As a global company dedicated to the R&D and manufacturing of lithium-ion battery system and one-stop solutions, RoyPow has developed high-performance lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, which are widely used in the fields of material handling equipment. RoyPow LiFePO4 forklift batteries provide a wide variety of advantages from increased efficiency, enhanced productivity, to a lower total cost of ownership, etc, benefiting fleet or forklift owners in their lifetime.
1. Increased productivity
In material handling, fast charging ability is important for single-shift operation or a large fleet working 24 hours a day, in order to get the job done as quickly as possible. RoyPow LiFePO4 forklift batteries require less time to charge than their lead-acid counterparts, effectively increasing productivity and throughput. In addition, the opportunity charging of RoyPow LiFePO4 batteries for material handling equipment enables the battery in the truck be charged directly during short breaks such as taking a rest or changing shifts, or be recharged at any time, reducing the need for a full charge every time and improving uptime. The consistent power for lifting heavy loads delivered by RoyPow LiFePO4 batteries also maintains greater productivity even toward the end of a shift.
2. Reduced downtime
RoyPow LiFePO4 forklift batteries require less frequent maintenance than lead-acid ones, which means less time will be spent on battery replacements and repairs. They have a lifespan of about 10 years, which is almost triple that of lead-acid ones. With the ability to recharge or opportunity charge, the need to perform battery swaps can be eliminated, which will reduce downtime.
3. Lowered cost of ownership
Frequent maintenance of lead-acid battery is not only time consuming but also costly. However, RoyPow LiFePO4 forklift batteries are more cost-effective in opposite. The up to 10 years battery life reduces overall battery investment and LiFePO4 batteries are virtually maintenance free which means there is no need for constant watering, equalize charging, or cleaning, saving greatly on labor and maintenance costs. Without gas or acid spills, the running costs of a battery room and ventilation system can be avoided as well.
4. Enhanced safety
As is known to all that lead-acid batteries are filled with electrolyte which may generates electricity through a chemical reaction of lead plates and sulfuric acid. However, RoyPow LiFePO4 forklift batteries are ultra safe during the operation due to their high thermal and chemical stability. They are fully sealed without any potentially harmful gases released during charging and thus no dedicated room is needed. Moreover, the built-in BMS provides multiple safety protections, including over charge, over discharge, over heating and short circuit protections and it can track cell temperatures to ensure they remain in safe operating ranges so there is no risk anymore.
5. Intelligent design
RoyPow smart 4G module can realize remote monitoring in real-time even in different countries. When faults occur, an alarm in time will be raised. Once the faults can not be solved, a remote diagnose online can be got to solve the problems as soon as possible. With OTA (over the air), remote software upgrades can solve software problems in time and GPS can lock the forklift automatically if necessary. Besides, the battery management system (BMS) can monitor cell voltage, electric current and battery temperature, so that any movement outside of normal range disconnects the cell or the entire battery.
6. Wide options
RoyPow LiFePO4 batteries offer wide voltage ranges for different forklift applications such logistics, manufacturing, warehouse, etc. and are compatible with various brands like Hyundai, Yale, Hyster, Crown, TCM, and more. To cover most of the forklift range, RoyPow LiFePO4 batteries can be generally divided into 4 systems: 24V, 36V, 48V, and 72 V /80 V / 90 V battery system. The 24V battery system is well suited for class 3 forklifts, like Walkie Pallet Jacks & walkie stackers, end riders, center riders, walkie stackers, etc, while the 36V battery system provides an elevated experience in class 2 forklifts, such as narrow aisle forklifts. For medium balanced electric forklifts, the 48V battery system is a perfect fit and 72 V /80 V / 90 V battery system will be great for heavy duty balanced forklifts in the market.
7. Original chargers
To deliver the optimal battery performance and the best communication between the charger and the battery, RoyPow self-developed original charges are supplied. The smart display of the charger shows the battery status and the operator can leave the truck between shifts or have a rest. The charger and forklift will automatically monitor whether the safety environment and battery condition are suitable for charging, and if ok, the charger and forklift will automatically start charging.
