Motive lithium systems for Indian E-Rickshaw andthree-wheeler passenger fleets

Against Delhi’s 50℃ summer extremes, monsoon street flooding and the strict AIS-156 Phase 2 regime, TIANQIU delivers automotive-grade engineering that supports 3-day customs clearance and three years of fault-free fleet operation. The pack has been verified against open-flame non-propagation, thermal-runaway audible and visual warning, and dual IP67 air-tightness under heat — and fits Mayuri, Yatri, Saarthi, Terra and Bajaj RE conversion protocols.

query_statsMarket Overview

The Indian installed base, in numbers

Registered and informally operated passenger and cargo E-Rickshaws in India have passed 2.4 million units. More than 85% of them still run heavy, inefficient lead-acid packs that need topping up and replacement every 6–8 months.

What the vehicles actually do, and what the duty cycles show

From the Delhi centralised charging hubs to five and six passengers on a city block, TIANQIU packs have been proven in daily 14-hour operation, monsoon immersion and direct high-temperature sun exposure.

Drop-in to the original battery bayHandled enclosure, plug and play30cm monsoon immersion tested100% CAN waveform consistency
  • Delhi Electric Hub charging stations: large green and yellow E-Rickshaw charging yards running single-gun 30A–40A fast charging. The thermal protection algorithm prevents the heat build-up cut-out that a Delhi noon at 45–50℃ would otherwise cause.
  • High-frequency city-block duty: the system sustains 150A peak climbing discharge. Through constant stop-start traffic and continuous full-load overloading, the discharge plateau stays flat with no cut-out and no false undervoltage lock.
  • Drop-in replacement in local workshops: an integrated handle and a regular metal sheet enclosure let an ordinary technician replace four heavy 12V lead-acid blocks with a single LiFePO4 unit in about 30 minutes.
  • Factory and compliance bench testing: 100% of packs pass penetration-propagation prevention, dual hardware overcharge cut-off and CAN waveform consistency checks before dispatch, so they clear the port quickly.

Extreme climate and the 50℃ summer duty cycle

Indian summer temperatures routinely exceed 48–50℃, with road surface radiant heat reaching 65℃. In monsoon season, urban flooding forces vehicles to wade through 20–30cm of water.

water_drop

IP67 structural-level water protection

The enclosure is 1.5mm thickened, impact-resistant galvanised sheet with a powder coating, closed by a circular weather-resistant silicone gasket and a breather valve. Thirty minutes immersed in 30cm of standing water produced no ingress, with insulation resistance holding above 100MΩ.

A-grade prismatic LiFePO4 cells with high thermal stability

High-thermal-stability A-grade prismatic LiFePO4 cells with self-heating onset at 210℃ hold a stable discharge plateau through 65℃ radiant road heat and continuous loaded climbs — thermal runaway is engineered out at cell level.

Multi-point NTC matrix with stepped thermal charging

A multi-point NTC matrix lets the BMS apply smooth dynamic derating at 55℃ instead of a hard cut-out. Our patented stepped thermal charge protocol drops current smoothly from 30A to 15A once cell surface temperature reaches 52℃, then restores full fast charging as the day cools.

The AIS-156 Phase 2 technical barrier, and how we clear it

ARAI / ICAT implemented the strictest test regime in 2023. TIANQIU holds its own certification code and vehicle type-approval backing, and can supply the complete ARAI, ICAT and BIS submission parameter set, BMS logic diagrams and the English test report list.

crisis_alert

Thermal runaway audible and visual warning

Once a single cell enters thermal runaway, the BMS must signal the dashboard with a high-frequency audible and visual alarm within 5 seconds, and the pack must show no external flame propagation for 5 minutes.

lock

Active anti-tampering firmware

Encrypted CAN communication and firmware validation prevent owners or outside workshops from altering protection thresholds or flashing around the protection voltage.

vibration

Mechanical shock and penetration isolation

Automotive-grade aerogel barriers and flame-retardant frames sit between cells, surviving 100 hours of three-axis violent vibration on Indian roads. Busbars are laser-welded copper-aluminium composite with tensile shear strength above 400N.

electrical_services

Dual hardware relay cut-off

If the software MOSFET protection fails, a dedicated high-voltage fast-blow fuse and an automotive contactor force the circuit open within 0.02 seconds, removing the fire risk.

Indian customs and engineering questions we answer most

What duty (BCD) and GST apply to imported lithium battery packs in India?expand_more
Indian customs currently applies Basic Customs Duty of roughly 10%–15% on finished lithium battery packs, depending on the declared classification and the governing customs notification. GST on traction batteries for electric vehicles stands at 18% (an inversion against the 5% on complete vehicles, but creditable as input tax). We supply bilingual packing lists and origin documents so buyers can claim the credit compliantly.
How does the Chinese factory support an Indian customer through AIS-156 Phase 2 type approval?expand_more
TIANQIU covers the whole path: air-freighting test packs, supplying the complete test drawings and circuit-level flame-retardant reports, and assigning a senior engineer to work directly with the ARAI (Pune) or ICAT (Manesar) laboratory. Our module structure and BMS algorithms have already passed this regime, so there is no trial-and-error rework.
With monsoon flooding in Mumbai or Kolkata, can the battery short out or take on water?expand_more
The pack carries IP67 certification. The enclosure is 1.5mm thickened, impact-resistant galvanised sheet with a powder coating, sealed by a circular weather-resistant silicone gasket and a breather valve. Thirty minutes immersed in 30cm of standing water showed no ingress, and insulation resistance held steady above 100MΩ.
At 50℃ in Delhi, will charging trip or will the protection board lock out?expand_more
Our dedicated BMS runs a patented stepped thermal charge management protocol. When cell surface temperature reaches 52℃ it instructs the charger to step current smoothly from 30A down to 15A for gentle charging, avoiding a thermal spike and lock-out. Once ambient temperature falls, full fast charging resumes so the driver can keep charging through the day.
On India’s rough long-distance roads, how are internal welds and cell connections kept from cracking?expand_more
We never use manual nickel-strip spot welding. The line uses continuous laser-welded copper-aluminium composite busbars with tensile shear strength above the 400N automotive standard. Cells are surrounded with dedicated polymer flame-retardant cushioning foam and validated on a 10G three-axis road-simulation vibration table.
How are after-sales service and parts supported quickly inside India?expand_more
For Indian distributors ordering full containers we supply a free in-vehicle spares kit worth 2% of order value (complete BMS control board, harness, fuses and instrument cluster), and the cloud remote-diagnostics port reads historical BMS fault codes — enabling 24-hour air-and-ground coordinated repair.
