Currently, the best-selling lead-acid battery electric forklifts are still available on the market, but many regions have begun to introduce lithium battery electric forklifts. As the name suggests, a lithium battery electric forklift simply means replacing lead-acid with a lithium battery. Compared to lead-acid batteries, is lithium-ion batteries for electric forklifts better? Is it really as vivid as what companies and distributors say?

Advantages of lithium battery electric forklifts

1. Lithium batteries have a long lifespan, light weight, and small size

Lithium ion battery electric forklifts currently have diverse brands. The power performance of lithium ion battery electric bicycles is similar to that of lead-acid batteries (simple electric bicycles), with a charging time of 6-8 hours. Depending on the battery capacity, they can run 30-45 kilometers and weigh only about 1/5 of lead-acid batteries. The biggest advantage of lithium ion battery electric bicycles is their long lifespan. It should be stated that the price of lithium batteries is only superficial. In fact, after careful calculation, the cost is similar to that of lead-acid batteries. Currently, lithium batteries are generally guaranteed for 2 years, while lead-acid batteries are guaranteed for 1 year.

2. Lithium batteries have activation free characteristics

When using lithium batteries, it should be noted that after being left for a period of time, the battery enters a sleep state. At this time, the capacity is lower than the normal value, and the usage time is also shortened. But lithium batteries are easy to activate, as they can be activated and restored to normal capacity after 3-5 normal charging and discharging cycles. Due to the inherent characteristics of lithium batteries, they have almost no memory effect. Therefore, users do not need special methods or equipment during the activation process of new lithium batteries.

3. Lithium batteries without memory effect

Consumers have always been concerned about memory effects when charging lead-acid and nickel batteries. When using lithium batteries, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. Lithium batteries do not have memory effects. If there are still consumers who don't know how to charge lithium batteries, then it's worth taking a look at the following content.

4. Lithium batteries are more environmentally friendly

Green and environmentally friendly, regardless of production, use, or disposal, it does not contain or produce any toxic and harmful heavy metal elements and substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.

Disadvantages of lithium battery electric forklifts

1. The high price of lithium-ion battery electric forklifts is due to lithium-ion batteries

At present, the price of lithium-ion battery electric bicycles is generally several hundred to one thousand yuan higher than that of lead-acid battery electric forklifts, so it is difficult to gain recognition from consumers and customers on the market. Lithium batteries are lightweight, environmentally friendly, and will not cause environmental pollution when discarded. Once the application technology matures and market sales increase, the price of lithium battery electric bicycles will decrease.

2. Long charging time for lithium batteries can have the opposite effect

Lithium batteries or chargers will automatically stop charging after the battery is fully charged, and there is no "trickle" charging that nickel chargers refer to as lasting for more than 10 hours. That is to say, if your lithium battery is fully charged and placed on the charger, it is also a white charge. And none of us can guarantee that the characteristics of the charging and discharging protection circuit of the battery will never change and the quality will be foolproof, so your battery will be on the brink of danger for a long time. This is also another reason why we oppose long-term charging.

3. The power performance of lithium batteries needs to be improved

Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries have much lower resistance to fluctuations in charging and discharging, which is a major symptom of the inability to effectively use lithium batteries for high-power vehicles, leading to a decrease in durability.

4. The safety issues of lithium-ion batteries are prominent

The safety of lithium batteries still needs to be improved. The hidden dangers of ignition, combustion, and even explosion of lithium batteries cannot be completely eliminated at present. A collision with a vehicle may cause the positive and negative electrode materials of the battery to break through the separator, and during braking, the energy quickly recharges to the battery due to the instantaneous ultra-high current, which can cause a short circuit, temperature rise, combustion, and even explosion of the battery. The cause of fire is collision and short circuit, which leads to the precipitation of lithium ions. Contact with air can cause fire and combustion. In addition, the electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries is organic electrolyte, which is more prone to ignition and combustion when in contact with air.

The advantages and disadvantages of lithium batteries are obvious, but we have reason to believe that with the progress of the times, there will definitely be lithium batteries that are both safe and lightweight, with sufficient range.
