LEAD-ACID BATTERIES FOR ELECTRIC FORKLIFTS
YOUR BENEFITS AT A GLANCELead-acid batteries are suitable for different applications. Whether light or heavy duty — we have the right battery capacity available for every application.
PAY LESS UPFRONT
The initial cost of lead-acid batteries is significantly lower than its Li-ION counterpart. Lead-acid batteries are often seen as the ‘go-to’ traditional battery option for forklifts as they have been in the industry since the 1700's.
LOW MAINTENANCE
Lead-acid provides a safe and cost-effective energy solution and are therefore still the first choice for companies that rely on electric forklifts.
To ensure a long battery life - pay attention to regular battery maintenance - regularly monitor electrolyte levels, and carry out weekly/annual checks.
BATTERY CAPACITY
With a fully charged lead-acid battery, 80% of the energy is available for use. The remaining 20% residual capacity should remain untouched as far as possible, otherwise this will have a negative impact on battery performance in the long term.
LOADING TIME
Depending on the design of the charger used and the associated charging curve, charging times of between 8 and 12 hours for a full charge are the norm. Furthermore, the previous intensity of use is also a factor for the subsequent energy intake. Batteries that have overheated due to intensive use should cool down for one shift before they are connected to the charger.
BATTERY CHANGE SOLUTIONS
Offering you a range of battery handling options to meet any requirement in your warehouse, from simple and economical trolleys for individual trucks and small fleets through to semi-automated systems that maximise productivity in the most intensive operations.
