The classics of traction batteries – acid and gel batteries – are gradually dying out. The need for constant control, unpredictable breakdowns make you look for an alternative. Lithium batteries for forklifts do not have the disadvantages characteristic of acid and gel batteries, and their advantages bring a tangible economic effect from use.
Lithium batteries: advantages and applications
As one of the power source options for forklifts, lithium batteries are increasingly chosen for their advantages. First of all, this is a record long service life: 2-3 times longer than acid and gel ones. Of course, the battery will fully serve its resource under the conditions of proper storage and charging.
When the warehouse is in continuous operation, 2 sets of lead-acid batteries are required for each forklift, so that there is no downtime: they are charged for at least 8 hours. Lithium batteries are fully charged in 2 hours, so you can get by with one set.
They have no memory effect. This means that lithium batteries can be charged partially, and this does not affect the service life. They can be recharged to 80% capacity even during a 30-minute lunch break. They will release energy in the same way as when they are fully charged.
Lithium batteries are less dependent on the ambient temperature than acid batteries. The latter rapidly lose capacity at sub-zero temperatures. In lithium batteries, the capacity does not decrease depending on the temperature. They provide energy equally effectively at -40 and +50°C. They can be used both in refrigerators and under the scorching sun.
Why choose lithium batteries for warehouse equipment?
The price of lithium batteries is 2-3 times higher than that of lead batteries, but they are increasingly being bought for forklifts. This choice is primarily related to economic expediency:
- Thanks to fast recharging, one set is enough for 24-hour operation of the loader.
- Guaranteed many times longer service life, absence of such unpleasant surprises as sulphation and shorting in lead batteries.
- No special room is required for charging: lithium batteries do not emit harmful substances. Therefore, it is possible to use the warehouse area more rationally.
- The environmental friendliness of lithium batteries allows their use in food, pharmaceutical and other warehouses with delicate products.
- Lithium batteries are the easiest to maintain: you only need to charge them and keep them clean.
An important operational feature of lithium batteries is that they provide energy at a constant level until they are completely discharged. The power of lead-acid batteries decreases as they discharge, which affects the performance of the equipment.
