  Properties such as the radius, charge and energy of ${U}(1)$ gauged Q-balls
are analytically complicated to characterize. A mapping relation is known
between the ground state of gauged Q-balls and global Q-balls that reduces the
complexity of the analysis of the ground state of gauged Q-balls. Extending the
map to excited states is a powerful tool to determine the properties of the
rest of gauged Q-ball solution space. In this article we explore the mapping
relation extension to characterize numerically and analytically excited gauged
Q-balls solutions and their properties. A feature of excited gauged Q-balls is
acquiring a maximum number excited states and having a maximal size, which we
analytically predict via the mapping relation. We show that analytical
approximations of the charge and energy, in the thin-wall limit, can be
extended to excited gauged Q-balls and discuss the types of instabilities of
these states.
