Some factories that produce food, medicine or liquids need to create low temperatures to store their products, and this leads to material handling equipment that needs to work in these low temperatures. As we all know, the energy source of the device is a tough challenge to work at low temperatures, which assumes that the choice of the battery is extremely significant.
Lead-acid batteries at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C, the battery capacity may be reduced by 30% to 50%, and the charging speed and efficiency are greatly reduced. Extremely cold temperatures, in particular, may freeze the battery electrolyte, which reduces the usable capacity of the battery, causes permanent damage to the battery, and greatly decreases the cycle life of the battery.
Lithium batteries at low temperatures
Lithium batteries are more stable and efficient at low temperatures. The energy density of lithium batteries is about 3-4 times higher than that of lead-acid batteries, which means that lithium batteries can store more electricity in the same volume and weight. The internal resistance of lithium batteries increases less at low temperatures and is usually 50% lower than that of lead-acid batteries, resulting in a more stable current output. Low temperatures have an effect on the charging efficiency of lithium batteries, but it is still about 30% higher than lead-acid batteries. In addition, the cycle life of lithium batteries is 2-3 times longer than that of lead-acid batteries, even in poor environments, demonstrating higher reliability and economy.
Optimal power supply options for cold warehouse handling equipment
There is a huge pressure on cold storage warehouse, the more products that need to be refrigerated and at the same time ensuring that the handling equipment can operate in a low temperature environment. As a result, BSLBATT offer a complete battery solution for this situation. BSLBATT uses LiFePO4 batteries, a perfect replacement for lead-acid batteries in electrically powered material handling equipment, with excellent low-temperature performance, high cycle life and safe operation.
Why do BSLBATT lithium batteries perform better in cold storage warehouse?
BSLBATT lithium batteries are designed and tested to withstand the harshest environments, with added features that prioritize safety and performance in cold environments.
- Active Heating: BSLBATT lithium batteries have a separate heater on each module that provides continuous heating in temperatures up to -40°C
- UL Recognition: This certification demonstrates our commitment to providing safe products and ensures performance under the harshest of conditions
- Board insulation: prevents energy loss during charging/discharging of the battery and maintains a constant temperature
- Silicone Desiccant: Silicone desiccant is added to each battery pack to prevent condensation from affecting the battery.
- Fully Enclosed: BSLBATT lithium batteries are fully enclosed with an IP67 rating to protect the battery from condensation, ice and other liquids.
- Fast Charging: Batteries can be recharged faster, helping to minimize downtime in high-volume refrigeration operations, and can also be recharged in quick-freeze cabinets and refrigerated warehouses.
BSLBATT provides the best LiFePO4 battery solutions, We have many LiFePO4 battery engineers with more than 10 years of experience, the most advanced LiFePO4 battery technology as well as a professional after-sales team.
