the frustration of having your motor turn off in the middle of a climb.
According to the listings, this pack is compatible with motor sizes from 250 watts to 1000 watts. The compatibility with such a large variety of motor sizes implies that the cells are connected in a manner that will support the high torque draws typically associated with larger motor builds. However, prior to ordering you must confirm that your controller uses the same type of connector as listed. The listing does not detail the pin configuration of the connector so there is always a chance that your lectric ebike controller connector may be different and will require you to complete some DIY wiring to connect the two together.
This battery comes with a 54.6 v, 2a charger. 2 amps is a slower charge rate than you could reasonably expect from a charger capable of charging a 500 wh battery like this one. As a result, you are looking at a minimum of 5 to 6 hours to fully recharge the battery from completely empty. Slow charging rates also reduce the amount of heat generated by the charger which helps extend the life of the lithium-ion cells. Fast charging rates can create excessive heat build-up that degrades the performance of the battery after thousands of cycles.
Design and Fitment
The physical dimensions of this battery are identical to a DCH006 style which is a particular type of folding bike-specific built-in pack shape. Its overall length is specifically measured at 430mm. As mentioned previously, this measurement is the most important aspect of your decision. The 430 mm rail length allows it to slide perfectly onto the rail of any Lectric XP step-over frame. If its length were either longer or shorter by just one cm, its bolt holes wouldn’t align properly or it would rattle loosely in place. This level of precision mounting means you won’t need to spend countless hours designing and manufacturing custom mounting brackets or modifying your frame.
The battery states it is sealed and has included theft-deterrent security as well as sand/water-resistance. Although i haven’t tested this pack in a pressure-washer, the sealed nature of its housing protects its inner workings from damage caused by exposure to moisture when riding through rainy conditions. A sealed case prevents moisture from entering the terminal connections of the individual cells during a rain storm. Were its housing porous, corrosion would eventually short out the BMS circuitry and render the entire pack useless. The design intent behind this product is to provide reliability for everyday commuting , no matter the weather!
Anti-theft mechanisms are commonly employed on secured mounts for this purpose. they prevent someone from simply taking your power source while you’re grabbing a cup of coffee. On unsecured mounts, your ebike becomes nothing more than an expensive bicycle at risk to being stolen.
Performance and Range
Its claimed range is said to vary anywhere from 40km (24.85miles) to 60km (36.99 miles) depending on usage patterns. The estimated distance figures provided in this listing assume optimal testing conditions that few people ever experience. Your actual range will ultimately depend on your own weight, elevation profile of your route(s), and degree of assistance you employ while riding. Riding aggressively and using high levels of assistance will likely push your range towards the low end (24.85miles). Using moderate amounts of assistance should allow you to achieve ranges near to the upper end (36.99miles). This capacity is suitable for daily commutes but will certainly fall short if you attempt a cross-country trip.
The capacity provided by this 10.4 ah pack is sufficient for most standard urban routes and may even enable you to skip nightly charging sessions if your daily rides seldom exceed ten miles. Had the capacity been smaller, you would continually check your remaining battery percentage and worry about whether you’ll arrive safely at home. This “sweet spot” of 499 wh makes it suitable for commuters seeking a balance between pack weight and usable range without burdened with hauling a heavy 700Wh range extender pack.
Lithium-ion chemistry has become an industry standard for ebike battery applications due largely to its consistent voltage characteristics throughout its discharge cycle. As opposed to older lead-acid technologies where available power would begin to diminish rapidly after only half of its capacity had been utilized. lithium-ion batteries maintain their output power consistently until nearly depleted. These characteristics guarantee that your ebike motor will remain responsive and “snappy” throughout each day’s ride until nearly all energy stored within the pack has been consumed.
What Riders Say
At present, this item holds an average user rating of 4.1/5 based on forty-two separate customer reviews. While this represents a reasonable-sized review base for an aftermarket component, it clearly indicates not everybody is entirely satisfied with this product. Many reviewers appear primarily concerned with how well this product fits their Lectric XP frame model. since i have not personally installed/tested this pack, my assessment relies heavily on these combined experiences regarding potential long-term durability issues. A few customers report that their chargers tend to grow warmer compared to their original equipment chargers, although that seems typical among third-party products.
Clearly, ratings above four stars suggest that while most customers receive functional results from their purchases (i.e., their packs work as intended), there appears to be a small subset of defective units in existence. Aftermarket parts will never be perfect. therefore, you should anticipate receiving functionality from your purchase but also understand that defects will occur occasionally.

Who Should Buy This
If you currently own a Lectric XP 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0 step over and your original OEM pack has finally reached the end-of-life cycle and you're searching for an easy-to-install drop-in replacement for that failed pack. then this battery will meet your requirements.
Since this pack utilizes the DCH006 foldable design and is very specific to Lectric XP frames. do not buy this pack if your frame uses a different type of mounting system or has a larger/different length than the standard DCH006 design.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this battery compatible with the Lectric XP 3.0?
The listing states that this battery fits the Lectric XP 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 step-over models. It uses the DCH006 folding design which is the standard for those specific frames. However, while the physical fit is correct, you must check your controller plug type before you order. Lectric sometimes changes the electrical connectors between years of production. If the plug does not match, you will need to swap the wires from your old battery to this new one to make it function correctly.
How long does it take to charge this 10.4Ah battery?
The battery includes a 54.6V 2A charger. Given the 499Wh capacity of the pack, a 2A charger will take approximately 5 to 6 hours to reach a full charge. This is a relatively slow charging rate which is actually beneficial for the chemistry of the lithium cells. Faster chargers generate more heat, which can degrade the lifespan of the battery over several years. You should plan to plug the bike in overnight to ensure it is ready for your morning commute.
How much range can I expect to get on a single charge?
Do not purchase this pack if you are seeking long-distance off road touring or need to travel over 100 miles on continuous power.
Can this battery work with a 1000W motor?
The specs indicate that this battery is suitable for motors ranging from 250W up to 1000W. The 30A max constant discharge rating is what allows the battery to handle the high power draw of a 1kilwatt motor. A 1000W motor pulls significant current when you are accelerating or climbing. If the BMS were limited to 20A, the battery would shut down to protect itself when the motor is under heavy load. This pack is built to handle those higher-performance setups on the compatible XP frames.
