With the rapid development of the modern logistics industry, electric forklifts, as the main force of material handling, are increasingly in demand. The power batteries of electric forklifts are mainly lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries, which have many shortcomings and deficiencies in environmental protection, power, life and work efficiency. Now, EFORK mainly introduces some knowledge that you need to know in advance to buy the lithium battery electric forklift:

1. Lithium battery specifications are usually configured with a capacity of about 2/3 of lead acid. For example, the electric pallet stacker  210AH is equipped with 150Ah lead-acid lithium battery,  but the battery life time is similar to that of the lead-acid. If you need to use it for a long time, you need to increase the capacity;

2. The operating temperature of lithium battery is -20 ℃ ~55 ℃, but the battery capacity (performance) declines at low temperatures. 100% above 0 ℃, 90% at 0 ℃, 80% at -10 ℃ and 70% at -20 ℃. Pay attention to increase the capacity when purchasing;

3. Lithium batteries with a capacity below 100A are not equipped with BMS (battery management system), and only the four-segment lamp voltmeter displays the power. Lithium battery with capacity above 100AH is equipped with BMS, with digital display instrument.

4. Lithium battery charger for electric forklift: charging time = battery capacity / charging current
