Grade A 18650 cells are used internally. With a 12.8Ah rating, it's essentially splitting the difference between the entry-level 10.4Ah and the high-capacity 14ah options available on this platform. the 30A BMS will accommodate motors up to 800W, which covers most folding ebike motors currently available on the market.

There's One thing to keep in mind regarding the ShunTongDa DCH-006: the key lock functions as a power switch. When you fully rotate the key to activate the battery, you will be able to ride the ebike. Leave the key inserted during operation and remove it when parked. The key will also serve as a locking mechanism securing the battery into the frame to prevent theft.

bms and Safety Features

the 30A BMS provides for overcharge, over-discharge, short circuit, overcurrent, and overheating protection. There's nothing out-of-the-ordinary here. It includes the same types of protection found in many mid-range ebike batteries offered at this price point.

More importantly for this specific battery is its design form factor. Internal folding batteries such as the DCH-006 reside inside the downtube of the ebike frame, thereby reducing their exposure to water and debris, relative to externally mounted rack or bottle batteries. Although the internal case is well-sealed for typical riding conditions, it is not waterproof.

ShunTongDa backs the ShunTongDa DCH-006 with a 12 month warranty and round-the-clock customer service. In addition, ShunTongDa also guarantees full satisfaction with regard to the battery performance, and offers a 100% money back guarantee if you're not satisfied with the fit.

Additionally, it may be useful to anyone purchasing a pre-owned folding ebike that did not have an installed battery or those that require additional range for extended rides. The key-switched power system is an excellent feature. It serves as both an added security element against theft when parking your bike.

Customer reviewers' primary comments were positive: it fits as expected, range is consistent with estimates provided by others using this product, and build quality is commensurate with what you would reasonably anticipate from a DCH-006 replacement product. For those with compatible bikes who need more range than the stock 10.4Ah provides, this ShunTongDa pack is one of the few drop-in DCH-006 options at this capacity tier. The 614Wh rating translates to roughly 15-20 actual miles for heavier riders or hilly terrain, while lighter riders on flat ground can push closer to 30 miles depending on how much pedal assist they use.

how long does shipping usually take?

Since ShunTongDa delivers directly from Amazon warehouse locations shipping times depend upon your local area and whether or not you have Amazon prime. However, you can generally count on receiving your shipment in anywhere from two to five days after ordering.

will i be able to run my ebike with an 800W motor?

Yes. The 30A BMS will allow you to operate motors up to 800W on a system operating at 48 volts. The battery can supply up to about 1440 watts continuously via the BMS. This covers most folding ebike motors including the Bafang and MXUS hubs these bikes typically run. For riders with an 800W motor who ride aggressively, the 30A headroom means the BMS stays cool even on long hill climbs which is a practical advantage over tighter BMS ratings.

what is average distance traveled per charge cycle?

Average range is estimated to be anywhere from twenty to thirty miles based on reasonable assistance levels and motor size of about five hundred watts. Your actual mileage will vary significantly based on several factors including your body weight, the terrain that you ride on, the ambient temperature, and how much assistance you are giving yourself.
