48V Li-ion (13S) Battery Voltage Chart: Full (100%) to Empty (0%) Resting & Load Table
RÉSUMÉ TECHNIQUE & RÉPONSE DIRECTE • 48V LI-ION (13S) TELEMETRY
A fully charged 48V Li-ion (13S) battery measures 54.6V at 100% (4.20V/cell). Its 80% longevity charge target is 51.6V, its 50% winter storage midpoint is 48.8V, and its 0% BMS low-voltage cutoff is 39.0V (3.00V/cell). Under motor load, expect a dynamic voltage sag of ~3.2V.

Engineering Notes for 48V Li-ion (13S) Systems
Applications: 750W–1000W Fat-Tire E-Bikes (Engwe, Lectric XP, Rad Power, Aventon, Fiido), Bafang BBS02 Kits & 48V Scooters (Kukirin G2).
Charger Specification: Only use a dedicated 54.6V CC/CV (2A–5A) charger. Never connect a higher-voltage charger, and never charge a pack when internal cell temperature is below 0°C (32°F).
Winter Storage Window (40%–60%): Maintain resting voltage between 48.8V and 50.2V inside an insulated or fire-resistant enclosure.
