These advancements potentially (assuming the right application) contribute to a considerably lower total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to lead-acid batteries. Also, with an impressive battery charge/discharge efficiency, businesses can achieve substantial energy savings and reduce their carbon footprint simultaneously. Furthermore, the battery integrates seamlessly with energy recuperation systems, optimizing energy use and ensuring maximum operational efficiency.
Key features of the Solition Material Handling battery:
- Selection of cells offering long cycle-life (up to 4,000 cycles) in high discharge conditions.
- Latest Lithium iron phosphate prismatic cells for safe operations and optimized energy density
- Fast and opportunity charging capabilities.
- Modular architecture for best-fit factors to given dimensions and / or for an easy retrofit into existing battery trays.
- Cloud-based online services option for remote monitoring of key battery performance and proactive asset management.
- Design focused on safety and reliability; compliant with EN 1175:2020 standards.
- Increased serviceability based on system design and battery characteristics.
