Why do forklifts use lithium batteries?

Environmental protection has increasingly become a global concern. Is the goal of carbon neutrality and carbon peak achieved? Clean energy, especially in forklift applications for indoor operations, is widely used.

At present, with the advancement of lithium battery materials in the lithium battery market, the advantages of lithium ion batteries on electric forklifts, such as fast charging at any time and long life, are becoming more and more prominent. The advantages of electric forklifts are that they are quiet and environmentally friendly. I believe everyone can understand this. Working indoors is pollution-free. At present, most of the batteries used in electric forklifts on the market are lithium batteries, but there are also some lead-acid batteries. So what are the advantages of using lithium batteries for forklifts compared to lead-acid batteries? The following electric forklift manufacturers will introduce you in detail:

Features are as follows:

1) Compared with large batteries such as lead-acid and nickel-cadmium, lithium-ion batteries do not contain elements that pollute the environment such as cadmium, lead, and mercury, and are pollution-free. When charging, it will not produce “hydrogen evolution” similar to lead-acid batteries, will not corrode wire terminals and battery boxes, and is environmentally friendly and reliable. The lithium iron phosphate battery has a life span of 5 to 10 years, no memory effect, and no need for frequent replacement;
2) The charging and discharging are in the same port, and the same plug solves the major safety problem that the forklift can be started during charging caused by the charging and discharging method;
3) The lithium-ion battery pack has an intelligent lithium battery management and protection circuit-BMS, which can effectively cut off the main circuit for low battery, short circuit, overcharge, high temperature and other faults, and can perform sound (buzzer) light (display) alarm, traditional lead-acid batteries do not have the above functions;
4) Triple security protection. We use intelligent monitoring and protection devices between the batteries, the internal total output of the battery, and the total bus output, which can monitor in real time and cut off protection under special conditions of the battery.
5) Lithium-ion batteries can be used as one of many materials and equipment, and integrated into the vast Internet of Things system, timely inform whether the battery needs maintenance or replacement, and automatically make statistical summary of the time of entering the factory, the number of charging and discharging, etc. ;
6) For special industries, such as airports, large warehousing and logistics centers, etc., the lithium-ion battery can be charged in the “fast charging mode”, that is, within 1 to 2 hours of the lunch break, the battery is fully charged to keep the vehicle fully charged. load, uninterrupted work;

7) Maintenance-free, can be automatically charged. After the lithium-ion battery is self-packed, there is no need for any special water injection, regular discharge, etc. Its unique constant active active balance technology greatly reduces the workload of on-site personnel and saves huge labor costs;

In the current lithium battery market, many products are recycled and packaged for re-sale, which is why everyone sees that the price of lithium batteries is very low. Another is that some manufacturers deliberately reduce the quality and capacity of products in order to improve their comprehensive competitiveness to achieve the purpose of saving costs, thereby lowering the price, which not only harms consumers, but also disrupts market prices. As a large-scale and guaranteed manufacturer, we can provide you with high-quality and stable lithium battery products. At present, Caterpillar, Hyundai, Sany Heavy Industry, etc. have adopted our similar solutions.
