Imagine a battery in your forklift fleet that charges faster, lasts longer AND can save you money. Sounds ideal, right? Well, that’s what the latest lithium-ion battery from Exide plans to deliver! Want to know why this is making big waves in the material handling world? Here’s why.
The Big Deal About Lithium-Ion
Lithium-ion batteries are really changing the game. They offer:
- Faster Charging: Charge during breaks without downtime.
- Energy Efficiency: Cut energy costs and get more hours of operation.
- Longer Lifespan: Designed to outlast traditional lead-acid batteries.
For businesses with forklift fleets, the savings can add up quickly. Exide’s new battery can reportedly save €1.125 million over its lifetime for a fleet of 25 trucks. That’s… crazy!
Smart Technology Meets Simplicity
Exide has also paired its battery with a company called Fleet, a cloud-based management system that monitors battery health, energy usage, and performance. It even schedules preventative maintenance so that you can keep your operations running smoothly, without having to worry. Meanwhile, Jungheinrich has also developed a lithium-ion battery with ultra-high energy density, which allows for rapid charging. These new developments within the material handling world help keep forklifts working without interruptions, even during peak times.
