The difference between
lithium batteries and batteries in electric forklifts.
With the increasing overall environmental awareness of people, this factor is also affecting the market for forklifts. Why do you say that? At first glance, there may not be much correlation between the two, but in fact, there is a strong connection. Traditional forklifts use power fuel or electric vehicles, and the pollution caused by fuel is obvious and goes without saying. As for electric vehicles, everyone definitely thinks of lead-acid batteries. Some people may say that batteries do not pollute much, but in fact, this is a lack of comparison. Forklift lithium batteries are the object of comparison for batteries. And in the future forklift market, the proportion of electric forklifts will definitely increase, so lithium batteries for forklifts will also be the main power source for electric forklifts.
In addition, while experiencing the various environmental advantages of electric forklifts, many users have gradually discovered some limitations of batteries. For example, during charging, flammable gases are produced and have a stimulating odor; The battery life is often relatively short, making it difficult to meet user expectations, and as the number of charges increases, the battery life will rapidly decline. The charging time of lead-acid batteries is longer than the usage time of charged batteries, which means that they run out of battery after working for one and a half hours of charging (for example), and this energy efficiency ratio is too low. If the customer needs * * work, they also need to use multiple sets of batteries, and the batteries need to be replaced frequently during the operation process, which is too troublesome, time-consuming, and laborious. And the daily maintenance of batteries is troublesome, with high labor costs. For users who use batteries on a daily basis, these factors often become a problem.
In order to address the limitations of lead-acid batteries, Yuma has launched a customized business for lithium batteries. Compared to batteries, lithium batteries also have the following advantages:
Lithium batteries are completely enclosed and do not produce gas during charging, making them a daily maintenance free battery.
Lithium batteries have a fast charging function, with a full charge time of 1-2 hours. Customers can charge at any time during their lunch break or other working hours, which can greatly reduce the proportion of backup batteries used.
Lithium batteries decay slowly and have a charging life of 3500-4000 cycles. When reaching 4000 charging cycles, the discharge rate can still reach 80%.
The charging efficiency of lithium batteries is 95%, while that of lead-acid batteries is 75%, which means that lithium batteries with the same capacity have higher charging efficiency. For customers using * * batteries, the cost savings are a significant cost reduction.
It's not that
forklift lithium batteries have no drawbacks. As a new energy battery, although lithium batteries have unique technological advantages that batteries do not have, on the other hand, they also have a price disadvantage. Lithium batteries with the same capacity are usually sold at 2-5 times the price of the battery. Combining the advantages and disadvantages of lithium batteries, the use of lithium batteries is particularly suitable for the working conditions of customers with high battery consumption. Each electric forklift is equipped with 2-3 sets of batteries, and customers need personnel who frequently replace batteries, such as in the logistics industry. For customers who do not allow the use of flammable gases and irritating odors, such as the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, there are strict requirements for the charging environment. For customers who finely manage the overall operating costs, please consider that the cost of power-saving is sufficient to offset the cost of the lithium battery body.
