Chisen 6-EVF-55- Comprehensive Analysis of the 12V 55Ah Lead-Acid Battery

Lead: The Chisen 6-EVF-55 is a 12V, 55Ah deep-cycle valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery designed for electric road vehicles such as golf carts, sightseeing cars and electric forklifts.

In the model name, "6" represents the number of cells; each cell has a nominal voltage of 2V, so 6 cells in series give a total voltage of 12V. "E" stands for Electric, "V" for Vehicle, and "F" for acid-proof (valve-regulated sealed). "55" is the rated capacity of 55 ampere-hours (Ah), rated at the 3-hour discharge rate (C3). In other words, discharging at the 3-hour rate with a 18.3A current for about 3 hours reaches the rated capacity of 55Ah, providing a clear reference of driving range.

The battery uses deep-cycle tubular/flat plates with an enhanced paste formula. The positive and negative plates resist corrosion and tolerate frequent deep discharge. The valve-regulated sealed design makes it maintenance-free. It offers excellent low-temperature performance and charge retention: capacity at -20℃ is no less than 0.70 times the rated capacity, and capacity at 45℃ is no less than 1.05 times, ensuring long-term stable use in outdoor and heavy-duty applications such as sightseeing cars and forklifts.

Electric sightseeing cars / scenic area vehicles: provides smooth and lasting power for passenger transport and climbing needs.

Golf carts: compact size and maintenance-free, ideal for frequent use on the course.

Electric forklifts / AGVs: excellent high-rate discharge performance for in-plant logistics and handling operations.

Low-speed electric vehicles: an economical and reliable power source for township commuting.

Long deep-cycle life: cycle durability of no less than 400 cycles (GB/T 32620.1-2016), tolerant of frequent deep discharge.

Excellent low-temperature performance: capacity at -20℃ is no less than 0.70Cₙ, usable in cold regions.

High-rate discharge: peak power ≥5×U×Cₙ, confidently handles start-stop and high-current conditions.

Maintenance-free: valve-regulated sealed design, no leakage risk, low maintenance cost.

Charging management: cycle (equalizing) charging voltage of 2.40~2.45V per cell (approx. 14.4~14.7V for a 12V battery, 7.2~7.35V for a 6V battery, 9.6~9.8V for an 8V battery); discharge cut-off voltage 1.75V per cell (3-hour rate). Use a smart charger that meets the specification and avoid overcharging or undercharging.

Routine checks: Inspect the battery appearance, terminals and connecting cables regularly, keep the surface clean, and address any swelling, leakage or loose terminals promptly.

Operating environment: Avoid prolonged operation in direct high-temperature sunlight or low-temperature conditions, ensure proper ventilation and heat dissipation, and avoid overloading to extend service life.

Electric sightseeing cars / scenic area vehicles: provides smooth and lasting power for passenger transport and climbing needs.

What about cycle life and low-temperature performance? Cycle durability is no less than 400 cycles (GB/T 32620.1-2016); capacity at -20℃ is no less than 0.70Cₙ, usable in cold regions.

What are the charging parameters? Cycle (equalizing) charging voltage 2.40~2.45V per cell; discharge cut-off voltage 1.75V per cell (3-hour rate).

Is it maintenance-free? Yes. The valve-regulated sealed structure makes it maintenance-free with no leakage risk.

As the electric sightseeing, logistics handling and low-speed mobility markets keep growing, the demand for deep-cycle, long-life power batteries remains steady. The 6-EVF-55, with reliable deep-cycle performance and wide-temperature adaptability, is a trustworthy power choice for scenic areas, factories and logistics sites.
