1.How safe are Lithium-Ion Batteries?

Lithium-ion is named for its active materials. There are several types of chemical components to build rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The most two relevant materials to the forklift industry are Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC).

NMC technology is very well known from the car industry and other manufacturing where weight and size play a major role. The advantages of NMC batteries is a high energy density and the compact size. The disadvantages of the NMC cell is the high possibility of inflammation and explosion when punctures or overheated. 

LFP batteries are considered to be safe, non-flammable and non-hazardous for superior chemical and mechanical structure.
They can also withstand harsh conditions, be it freezing cold, scorching heat or rough terrain. When subjected to hazardous events, such as collision or short-circuiting, they won’t explode or catch fire, significantly reducing any chance of harm. 

2.What is the expected life of a lithium battery in years?

It depends on the application and the style of charging.  You can expect this battery to last as long as the truck itself. Customers are expected to replace their forklifts every five years because of the renewal of contracts. We also provide a 5 year warranty. But replacement with lit-ion this is not necessary anymore.

3.Can Lithium-ion batteries be charged anytime?

A Lithium-ion battery lives the longest when you keep your battery between 35-65%, or between 25-85%. The battery prefers quick charges. So charging during break times is the new normal way of working with batteries.

4.Can you offer support, if we have no technical teams?

Yes, we can. Our technicians will provide professional training and help.

5.Can you do OEM production for us?

Yes, we can. We provide various customized battery OEM for our customers. Please feel free to send us your requirment.
