Table of Contents

BSLBATT is a renowned lithium battery manufacturer from China, specializing in lithium batteries for 12 years, providing intelligent lithium battery solutions for the warehousing and distribution industry. With a longer life and better performance than traditional batteries, BSLBATT lithium batteries are recognized by clients worldwide. We have successfully deployed 15,000 lithium batteries globally, delivering to more than 100 countries. With UL2580, IEC62619, CE, and UN38.3 certifications, BSL provide the best battery solution for industrial forklifts in the warehousing and distribution industry.

Different equipment in the material handling industry has different requirements for battery performance. For example, electric pallet jacks are frequently used for short-distance and high-frequency handling operations, which puts higher demands on the charging efficiency, service life, and maintenance convenience of the batteries. Therefore, BSLBATT has developed an advanced electric pallet jack battery solution, offering outstanding performance and reliability for material handling operations. Designed to meet the demands of modern warehouses, this lithium battery provides efficient, long-lasting power, making it the ideal choice for an electric pallet jack battery replacement.

How Lead-Acid Batteries Limit Pallet Jack Efficiency

Lead-acid batteries were once the standard power source for electric pallet jacks, and because of their low initial cost, they have become an affordable option for many businesses. However, with the growth of warehouse handling needs, the limitations of lead-acid batteries have become more apparent.

Slow Charging Times

The average full charge time is 8-12 hours, which means electric pallet jacks generally have longer downtime and seriously limit the efficiency of material handling.


Frequent Maintenance Needs

Need for regular water and cleaning to prevent battery corrosion and to check for any damage, adding labour costs and downtime to a certain extent.


Shorter Lifespan

Even with a low purchase cost, the need for frequent replacements further increases the cost of ownership.


Limited Performance at Low Temperatures

The optimal operating temperature is 20°C - 25°C. Below zero, the discharge capacity decreases dramatically and results in lower charging efficiency and the risk of freezing.

Higher Total Cost of Ownership

Even with a low initial purchase cost, maintenance, shorter service life and frequent replacements can significantly increase the total cost of ownership of a pallet jacks.

Upgrade Electric Pallet Jacks with BSLBATT Lithium Batteries

With the development of battery technology, the price of lithium batteries has fallen dramatically, the price is no longer the main consideration when companies choose forklift batteries. Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries offer advantages in terms of performance, service life, charging speed and maintenance requirements, which can greatly improve the operating efficiency and reduce long-term costs.

As a world-renowned lithium battery manufacturer, BSLBATT uses advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate technology to provide efficient, long-lasting and economical electric pallet jack batteries. Compared with lead-acid batteries, BSLBATT lithium batteries are the best alternative to lead-acid batteries due to their longer service life, lower maintenance costs and higher energy efficiency.

High energy density

Greater energy storage capacity. Lithium batteries provide more energy compared to lead-acid batteries of the same weight and size.

Fast charging

Fully charges in just 2-3 hours, greatly reducing downtime and boosting productivity.

Long lifespan

Up to 4,000 charge-discharge cycles with 2,000 cycles at 90% depth of discharge, reducing replacement costs and downtime.

No maintenance and eco-friendly

Requires little maintenance, saves time and labour costs and produces lower CO2 emissions, helping businesses to reduce their carbon footprint and minimize energy consumption.

Wide temperature range

Equipped with heating and cooling systems to ensure normal operation between -30°C and 45°C, maintaining efficiency and longevity.

Safe and stable

Advanced Battery Management System (BMS) monitors performance and prevents failures, ensuring safe and reliable operation.

How BSLBATT Lithium Batteries Improved Unicarriers Pallet Jack Performance

Last year, a retail warehouse in Malaysia reached out to BSLBATT. They used UniCarriers pallet jacks powered by lead-acid batteries for warehouse material handling. Limitations of lead-acid battery become apparent after long-term use. Batteries take a long time to charge, resulting in frequent downtime and reduced handling efficiency in the warehouse. In addition, regular maintenance tasks such as watering and cleaning increase labour costs in warehouses. The rapid ageing of batteries leads to the need for frequent replacements, further increasing the operating costs of the warehouse.

To get out of this situation, the client decided to replace the lead-acid batteries with BSLBATT lithium batteries. We customized a 78V lithium battery solution for their requirements, and the BSL lithium batteries have delivered excellent performance on UniCarriers forklifts: charging time is greatly reduced, making it perfectly suited for two-shift work, the maintenance-free design eliminates the time and costs associated with lead-acid battery maintenance, and the extended service life of up to 4,000 cycles delivers long-term savings. This upgrade not only improves operational efficiency, but also improves the overall productivity of the warehouse.
