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.
