Ultra-fast charging, 24/7 uninterrupted operation
Our lithium-ion battery solution will revolutionize forklift operating efficiency, significantly reducing charging time to just 1-2 hours, six times faster than traditional lead-acid batteries. Our unique feature is support for "opportunistic charging": a quick 15-minute charge during operator breaks ensures continuous forklift operation without impacting battery life. This eliminates the bulky battery swapping rooms common in lead-acid battery systems. For busy distribution centers and logistics hubs, the space saved translates directly to higher storage capacity and workflow efficiency.
Near-zero maintenance, significantly reduced maintenance costs
Say goodbye to the time-consuming and labor-intensive maintenance of lead-acid batteries. Our lithium-ion battery solution features an advanced integrated battery management system (BMS) that fully automates critical functions, eliminating tedious manual operations such as periodic water replenishment, terminal cleaning, and equalization charging. Significant impact on your profits: maintenance labor costs are reduced by 80% compared to lead-acid batteries. Real-world customer data attests to this advantage—annual maintenance costs for forklift batteries have dropped from an average of $1,200 per unit to just $150, freeing up resources for core business operations.
Superior Durability for Heavy-Duty and Extreme Environments
Our lithium-ion batteries utilize high-quality Grade A lithium-ion cells, designed specifically for the most demanding material handling environments. This translates to an 8-10 year lifespan—three times that of lead-acid batteries—ensuring long-term reliability and reducing battery replacement frequency. These batteries boast an IP67 dust and water resistance rating, enabling them to withstand dirty, damp warehouse floors and a variety of outdoor environments. They operate reliably and stably in extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C, making them ideal for cold storage (where lead-acid batteries suffer significant capacity loss at low temperatures, a common pain point) and outdoor locations with variable weather conditions. Regardless of your operating environment, you can rely on their consistent performance.
Enhanced Safety and Sustainability Compliance
In modern warehouse operations, safety and sustainability are paramount, and our lithium-ion batteries excel in both areas. The fully sealed design eliminates the risks of acid leakage and hydrogen emissions—two major hazards associated with lead-acid batteries. This not only protects your employees but also helps you comply with stringent workplace safety regulations.
Rapid ROI and Cost-Effective Fleet Upgrades
While lithium-ion batteries require a higher upfront investment than lead-acid batteries, their ROI is both rapid and substantial. Full cost recovery can be achieved within 2-3 years (45 months), and even faster if available tax credits are utilized. The productivity gains alone are compelling: faster charging speeds and reduced downtime due to no battery replacements can improve operational efficiency by 22%. Furthermore, energy savings, such as up to 98% charging efficiency compared to the 70-80% of lead-acid batteries, further enhance its value. For fleets looking to upgrade but not wanting to spend heavily on new equipment, upgrading existing forklifts from lead-acid to lithium-ion batteries costs up to 70% less than purchasing new forklifts, making it a cost-effective modernization option.
Wide Compatibility and Easy Installation
We understand the challenge of dealing with a wide variety of forklifts in most warehouses. Therefore, our lithium-ion battery solutions are designed for broad compatibility, working with 95% of mainstream forklift models on the market. Our custom size options ensure a perfect fit into existing battery compartments originally designed for lead-acid batteries, eliminating the need for costly modifications to your equipment.
