what is the difference
between Li ion battery and lead acid battery?

With the continuous development of the logistics industry, forklifts, as an important logistics transportation tool,
have become one of the necessary equipment for modern industrial production.
There are generally two power sources for forklifts, one is lead-acid battery and the other is lithium battery.
This article will introduce in detail the difference between forklift lead-acid batteries and forklift lithium batteries.

Lead-acid batteries are one of the most widely used power sources for forklifts.
Although lead-acid batteries are relatively low-cost, they have the following disadvantages:

poor battery life.the longer charging time.



After the lead-acid battery is used for a long time, the power will gradually be consumed and reduced.
It can only support the use of the forklift for a short period of time and needs to be replaced or recharged frequently.
Lead-acid batteries usually require a long period of charging to reach a full state,
which not only wastes time but also limits the use time of the forklift.

pollutes the environment greatly.



Lead-acid batteries will produce toxic and harmful waste gas and waste liquid during use,
causing pollution to the environment and requiring special treatment.

the maintenance cost.



Lead-acid batteries need to be added with distilled water after 10-15 days of use to maintain the service life of the battery.
This is not only an expense but also an increase in time cost.

Lithium batteries are a new type of battery technology that are
attracting more and more attention as a power source for forklifts.
Its principle is similar to lead-acid batteries, but has the following advantages:

 strong battery life.



Lithium batteries have a long service life, which can provide the forklift with longer use capabilities
and reduce the frequency of replacement and charging.

charging speed is fast.

Compared with lead-acid batteries,
lithium batteries usually require only a short period of charging to reach a full state,
thereby reducing waiting time and improving the efficiency of the forklift.

It is environmentally friendly.
Lithium batteries do not need to add liquid,
do not produce polluting waste gas and waste liquid,
and are harmless to the environment.

Can achieve 30 minutes of fast charging.
This allows you to fully charge the forklift during your break, ensuring work efficiency.
 

 

►To sum up, lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
When selecting the power source,
the choice should be based on the actual situation to meet the use needs of the forklift,
and pay attention to environmental protection during use.
