News - Lithium Battery for Tricycles: Why Daly BMS Matters

For tricycle owners, selecting the right lithium battery can be tricky. Whether it’s a “wild” tricycle used for daily commuting or cargo transport, the battery’s performance directly impacts efficiency. Beyond the battery type, one component often overlooked is the Battery Management System (BMS) — a critical factor in safety, longevity, and performance.

First, range is a top concern. Tricycles have more space for larger batteries, but temperature differences between northern and southern regions affect range significantly. In cold climates (below -10°C), lithium-ion batteries (like NCM) retain better performance, while in mild areas, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries are more stable.

Lifespan is another key factor. LiFePO4 batteries typically last over 2000 cycles, nearly double the 1000-1500 cycles of NCM batteries. Though LiFePO4 has a lower energy density, its longer lifespan makes it cost-effective for frequent tricycle use.

Cost-wise, NCM batteries are 20-30% pricier upfront, but LiFePO4’s longer life balances the investment over time. Safety is non-negotiable: LiFePO4’s thermal stability outperforms NCM (unless NCM uses solid-state tech), making it safer for tricycles.

However, no lithium battery performs well without a quality BMS. A reliable BMS monitors voltage, current, and temperature in real-time, preventing overcharging, over-discharging, and short circuits.

DalyBMS, a leading BMS manufacturer, offers a solution tailored for tricycles. Their BMS supports both NCM and LiFePO4, with easy Bluetooth switching via mobile app for parameter checks. Compatible with various cell configurations, it ensures optimal battery performance in any scenario.

Choosing the right lithium battery for your tricycle starts with understanding your needs — and pairing it with a trusted BMS like Daly’s.
