Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the main differences between lithium and lead-acid forklift batteries?
Lithium batteries charge faster, last longer, and require less maintenance compared to lead-acid. Lead-acid is cheaper initially but needs regular upkeep and has slower charging times.
-
Which is better for multi-shift operations – lithium or lead-acid?
Lithium-ion is the better choice for multi-shift or high-usage environments due to fast charging, no downtime, and the ability to opportunity charge during breaks.
-
Are lithium forklift batteries safe?
Yes, lithium-ion batteries used in forklifts are designed with multiple safety features, including built-in battery management systems (BMS) that monitor temperature and voltage for safe operation.
-
Is it worth upgrading from lead-acid to lithium?
Upgrading can be worth it for businesses seeking lower running costs, increased uptime, and less maintenance. Though more expensive upfront, lithium often delivers better long-term value.
