Lithium ion has several advantages over lead acid technology.
No topping up needed.
Opportunist charging support.
Fully charges in 1 hour.
Spare battery not required for multishift operation so no downtime exchanging a flat battery.
Less energy required for charging.
Lithium Ion is new technology in the forklift world & the signs are very promising that lead acid batteries days look numbered.
in belguim MOL build a terminal tractor fo a NIKE plant it is electically powerd with two batteries i belief lithium ion pack
Can't really see this taking off, battery type is specific to application and in a forklift the lithium ion battery really doesn't have anything extra to offer a forklift over a lead acid battery.
Granted they have a higher power density but light weight is not an advantage in a conventional truck as the weight has to be made up else where. Plus purchase costs would be huge compared to a lead acid battery pack
Lead acid just ticks to many boxes to make this viable
Not seen or heard of a counterbalance yet with lithium ion batteries, I do know BT / Toyota offer 4 of it's smaller indoor models with a lithium ion package.
I know Jungheinrich also offer a PPT with lithium ion.
I have heard from a good source that a forklift manufacturer is testing lithium ion on a reach truck BUT there is a compromise between the size of the lithium ion part inside the battery & the extra weight that has to be placed in the bottom of battery tank to maintain the trucks stability & capacity at height.
