How long is the cycle life and what is the expected service life?
The 72V 300Ah lithium forklift battery delivers over 4000 cycles at 80% DOD, translating to 5–10 years of service life under typical industrial use. Proper charging and temperature management can further extend operational longevity and minimize replacement frequency.
How does the lithium battery compare to lead-acid alternatives?
Lithium batteries last 3–5 times longer, charge up to 3x faster, and maintain 95% energy efficiency versus 70–80% for lead-acid. They are 30–50% lighter, require no watering or equalization, and support opportunity charging. This results in less downtime, lower maintenance, and significant long-term cost savings.
What are the charging, maintenance, and operational requirements?
The battery supports fast charging (1–3 hours), operates from -20°C to 60°C, and is maintenance-free. Use a charger rated for 10–20% of Ah capacity (30–60A for 300Ah). Avoid deep discharges, store at moderate temperatures, and keep terminals clean for optimal performance. Telemetry systems enable remote monitoring and predictive maintenance.
What certifications and safety standards does the battery meet?
