What Is The Difference between Lithium Battery Counterweight Forklift Truck And Traditional Forklift Truck? What Are The Unique Advantages?

With the improvement of environmental protection, efficiency and economy requirements in the industrial field, lithium battery counterweight forklifts are gradually occupying a place in the market.

Compared with the traditional internal combustion counterweight forklift, the lithium battery counterweight forklift also has its own unique advantages, and has been favored by many people.

So, where are the unique advantages of lithium battery counterweight forklifts? Today, I will analyze it with you and hope to help you.

01 Comparison of power sources

Traditional forklifts usually use internal combustion engines (diesel, gasoline or liquefied gas) or lead-acid batteries as a power source, while lithium battery forklifts are an emerging technology application in recent years, using energy-efficient lithium-ion batteries as a power system.

Like the internal combustion engine forklift with diesel, gasoline or liquefied gas as fuel, to provide powerful power, suitable for heavy loads and complex outdoor conditions.

But they are often associated with higher emissions and noise, higher maintenance costs, and are not friendly to environmentally demanding sites.

Some people may say that there are lead-acid battery electric forklifts, which do have obvious advantages over internal combustion forklifts in terms of environmental protection and low noise, but their batteries have a long charging time, short service life, and require frequent maintenance.

The lithium battery forklift has the same characteristics as the lead-acid battery forklift with zero emissions and low noise, but has more significant advantages in efficiency, maintenance and life.

02 Lithium battery balancing forklift unique advantages

First, compared with lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries have a higher energy density and store more electricity, so they can support a longer working cycle.

For frequently used scenarios, the battery life advantage of lithium battery forklifts can greatly improve work efficiency, in addition, the charging time of lithium battery forklifts is much shorter than that of lead-acid batteries.

Lead-acid battery forklifts usually require 8 hours of charging time, while lithium batteries can be charged in 1-3 hours, and can even support fast charging or gap charging, reducing downtime.

Another advantage of lithium battery forklifts is almost maintenance-free, traditional lead-acid batteries require regular water, clean electrodes and maintain the correct charging procedure, otherwise it is easy to affect the battery life.

Lithium batteries do not need this complex maintenance, only need to focus on daily charging operations, but also have a longer service life, usually 2-3 times that of lead-acid batteries.

In addition, some lithium battery forklifts also support energy recovery technology, during braking or falling, excess energy can be converted into electricity through the recovery system and stored in the battery, further improving the efficiency of energy utilization.
