As an avid cyclist and frequent e-bike user, I recently made the decision to try out the Reention Dorado Plus Ebike Battery 48V 12.8Ah 16Ah, a battery specifically designed as a replacement solution for Aventon Pace 500 Lithium Batteries, but also compatible with NCM Moscow and Magnumbikes Electric Bikes.
Like many e-bike enthusiasts, power, sustainability, and reliability are key factors for me when searching for a replacement battery. This product seemed to have it all, so the reviews saying so certainly piqued my interest. Here’s my in-depth review after a month of use.
Manufacturer Reputation
Produced by YOSE POWER, a veteran company in the ebike lithium battery market since 2011, I was confident the company had the experience needed to manufacture a reliable product. Their aim of providing professional and affordable ebike power systems without compromising on quality did give me a sense of assurance. Being aware that all their batteries have the BMS protective plate to prevent overcharge, over-discharge, and over-currenting was definitely a confidence builder.
Physical Attributes
Aesthetically, the battery is unique in design and obviously well-crafted. The battery case is compact yet solid, measuring approximately 15.4in/18in2.6in4in in dimensions. Compact and lightweight, it is not overly bulky which makes it rather easy to handle and install on the electric bike.
Capacity
The battery comes with capacities of 12.8Ah and 16Ah giving it a powerful punch. It’s an exciting factor for any cyclist as it allows for longer trips without worrying about running out of energy.
Safety
When it comes to lithium batteries, safety is one aspect that shouldn’t be overlooked. This Reention Dorado Battery has built-in 20A BMS protection, which offers protection against short circuits, overcharging, and over-discharging. It also has temperature protection, ensuring that the battery operates safely in any environment.
Compatibility
The beauty of the Reention Dorado Plus is its compatibility with several Ebike models. Apart from being perfect for Aventon Pace 500, it can work seamlessly with models like NCM Moscow Magnumbikes, Electric Bike, NCM Venice, and much more.
Performance
Now, onto the performance, and this is where the Reention Dorado Plus truly impresses. With a standard discharge current of 10A and a maximum current of 20A, the delivery is smooth, speedy, and efficient.
It’s stated that the ebike battery charge cycle exceeds 1000 times. Truly speaking, I have not gotten to utilize all of those cycles yet, but I noticed a significant improvement in the mileage per charge cycle, compared to the previous battery.
Warranty and Customer Service
The warranty period for the battery cells is rather generous, offering 18 months of coverage. Any issues encountered within that period would be dealt with by the manufacturer. Beyond the warranty, YOSE POWER has a customer service team that responds to inquiries and issues within 8 hours which is quite commendable.
Final Verdict
In conclusion, the Reention Dorado Plus Ebike Battery is a solid, high-performing, and long-lasting option for anyone in need of a reliable, powerful e-bike replacement battery. It’s a worthwhile investment for any ebike user, delivering on its promises of power and impressive lifecycle. I’d recommend it particularly for those who own ebikes compatible with its design, but anyone can potentially benefit from this exceptional product.
