What are the advantages of lithium-ion battery forklifts compared to lead-acid battery forklifts? Lithium ion batteries have a wide range of applications, including UPS power supply, energy storage, data center communication, forklifts, towers, base stations, and other scenarios, in addition to electric vehicles. Compared with lead-acid batteries, the advantages of using lithium-ion batteries on forklifts are more obvious. In the promotion of forklift electrification, lithium-ion batteries are becoming the biggest competitor to traditional lead-acid batteries.

What are the advantages of lithium-ion battery forklifts compared to lead-acid battery forklifts?

At present, most lithium-ion battery vehicles are used in commuter cars, electric maintenance vehicles, sanitation and cleaning vehicles, and short-term buses. However, due to the fact that forklifts mostly operate within the factory area, with fixed work intensity and environment, the work intensity is generally strong. Therefore, the many advantages of lithium-ion batteries can be reflected in electric forklifts.

Fast charging speed
Lithium ion batteries rely on their own chemical properties to meet faster charging speed requirements, with a charging time of only 2 hours from 10% to 100%. Lead acid batteries require 8-10 hours of charging time from 20% to 100%.

Charging without memory
The memory free charging feature of forklift lithium-ion batteries enables random and intermittent charging without affecting their lifespan. Users can efficiently use their work and rest time to replenish their battery, making it convenient for them to coordinate their work. During the charging and discharging process, lithium-ion batteries experience minimal energy loss and maintain their rated output power regardless of the remaining battery capacity.

Lead acid batteries have charging memory, and random or intermittent charging can seriously damage the battery and shorten its lifespan. Correct charging and discharging operation of lead-acid batteries: 20% -100% full charge discharge; Regularly perform balanced charging.

Not convenient for users to coordinate their work.

Long service life
Lead acid batteries have an average cycle life of 1200 times (approximately 6000 hours of operation), while lithium iron phosphate batteries have a cycle life of over 4000 times (approximately 24000 hours of operation). In practical use, lithium iron phosphate batteries still have over 65% capacity after 4000+uses, while lead-acid batteries have less than 50% capacity after 1200 uses.

Wide discharge temperature range
Lithium ion batteries exhibit good discharge performance at high or low temperatures between -20 ° C and 60 ° C. At -20 ° C, the discharge efficiency of lithium-ion batteries is 80% to 90%, while lead-acid batteries have a discharge efficiency of less than 30%.

Improve operational efficiency

Lithium ion battery fast charging mode, 1-3 hour fast charging mode suitable for multi shift operations. Ready to charge and use eliminates the time and safety risks of battery replacement, with stronger power that can completely replace internal combustion forklifts. Technical monitoring of forklift and battery status to improve forklift management level.

Lithium ion batteries with special performance
Regarding lead-acid batteries, the use of lithium-ion batteries in forklifts can also be achieved by changing the formula to derive various special performance lithium-ion batteries, providing innovative design and power support for forklifts. If it can be made into low-temperature lithium-ion batteries, its performance cannot be achieved by lead-acid batteries.
