FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The answer requires a bit of analysis. First, is your current charging system meeting the needs of your application? How much downtime does your operation experience? Also, what is the (labor) cost per month to maintain and charging batteries? The cost to maintain lead-acid batteries can really add up over the long term.
For multi-shift operations: lithium-ion batteries pay for themselves in just a few years. An average single-shift operation will find lithium-ion batteries pays for themselves in about five years, sometimes less. Keep in mind L-I batteries last up to four times longer so you’ll be buying batteries less often.

Some models are fully-charged in as little as one hour– Lead-acid batteries need 8 hours to charge and another 8 hours to cool down. A lithium-ion forklift battery can make more efficient use of opportunity charging during breaks –making lithium ion an ideal choice for multi-shift operations.

Longer, more consistent performance – As lead-acid batteries discharge, their voltage drops. Meaning the longer they work, the slower they run.
Lithium-ion batteries store about three times more energy than a conventional battery, provide consistent voltage, and don’t slow down your machine as they discharge.

Save money and space– Lithium batteries eliminate the need for spare batteries and charging rooms. Some even have onboard chargers. Save time and money by eliminating time spent on watering, cleaning and equalizing forklift batteries.
