Amid the popularization of shared mobility and two-wheel electric vehicles, battery swapping cabinets have become increasingly prominent as key infrastructure to address pain points such as charging safety, range anxiety, and environmental protection. Whether for operators' procurement or users' use, a basic understanding of battery swapping cabinets is essential. Below are the key points to consider when evaluating battery swapping cabinets:
Compatibility of Basic Parameters
First, pay attention to the specification compatibility of lithium batteries. Lithium batteries from different brands vary in parameters such as size, capacity, and voltage—for example, common 48V and 60V batteries have different charging requirements. High-quality battery swapping cabinets adopt a modular design, which can adapt to most mainstream batteries on the market and improve warehouse space utilization rate.
Considerations for Operational Efficiency
Operational service capacity should be calculated based on user density analysis. For instance, a single 8-bin battery swapping cabinet can serve a certain number of users with a daily average of 3 swaps per day. In terms of regional coverage, reference can be made to the configuration ratio of a certain number of electric vehicles to battery swapping cabinets. Professional operational plan design can accurately configure the number of bins based on regional riding data, balancing equipment utilization rate and user experience.
Core Safety Performance
Safety is the top priority of battery swapping cabinets, requiring strict assessment from both electrical and structural aspects.
- Electrical Safety: Must be equipped with functions such as overcharge protection (automatic power cutoff after full charging), over-temperature protection (automatic power cutoff when exceeding a certain temperature), and short-circuit protection (rapid power cutoff response).
- Structural Safety: The cabinet body should be made of fire-retardant materials, meet standard waterproof ratings, and be fitted with locks with anti-forced entry capability.
- Comprehensive Safety System: Should be equipped with a Battery Management System (BMS) for real-time battery status monitoring, combined with fireproof compartment design and smoke alarm devices to build a full-range safety protection system.
- Compliance Certifications: Indispensable for source safety, including national standard certifications, third-party EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing, and lithium battery charging module safety certifications.
Brand & Full-Cycle Services
When selecting a battery swapping cabinet brand, technical strength and market reputation are crucial. Prioritize brands with independent R&D capabilities for core technologies, mature algorithms, and advanced technical capabilities. A comprehensive after-sales service system is the guarantee for long-term stable operation, including customer service response, regular inspections, and free software system upgrades. Full-process follow-up from solution design to operation and maintenance ensures the equipment operates efficiently.
