Benefits of Lithium-Ion
Our forklift maintenance packages are designed to give you peace of mind, ensuring your equipment stays in excellent condition. With regular servicing, we help prevent costly breakdowns and extend the lifespan of your forklifts. Our services include:
Longer Battery Life
Lithium-Ion batteries generally last several times the number of cycles as traditional lead-acid batteries, leading to a longer effective lifespan for Lithium-Ion products. Cycles are also counted in % of charge rather than one cycle every time you connect the battery to the charger. This means: 10% charge is 1/10 of a cycle with a Li-Ion battery, while a 10% charge of a lead-acid battery is 1 full cycle.
Faster Charging
Faster charging time and improved efficiency mean a higher effective battery capacity. Lithium batteries take 2-3 hours to charge compared to a lead-acid battery which needs 8 hours. Lithium batteries high effective capacity reduces downtime in warehouse duties.
Higher Efficiency
Most Lithium-Ion batteries are 95% efficient or more, meaning that 95% or more of the energy stored in a Lithium-Ion battery can be used. Lead-acid batteries on the other hand see efficiencies closer to 80 to 85%.
Longer Battery Life
Lighter Weight
ECO Friendly
Lithium-Ion is eco-friendly and gives off no gas so it is a much cleaner technology and is safer for the environment than lead-acid.
Is Lithium-Ion the right choice for me?
At Pegasus Materials Handling, we offer a comprehensive range of lithium-ion-powered equipment, designed for efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. Our range includes electric forklifts, pallet trucks, pallet stackers, reach trucks, order pickers, and tow tractors, all benefiting from faster charging, longer run times, and lower maintenance costs.
While lead-acid batteries need special maintenance, Lithium batteries don’t require active maintenance to extend their service life, largely eliminating the costs of battery upkeep, maintenance and infrastructure.
