Save 35% Energy Costs
Lithium-ion forklifts save 35% over traditional lead-acid batteries (5-year statistic) and 57% over traditional diesel forklifts.
More Efficiency, Less Maintenance
Lithium batteries do not require regular water refilling or other routine maintenance like lead-acid batteries.
Lithium batteries are maintenance free and do not suffer from problems such as leakage or corrosion, which greatly reduces maintenance work and associated costs.
From the process of use, lithium batteries have unrivaled advantages over traditional lead-acid batteries in terms of charging flexibility, energy efficiency, safety, flexibility, and environmental friendliness.

FAQ
Do Forklifts Use Lithium Batteries?
More operations are using lithium batteries to power their electric forklifts. Multi-shift applications such as food processing, manufacturing, 3PL, and other 24/7 material handling operations benefit most from lithium industrial forklift batteries.
Operations where forklifts work in cold environments also quickly benefit from lithium-ion batteries. They can be fast-charged in cold temperatures and maintain their capacity in cold temperatures.
Although lithium batteries have a high initial cost, you can save on the following in the long run:
● Longevity: A lithium-ion battery can last 2 to 4X longer than a lead-acid battery.
● Energy bills: Lithium forklift batteries are 30% more energy-efficient and charge 8X faster than lead-acid batteries.
● Downtime: Lithium batteries can be opportunity-charged during operator breaks and don’t need to be swapped, saving downtime and longer run times.
● Labor costs: These batteries don’t require maintenance, watering, or equalizing.
● Productivity: Longer run times result in better efficiency and productivity.
● Real estate: With lithium forklift batteries, you can reclaim the charging area and use it for additional storage.
How Much Does a Lithium Forklift Battery Cost?
A lithium forklift battery can cost $2000+. The costs range between $2,000 to $6,000 per forklift battery, slightly more expensive than lead-acid batteries – just about 1.5X more.
What Is the Biggest Advantage of a Lithium-Ion Forklift Battery?
Increased runtime and more productivity. This is because Lithium batteries don’t lose power like lead-acid and they can charge quicker (opportunity charge). But lithium batteries are also cost-effective and return the RIO in the long run because of increased efficiency, reduced costs (electricity and labor), and improved productivity.
What Is the Biggest Disadvantage of a Lithium-Ion Forklift Battery?
The cost is the biggest downside of lithium forklift batteries. But in those 2 years, thanks to the decline in raw material prices, lithium battery prices are now very close to the price of lead-acid batteries.
How Long Does It Take to Charge a Lithium-Ion Forklift Battery?
A lithium forklift battery can charge up to 80% in an hour. But Lithium batteries can also charge throughout the day in 30-minute spurts or fully charge in 2 to 4-hour continuous sessions. Compared to the 8-hour charge time plus an additional 8-hour cooldown time for a lead-acid battery, lithium-ion batteries are more efficient.
How Do You Prolong the Life of a Lithium Battery?
Here are some top tips for prolonging the life of your lithium forklift battery:
· Minimize exposure to high temperatures during use or storage
· Minimize exposure to low temperatures, especially when charging
· Use the correct battery charger when charging
· Avoid physical tampering or damage
Is It Okay to Leave a Lithium-Ion Battery on the Charger?
Leaving a lithium-ion battery on a charger is okay. The batteries generally have BMS that monitor charging and will shut down once they’re charged. This helps stop overcharging.
Can a Lithium Forklift Battery Be Overcharged?
No. Lithium batteries generally have BMS, which will protect the battery from being overcharged. It will shut down once it’s fully charged.
Can a Lithium Forklift Battery Be Over-Discharged?
No. Normally lithium forklift batteries have a depth of discharge of around 95% and have BMS inside to protect themselves from over-discharging. But you still need to avoid over-discharging a lithium battery because doing so can potentially cause individual cells to discharge at different states, resulting in the battery’s permanent damage.
What Is the Average Lithium Forklift Battery Operating Temperature?
Lithium batteries can operate in nearly any environment, with temperatures ranging from -4° F to 130° F. That said, the optimal operating temperature range is between 50° F and 110° F.
This allows the Lithium forklift battery to operate at peak performance while preserving its longevity and function at the highest capacity for even up to 6,000 cycles.
Do Lithium Batteries Get Worse Over Time?
Lithium-ion batteries have a limited life span of about 4,000 to 6,000 charging cycles, while some go up to 8,000 cycles. They will gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge due to aging, and this is irreversible. As the Lithium battery ages and loses capacity, the run time also decreases.
What Kills a Lithium Battery?
Lithium batteries are naturally degrading. But they can sometimes die instantly. Heat is the leading killer of lithium batteries. High or low temperatures can kill lithium batteries. The effects of too much increased or reduced temperature can kill the battery’s cells and result in killing it entirely.
