Forklift lithium battery technological Innovation: Integration of Battery and Vehicle as the Trend

The lithium battery technology for forklifts is moving towards higher integration and intelligence:

• Compatible Design: Companies like Berlans have launched lithium iron phosphate battery packs that can directly replace lead-acid batteries. They adopt the original factory size 1:1 replication design, allowing for plug-and-play without modifying the forklift. The intelligent BMS system can simulate the original factory communication protocol to ensure perfect compatibility with the forklift controller.

• Lightweight Solution: By using new composite material enclosures and modular design, the weight of the lithium battery pack is reduced by more than 60% compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. For example, with a 48V/600Ah lead-acid battery, a 300Ah lithium iron phosphate battery can achieve the same range.

• Intelligent Management: Some high-end lithium battery forklifts are equipped with an Internet of Things monitoring system, which can monitor battery health status, remaining power, charging and discharging times, etc. through big data analysis to achieve preventive maintenance and optimized scheduling.
