Advantages of Using Lithium Forklift Battery in Cold Storage warehouses

Carefully storing perishable products like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, raw material etc in refrigerators and warehouses at adequate temperature is necessary during their supply chain process. For storing and preserving these products, cold environments are often ideal. But the downside is that it can strain the batteries of the forklift and affect its performance. What could be the best choice for cold storage in that regard? Is it better to make use of lithium-ion forklift batteries or lead acid batteries?

Temperature and power level of lead acid batteries are directly proportional. The power of lead acid batteries tends to decrease with temperature. These batteries work at an efficiency of 75% when the temperature is 21 degree Celsius. The efficiency is seen to plunge to 56% at 12 degree Celsius. Similarly at 17 degree Celsius, the efficiency is 45%.

What’s even more challenging is the charging of lead-acid batteries that’s been used in cold storage warehouses. In order to change or recharge lead acid batteries, first the forklift has to be moved out of? the cold temperature. Doing so will obviously bring down its availability and condensations happen in turn which is likely to shorten the lifespan of the forklift and its parts as well.?

What could be a solution for this? It’s Lithium-ion batteries. Even though while calculating the upfront cost of these batteries, it will be slightly on the higher end, you’re sure to get the return on investment due to its long lifespan as well as greater efficiency of the forklift.
