The service life of a fully charged Citycoco battery includes two core dimensions: single-use endurance time (riding duration after full charge) and static storage duration (battery retention time when not in use). These two indicators are affected by battery capacity, voltage, motor power, riding habits, and environmental temperature, showing obvious differences in different usage scenarios. A clear understanding of the full-charge duration can help users arrange charging plans reasonably and avoid range anxiety and battery over-damage.

In terms of single riding duration, taking the mainstream 60V specification as an example, a fully charged 12Ah battery can support 1 to 5 hours of continuous riding at a constant speed of 25km/h on flat roads. If frequent acceleration and deceleration or uphill riding is involved, the continuous riding time will be shortened to about 40 minutes to 1 hour. A fully charged 20Ah battery can last 5 to 5 hours under standard constant-speed riding conditions, and 5 to 5 hours under complex road and variable speed conditions. For high-power 1500W motor models, the power consumption speed is accelerated, and the full-charge continuous riding time of 12Ah and 20Ah batteries will be reduced by about 20% on average compared with low-power motors.

In terms of static storage duration, high-quality lithium batteries for Citycoco have a very low self-discharge rate. A new fully charged battery can maintain 85% or more power after 30 days of static placement at normal temperature, and still have 60% to 70% power after 60 days. However, the storage duration is greatly affected by temperature. In high-temperature summer environments above 35°C, the battery self-discharge rate increases, and the power will drop by 15% to 20% in half a month. In low-temperature winter environments below 0°C, the battery activity decreases, and long-term storage is prone to irreversible capacity loss. It is not recommended to store a fully charged battery for a long time in winter; maintaining 50% to 70% power is more conducive to battery protection.

In addition, the battery aging degree affects the full-charge duration. After 300 to 500 charge-discharge cycles, the battery capacity will decay to 80% of the new state. At this time, the single riding duration will be significantly shortened, and the power loss speed will be faster. Irregular charging habits such as frequent over-discharge and over-charge will also accelerate battery aging, resulting in a sharp drop in full-charge service life. Standardized use and maintenance can effectively prolong the stable full-charge service life of the battery.
