Lithium-Ion Power

Lithium-ion batteries are completely sealed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. Unlike lead-acid batteries, they do not corrode, sulfate, or emit dangerous gases. There’s no need for cleaning, watering, cool-down time, or a weekly equalization charge. Plus, with no loss of charge or other adverse effects from long-term storage, lithium-ion batteries are always ready to work when you are.

Charging a lithium-ion battery is easy, as the battery never has to leave the truck, so charging may occur wherever and whenever convenient. There is no need to return the lift truck to a battery charging and changing room. Use that space for something more productive. There is also no need to fully discharge and recharge a lithium-ion battery. Forklift operators can safely assume responsibility of their own motive power needs, with on-demand opportunity charging throughout the workday.

"Energy-dense" lithium-ion batteries have a 3,000-cycle expected lifespan, which is nearly three times longer than lead-acid batteries. With no harmful “memory effect” from opportunity charging a lithium-ion battery, you can count on it to deliver consistent power and reliable runtime over the long haul.

Lithium-ion forklift batteries are easy to use and easy to maintain. This translates to fewer issues of neglected care and potential warranty disputes. However, should any issues arise, you can rest easy knowing that our lithium-ion power systems carry a warranty for 60 months or 3,000 cycles.
