The correct choice depends on the product sheet. The APEX range includes configurable models with 12Ah or 15Ah lead-acid and 20Ah or 30Ah lithium options, fixed-battery models, and full-size models with 20Ah, 30Ah, or 40Ah lithium options only. Xiaojiu uses 60V or 72V lithium in 20Ah or 30Ah. Keep the voltage listed for each model and confirm the final configuration in the quote.

60V 20Ah or 72V 30Ah: how do they compare?

Ah alone does not compare energy across different voltages. Use Wh = nominal voltage (V) × capacity (Ah). Example using the four lithium configurations for the 1000W Xiaojiu:

Reference calculation using catalog ratings, not a battery test.
ConfigurationCalculationReference energy
60V 20Ah60 × 201200 Wh
60V 30Ah60 × 301800 Wh
72V 20Ah72 × 201440 Wh
72V 30Ah72 × 302160 Wh

20Ah or 30Ah at the same voltage?

Using Xiaojiu catalog ratings: at 60V, 20Ah corresponds to 1200 Wh and 30Ah to 1800 Wh. At 72V, the figures are 1440 Wh and 2160 Wh. Both pairs have a calculated difference of 50%, not a promise of 50% more range. These are purchase options; confirm the supplied vehicle system for each.

Confirm nominal voltage on the battery sheet. Wh is not range in km, motor power, or proof of quality. Use, load, and conditions affect results; changing voltage requires a compatible vehicle system and charger.

Calculation reference: Adafruit: Power Capacity and Power Capability.

How to choose before requesting a quote

First select the vehicle format and application. Then open the individual product sheet and confirm whether its battery is configurable, fixed, or lithium only.

Include the model, quantity, destination city, voltage, capacity, and required chemistry in the quote request. Do not automatically use another model's battery as a reference.

How APEX prevents a higher price from hiding a lower configuration

APEX does not inflate specifications. Every quote must identify the model, motor power, and battery configuration offered. Compare those details with the product sheet: the quoted price corresponds to the declared configuration, without charging for a higher option and delivering a lower one.

Example: a quote for the 1000W Xiaojiu

A Xiaojiu quote specifying a 1000W motor and a 60V 20Ah lithium battery covers that particular combination. It is not automatically equivalent to a 60V 30Ah, 72V 20Ah, or 72V 30Ah quote, even when the photograph and model name are the same.

Compare proposals with the same configuration and quantity. Confirm in writing which items are included and how freight and other costs are handled; do not assume that every battery option is included at the same quoted price.

Build the product mix before the quote

Build a shortlist across five categories using real motor, battery, packaging, and 40HQ data without assuming demand or recommending quantities.

Read the guide

Information for a comparable quote

  • Model name and item code, when available
  • Motor power listed on the product sheet
  • Battery voltage and capacity
  • Chemistry: lead-acid or lithium
  • Quantity and destination city

What to request to check the configuration

  • A written quote specifying model, motor, nominal voltage, Ah and battery chemistry.
  • Identification and legible photographs of the battery and charger labels linked to the quote.
  • Confirmation of included items and the supplied vehicle, battery and charger combination.
  • If capacity or range verification is needed, a test report identifying the sample and test conditions.

This checklist guides document requests; it does not claim every option has a published test report. Labels help verify identity but do not replace testing. Confirm document availability before ordering.

Questions about batteries for dealer scooters

Does a 30Ah battery guarantee 50% more range than a 20Ah battery?

No. At the same nominal voltage, 30Ah represents 50% more calculated energy than 20Ah, not a guaranteed 50% increase in kilometers. Ask for range results using the same model, load and test conditions. The Wh table is not a range test.

Can I replace a 60V battery with a 72V battery in the same scooter?

Do not treat purchase options as approval for a direct swap. Before ordering, request written confirmation of the vehicle and charger combination supplied for your selected battery. This guide does not provide conversion instructions or confirm compatibility for an already delivered vehicle.

Does a photograph or label prove actual battery capacity?

Not on its own. These help check identification. To verify capacity, request documentation and a test report identifying the battery and test conditions. The catalog does not publish capacity test results for each option; we do not replace these with estimates.

Are 12Ah and 15Ah always lead-acid batteries?

For the configurable models listed in this guide, yes. The 12Ah and 15Ah options are lead-acid, while 20Ah and 30Ah are lithium. For fixed-configuration models, use only the individual product sheet.

Which full-size models offer 20Ah, 30Ah, and 40Ah lithium batteries?

Shangling, Large Harley, Tank, and Zhanlang 3rd Generation offer 20Ah, 30Ah, and 40Ah lithium batteries at the voltages listed on their sheets.

Which batteries are available for Xiaojiu (Nine)?

Xiaojiu offers four lithium combinations: 60V 20Ah, 60V 30Ah, 72V 20Ah, and 72V 30Ah.

How can a buyer confirm that the price matches the configuration?

Compare the model name, motor power, voltage, capacity, and battery chemistry in the quote with the product sheet. APEX states these items so the quoted and delivered configurations correspond.

Are 60V 20Ah and 72V 30Ah the same Xiaojiu configuration?

No. They are two of the four lithium options for the 1000W Xiaojiu, with different voltage and capacity. Each proposal must state the included combination; do not assume both have the same price or are included in the same quote.

Confirmation before import

Battery capacity and voltage alone do not determine range, classification, or road-use permission. Confirm the final configuration, intended use, and requirements applicable in Brazil with the responsible professionals and authorities.

Take the correct configuration into the quote

Open the model sheet and include motor, voltage, battery capacity, chemistry, and quantity.

APEX commitment: the quoted model, motor, and battery must match the delivered configuration.
