For electric forklift, which is more suitable for lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries?

Lithium-ion batteries are becoming the biggest competitors of traditional lead-acid batteries in the electric propulsion of forklifts.

Compared with lead-acid batteries, the advantages of using lithium electricity on forks are more obvious. First, due to the small size and easy layout, the weight of the vehicle is adjusted to make the weight lighter, the center of gravity lower, and energy saving.

Second, because the lithium battery is maintainance-free, there is no need to design a drain for cleaning acid on the body, nor is it necessary to attach acid corrosion resistant materials to the inner measurements of the battery box.

Third, the residual capacity of equivalent discharge is 20 % higher; Increase working hours or reduce battery selection capacity.

Fourth, make full use of lithium batteries can quickly charge the advantage, reduce the battery capacity, and also reduce the relative cost of manufacturing forklifts.

Hou Fei, vice president of Guoxuan Gaoke, calculated an account and compared the overall operation of the 80V/575AH lead-acid battery and the 80V/378AH lithium battery on the forklift truck. It was found that using lithium batteries, each unit was in use for 8 years. It can effectively save 301,728 yuan for enterprises, save 37716 yuan per year, and use 10 Linde E30S as an example, which can save 302,160 yuan per year for enterprises.

In addition, compared to lead-acid batteries, the use of lithium batteries on forklifts can also generate lithium batteries with a variety of special properties by changing the formula, providing innovative design for forklifts and providing a variety of power support. If you can make a low-temperature lithium battery, its performance is not achieved by lead-acid batteries.

The management system of the lithium battery pack can perform fine management on the monomer battery. When the monomer battery is abnormal, it can be found immediately and the damage of the entire battery pack can be avoided. In addition, after the car is used, the lithium battery can be recycled and used in the forklift rental market to make it become a treasure. These are the advantages of lithium batteries over lead acid.

It is worth noting that despite the obvious advantages, there are still a series of bottlenecks that need to be broken through in the application of lithium batteries on forks, including high one-time procurement costs, safety risks, and the lack of relevant industry standards.
