Green Cubes has launched new modular lithium ion (li-ion) batteries that can be dropped into standard materials handling equipment’s lead acid battery compartments.

The new Lithium SAFEFlex Plus motive power lithium batteries also meet standard forklift battery weight requirements. 

“With an enhanced feature set developed based on 10 years of experience with the groundbreaking lithium SAFEFlex product line, Lithium SAFEFlex Plus is a comprehensive battery solution designed to meet the cost, performance, efficiency and durability requirements of the rugged warehouse environment,” says Green Cubes director of marketing Robin Schneider. 

“The Lithium SAFEFlex Plus drop-in replacement batteries make upgrading from lead acid to lithium simple and the modular design improves serviceability and facilitates family safety certifications.”

The battery performs safely and efficiently in extreme low temperature cold storage operations. 

Schneider says additional features include modular design with individual cell monitoring, distributed BMS intelligence and data logging, advanced Wi-Fi connectivity and network security protocols. 

Charge ports or single-point battery connection replicates today’s lead acid without special truck or charger modifications.

Lithium SAFEFlex PLUS motive power lithium batteries will be available for shipment in 36 V and 48 V models in the second half of the year.
