Comprehensive comparison between lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries for forklifts.

Comprehensive comparison between lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries for forklifts.

Fast charging speed
Forklift lithium-ion batteries rely on their own chemical properties to meet the requirements of fast charging, with a charging time of only 2 hours from 10% to 100%, and 8-10 hours from 20% to 100% for lead-acid batteries.

No memory effect during charging

Forklift lithium-ion batteries have no memory when charged, so there is no need to worry about the lifespan of forklift lithium-ion batteries being affected. Users can effectively use their work break time to replenish their battery, making it convenient for work statistics. Forklift lithium-ion batteries have low energy loss during charging and discharging, and maintain their rated output power regardless of the remaining amount of electricity.
Intermittent charging of lead-acid batteries with charging memory effect can cause serious harm to the battery and shorten its lifespan. The correct charging and discharging operation for lead-acid batteries: 20% -100% periodic balanced charging.

Longevity period

The average service life of lead-acid batteries is 1200 hours (approximately 6000 operating hours), while the cycle life of lithium iron phosphate batteries is over 4000 hours (approximately 24000 operating hours)

Wide temperature range

Lithium ion batteries have good discharge performance under high or low temperature conditions between -20 ° C and 60 ° C. At -20 ° C, the discharge efficiency of lithium-ion batteries can reach 80% to 90%, while the discharge efficiency of lead-acid batteries is less than 30%.

Improve operational efficiency

Lithium ion battery fast charging mode, 1-3 hour fast charging mode, suitable for multi shift work. The charger eliminates the time and safety hazards of battery replacement, provides stronger power, and can completely replace internal combustion forklifts. Technical monitoring of forklift and battery status to improve forklift management.

Stable performance lithium-ion batteries

Compared with lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries can also be used in forklifts to derive various special performance lithium-ion batteries by changing the material, providing various power support for forklifts. If necessary, it can be made into low-temperature lithium-ion batteries, whose performance cannot be achieved by lead-acid batteries.
