Understanding the Scale of the Tea Garden and the Volume of Picking Tasks

- **Large Tea Gardens:** For expansive tea gardens requiring continuous operation over extended periods, it is advisable to select a battery with a larger capacity. For instance, in tea gardens spanning dozens or even hundreds of mu, a battery capacity of 12 to 20Ah (ampere-hours) or more is recommended. This ensures that after a single charge, substantial areas can be covered for picking, thereby reducing charging frequency and enhancing overall picking efficiency.

- **Small Tea Gardens or Family-Owned Tea Gardens:** In smaller tea gardens—such as those covering only a few mu—or family-operated gardens, a tea-picking machine equipped with a battery capacity around 10 to 12Ah may suffice. Given that the picking tasks are relatively light and do not require prolonged continuous operation, batteries with lower capacities also offer cost advantages and shorter charging times, facilitating ease of use.

Consideration of Picking Frequency and Cycle

- **High-Frequency Picking:** In cases where the picking frequency is high—such as in certain early-maturing varieties necessitating multiple harvests within short intervals—a tea-picking machine featuring both large battery capacity and rapid charging capabilities becomes essential. A higher battery capacity ensures sufficient power remains available for each task during frequent usage; meanwhile, fast-charging functionality allows for quick replenishment between pickings to facilitate timely subsequent operations.

- **Low-Frequency Picking:** Conversely, for tea gardens characterized by low picking frequencies—where specific specialty teas are harvested only once or twice annually—the demand for extensive battery capacity diminishes. The selection can be based on the actual duration required for individual harvesting sessions as long as it meets task requirements; this approach helps mitigate equipment costs effectively.

Integration with Power Requirements and Performance of the Tea-Picking Machine

- **High-Power Tea-Picking Machines:** High-power machines exhibiting greater rotational speeds or torque levels consume more electricity due to their motors, gears, and blades' operational demands. Therefore, when selecting such machines, pairing them with appropriately sized batteries is crucial. For example: A motor rated at 300 to 500 watts would ideally pair with batteries having capacities ranging from 12 to 20Ah to ensure optimal performance; otherwise insufficiently sized batteries could hinder maximum output efficiency while risking potential damage through excessive discharge.

- **Low-Power Tea-Picking Machines:** In contrast ,low-power machines operating within ranges like100 -300watts exhibit reduced energy consumption .A slightly smaller-capacity battery ,approximately10 -12 Ah ,is suitable here .This combination satisfies power needs without unnecessarily increasing weight/cost associated oversized units.

· Consider the Battery Endurance Time and Work Intensity

- **High-Intensity Operations:** If a tea-picking machine is required to operate at high intensity for extended periods in complex terrains or lush tea gardens—such as mountainous regions or areas with vigorous tea tree growth—it is essential to select a machine equipped with a large battery capacity and prolonged endurance. In these scenarios, the motors and blades of the tea-picking machine must function continuously under significant load, consuming substantial amounts of electricity while necessitating sufficient battery capacity to sustain operations. For instance, under such demanding working conditions, it is advisable to choose a tea-picking machine with a battery capacity of 12Ah or more that can ensure continuous operation for at least 7 to 10 hours.

- **General-Intensity Operations:** In contrast, for tea gardens characterized by relatively flat terrain and moderate densities of tea trees—where work intensity remains low—the requirement for battery capacity can be appropriately reduced. The selection should align with actual operational needs; thus, opting for a battery capacity around 10 to 12Ah that provides an endurance time of approximately 5 to 7 hours would suffice. This approach not only meets picking requirements but also ensures cost-effectiveness in equipment..
