Reduce your overall costs by choosing suitable battery types
Automated and laser-guided vehicles, forklift trucks and other types of vehicles are increasingly being equipped with electric motors instead of combustion engines. However, in order to fully exploit the advantages of this drive technology, users must decide on the best possible battery technology for their application. This decision is often complicated by the wide range of solutions on the market, the large variety of applications and the ongoing, rapid development of the technologies in question.
EnerSys has published a new white paper that provides operators of industrial trucks in warehouses and manufacturing facilities with valuable information on the many factors that influence the selection of traction batteries. The white paper focuses on the various lead-acid technologies available on the market. However, the advantages and disadvantages as well as the potential of lithium-ion batteries are also covered in detail.
The fundamental need to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO), which is a given for all users, runs as a common thread through the entire analysis and comparison of these technologies. This is a critical factor because the batteries have a significant impact on the overall costs for a variety of technical and operational reasons.
In addition, an innovative new solution called thin-panel pure-lead technology (TPPL) will be presented, which is already being used by companies such as Daimler
or large food retailers such as the Metro Group
is a practical and cost-saving alternative to conventional lead-acid batteries.
