36Vclass

36Vclass refers to a category of batteries and electrical systems designed to operate at or around a nominal voltage of 36 volts. This voltage level is commonly found in a variety of applications, particularly those requiring a balance between power and portability. One of the most prevalent uses of 36V systems is in electric bicycles, where this voltage provides sufficient power for motor assistance without being excessively heavy or complex. Similarly, cordless power tools, such as drills, saws, and leaf blowers, often utilize 36V battery packs for enhanced performance and longer runtimes compared to lower voltage alternatives.

Beyond consumer electronics, 36Vclass systems can be found in some niche industrial and commercial equipment, as well as in certain types of electric scooters and mobility devices. The choice of 36V often represents a trade-off. It offers more power and efficiency than 12V or 24V systems but is typically less powerful and more robust than higher voltage systems like 48V or higher, which are more common in larger electric vehicles or heavy-duty applications. The specific nominal voltage can vary slightly, with actual fully charged voltages often being higher, and discharged voltages lower, depending on the battery chemistry and the number of cells in series.
