Why The Lithium-ion Batteries Work Better For An Electric Pallet Jack

2022-12-17

A lithium-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses lithium and oxygen. They are commonly used in powered pallet jacks, lithium pallet trucks, buses, boats, and other vehicles. These batteries have been used for over 30 years. The benefit of lithium-ion batteries is that they provide high power and energy density. They also have a higher energy density than nickel-metal hydride or lead acid batteries.

Why do lithium-ion batteries work better for a powered pallet jack than lead acid batteries?


1. Lithium batteries have a higher energy density

Lithium-ion batteries are the best choice for an electric-powered pallet jack because the battery has a high energy density, energy density refers to the amount of energy a battery can hold. Lithium ion truck batteries deliver a lot of power while taking up little space. Which means you can use less of it to lift more weight. 


2. Charging more convenience

Lead-acid batteries must be reduced to 20% capacity before recharging to avoid shortened life. Charging takes several hours (up to eight hours), and requires a cooling time. Lithium ion truck batteries can be charged at any time, such as during a lunch break or between tasks. Operators do not need to drain the battery to prevent performance degradation or shortened life. Lithium-ion batteries do not require equalization charging.


3. Lithium battery maintenance costs are lower

Lead acid batteries are inexpensive and easy to maintain. They're also relatively safe—the collision damage that can cause them to fail is limited to a small area at the top of the battery, which makes it possible for a damaged battery to be quickly repaired. However, this safety feature has drawbacks: lead acid batteries aren't very durable and will deteriorate if you don't regularly replace them. Although Lithium batteries cost more than lead acid or other batteries, they'll last longer and require less maintenance. Lithium-ion batteries require little maintenance as they don't require water to be added; the connectors, cables, and wires need to be repaired from time to time.


4. Lithium-ion batteries are light in weight.

Lithium-ion batteries are the lightest of all battery types. They're also the most powerful, making them ideal for powered pallet jacks like this. They can handle much more than other types of batteries—they even weigh less than lead-acid batteries!


5. Lithium-ion batteries are safety

Lead-acid batteries may produce acid spills and toxic fumes. Charging can produce explosive gases, so you need a separate, well-ventilated charging room. Because charge cycles and post-charge cool-down times can last 16 hours, operators may have to replace batteries to keep working, increasing the risk of acid spills. Lithium ion truck batteries do not suffer from these problems because they are sealed and will not spill. Additionally, they can be recharged opportunistically, reducing the need for battery replacement. 


6. Lithium batteries are more environmentally friendly

Besides being environmentally friendly and cost-effective over time, lithium-ion batteries have another advantage: lithium ions have fewer safety concerns because they don't react with air as readily as other substances, and they're usually considered non-toxic.

Conclusion

The lithium-ion battery is a better option for the powered pallet jack. It's lightweight, powerful, and requires less maintenance than lead-acid batteries. If you are looking for a lithium battery pallet truck that can work in any condition and provide years of service, the lithium-ion battery is a must-have!
