Which Forklift Models and Applications Are Best Suited for This Battery?

The 24V 280Ah LiFePO4 battery is compatible with a wide range of electric forklifts, pallet jacks, and material handling equipment. It is ideal for warehouses, manufacturing plants, logistics centers, and outdoor industrial environments that demand reliable, high-performance power with minimal maintenance.

Why Is LiFePO4 Chemistry Preferred Over Lead-Acid Batteries for Forklifts?

LiFePO4 batteries provide superior thermal stability and safety, reducing risks of thermal runaway and acid leaks common in lead-acid batteries. They offer 3 to 6 times longer cycle life, faster charging, and consistent voltage output, improving forklift uptime and reducing total cost of ownership. Additionally, LiFePO4 batteries are maintenance-free and environmentally friendly.

How Does the Battery Management System (BMS) Improve Safety and Longevity?

The integrated BMS continuously monitors cell voltages, temperatures, and current to prevent overcharge, over-discharge, short circuits, and overheating. It balances cells to maximize capacity and lifespan. Advanced BMS features include cloud monitoring and 4G connectivity for real-time diagnostics and predictive maintenance, reducing unexpected failures.

When Should Fleet Operators Consider Upgrading to a 24V 280Ah LiFePO4 Battery?

Operators should upgrade when lead-acid batteries exhibit reduced runtime, frequent maintenance needs, or when expanding fleet operations. The 24V 280Ah LiFePO4 battery’s long cycle life, fast charging, and intelligent monitoring offer significant operational and cost advantages.

Where Is the Ideal Environment for Operating and Storing the Battery?

Optimal performance occurs in environments with ambient temperatures between -20°C and 60°C. The battery’s IP54 to IP65 rated enclosure protects against dust and moisture, suitable for indoor and outdoor industrial settings. Storage in dry, temperature-controlled areas maximizes lifespan.

Does the Battery Support Fast Charging and High Discharge Rates?

Yes, it supports continuous discharge currents of 160A and peak discharge currents up to 800A for short bursts, meeting the high power demands of forklift operations. The battery also supports fast charging at 200A, minimizing downtime during shift changes.

Has Heated Battery Integrated Advanced Features in This Forklift Battery?

Heated Battery incorporates premium LiFePO4 cells with a smart BMS, ensuring safety, reliability, and long service life. Optional features include real-time cloud monitoring, 4G connectivity, and customizable communication protocols.
