TMC Forklifts Experience Upgrade from Lead-Acid to BSLBATT Lithium Battery Replacement
A large wholesale warehouse from South America had suffered the troubles of using lead-acid batteries for their TCM forklifts when they previously chose batteries. Although lead-acid batteries have a lower initial purchase price, the following aspects can increase the cost significantly over the long term:
Maintenance costs
Lead-acid batteries require regular maintenance involving water refilling, cleaning and electrolyte management. These maintenance tasks require additional labor and material costs, and once improperly maintained, may result in degraded or damaged battery performance, further increasing costs.
Replacement Frequency
Lead-acid batteries have a short lifespan, usually only 1,000-1,500 charge/discharge cycles, and need to be replaced after a few years of use. In addition, lead-acid batteries take a long time to charge, usually requiring 8 hours of charging, plus 4 hours of cooling time, which means that the forklift will be down for at least 12 hours after each charge. For organizations with high-intensity, multi-shift operations, this can lead to a reduction in operational efficiency, resulting in the need for additional battery backup or spare forklifts to keep the production line running.
In contrast, BSLBATT lithium batteries support rapid charging, taking only 2-3 hours to fully charge, allowing them to be recharged during breaks or between shifts. In addition, Li-ion batteries also support opportunity charging, which further reduces forklift downtime in multi-shift environments, thereby improving operational efficiency.
BSLBATT lithium battery manufacturer is proud to offer rugged and reliable batteries to handle any workload. Whether it’s a light task or a large one, BSL high quality lithium batteries are perfectly suited to any environment, while effectively reducing the total cost of ownership of a forklift battery, bringing companies 20-40% cost savings, and thus realizing significant economic benefits.
