Lithium batteries

Lithium batteries are the future of internal transport. Lead-acid batteries are still commonly used, but they have several disadvantages. Lead-acid batteries lose approximately 25% of their energy as heat during charging, which means they require regular maintenance. After around five charging cycles, the battery cells must be topped up with demineralised water. This is often overlooked, which can result in defective batteries.

What is a lithium battery?

A lithium battery uses lithium-ion technology, making it far more efficient than traditional batteries. The lithium-ion batteries supplied by Van der Spek Heftrucks are based on safe LiFePO4 cells. These cells are highly stable and non-flammable under normal use. In addition, these batteries achieve an efficiency of almost 100%, ensuring optimal use of energy.

Lithium battery: optimal safety and efficiency

One of the major advantages of lithium batteries is safety. They are housed in a fully enclosed steel container, making them robust and safe to use. Unlike lead-acid batteries, which require around 10 hours to charge, lithium batteries can be fully charged within approximately 2 hours.

Less downtime for your machines and increased productivity

Combined with the fact that lithium batteries are completely maintenance-free and have a long service life, they provide the ideal upgrade for your forklifts and internal transport equipment.
