What is the difference between ternary batteries and lead-acid batteries on forklifts?

Forklifts generally use two main types of batteries: lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries. Lead-acid batteries are widely used because of their low cost, but because they require a lot of time for operation and maintenance, lithium batteries, as an energy source that can replace lead-acid batteries, have more perfect efficiency and operating time, so more companies choose lithium batteries.

Advantages and disadvantages of lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries

Lithium-ion forklift battery:

Advantages:

Fast charging: Charging time for opportunity charging is usually 1 to 4 hours.

Longer service life: It can provide 5,000 to 8,000 charging cycles, almost 5 times that of lead-acid batteries.

Higher energy efficiency: More energy-efficient than lead-acid batteries.

Safer: Safer, no need to disassemble for charging, no risk of acid leakage and toxic gas.

Easy maintenance: Maintenance-free, more convenient to use.

Disadvantages:

Infrastructure requirements: The power infrastructure may need to be upgraded to accommodate fast charging.

Lead-acid forklift battery:

Advantages: Affordable and low maintenance cost

Disadvantages: Requires frequent charging and maintenance, high environmental pollution.
