In the high-pressure world of material handling, downtime equals lost revenue. OEMs and dealers must deliver not only reliable power solutions but smarter, more connected technologies that reduce disruptions, optimise fleets and keep operations running smoothly. That’s where motive.li batteries come in.
Intelligent Power That Keeps Operations Moving
Equipped with a powerful, advanced Battery Management System (BMS), motive.li lithium-ion batteries are built for optimal performance, safety, and longevity. Our IoT-enabled platform continuously monitors and analyses real-time metrics—to proactively detect potential issues before they lead to failure. Predictive maintenance also helps extend battery life and reduce unplanned service calls—because no one wants to deal with a failed battery during peak hours.
In a busy warehouse a single unexpected battery drop-off can bring an entire aisle of fulfilment to a halt. With motive.li, operators are not only alerted but, if necessary, forced through reduced functionality to recharge before a battery reaches critically low levels. This allows for a quick swap or recharge that avoids costly interruptions.
Fleet Visibility that Drives Smarter Decisions
For fleet managers, visibility is everything. Motive.li batteries provide real-time dashboards and automated alerts, enabling managers to optimise operations without being glued to screens. Our "managed by exception" system ensures you only get alerts when action is needed—no micromanaging required.
One logistics customer used our telematics to flag missed opportunity charging and pinpoint underutilised machines, as well as to identify driver training requirements. Rather than investing in additional forklifts, they rebalanced shift schedules and charging habits—maximising output with the fleet they already owned.
Over time, data also revealed certain batteries and machines were consistently overused while others remained idle—causing uneven wear. With cycle tracking and state of health reporting, the fleet was rotated more efficiently, extending equipment lifespan and reducing replacement costs.
Shift Smarter, Not Harder
Whether managing a single shift or running operations around the clock, motive.li’s in-house telemetry breaks down how batteries are actually used:
- Are some sitting idle for hours?
- Are others being drained too quickly?
- Are operators relying too heavily on a few machines?
- Are you buying batteries that are too big, or chargers that are too fast or too slow?
By analysing shift-based runtime, dwell time, and charge behaviour, fleet managers can allocate assets better, reduce charging congestion, and plan for opportunity charging without interfering with productivity.
Future-Ready Data Capabilities
We’re continually expanding the value of our insights. We understand that data tells an important story and our constantly evolving telematics helps foster data-driven decision making. Coming soon:
- Facility-wide energy usage tracking
- Improved ability to intelligently set AC power draw
- Consumption heatmaps by time of day
- Fully customisable data reports aligned to your KPIs, whether you care about runtime, maintenance costs, or energy efficiency.
Reliable Connectivity, Always-On Support
Motive.li’s telemetry operates over LTE CAT-M, delivering reliable long-range connectivity without relying on internal Wi-Fi. This ensures smooth operation even in large or complex warehouse layouts.
Our Over-the-air firmware updates ensure every battery gets the latest improvements—no technician callout needed.
A Smart Investment for Dealers and OEMs
In today’s competitive market, intelligent, analysis-driven battery systems are no longer optional—they’re essential infrastructure. Motive.li enables OEMs and dealers to offer smarter, longer-lasting, low-maintenance power solutions that boost customer satisfaction, improve fleet reliability, and unlock long-term value.
Smarter batteries don’t just power forklifts—they power better decisions.
