BYD forklifts are built around the battery. There is no need to swap out batteries to improve downtime VS Lead Acid Lead acid forklifts often require battery swapping to reduce the impact of charging and cool down time. Swapping batteries greatly increases the overall cost and requires dedicated...
Tried, tested, and trusted, lead-acid batteries have been with us since the middle of the 19th century. With an overall rating of 12 volts, they have six separate cells, each producing 2 volts. Crudely reduced to its basic components, each cell has a "spongy" lead metal electrode (negati...
Five years ago, Après bought a sailboat named Prey, equipped with brand-new lead-acid batteries. As those batteries neared the end of their lifespan, Après faced a choice: replace them with more of the same or upgrade to a modern lithium battery system. After careful consideration, he opt...
The stationary lead-acid battery is the type that dominates these applications. This presentation will give some guidelines for battery scientists who want to apply their technology to back-up power. The opinion of the author is that the advanced batteries that are in the frontline today are ...
It is widespread for most scrap yards to accept lead-acid batteries commonly found in cars and other vehicles. But if you have lithium and alkaline batteries from different devices and appliances, be sure to call up your scrap yard beforehand so you know if you can bring them in for scrap...
Boats typically use two different types of batteries, SLI (starting, lighting and ignition) and deep cycle batteries. Both SLI and deep cycle batteries are lead acid batteries, however, because of the way in which they are manufactured, a deep cycle battery will have 40% more cycles than an...
LiFePO4 batteries, a variant of lithium-ion technology, are designed to function without releasing significant amounts of gases during normal usage. This is a stark contrast to lead-acid batteries, which emit hydrogen and other potentially dangerous gases. This difference in chemistry greatly reduces...
As you may know, gasoline-powered cars have lead-acid batteries, while EVs use lithium-ion battery packs. These are the same batteries you can find in your cellphone or laptop. Compared to regular car batteries, these have greater energy density and tend to hold their charge longer. They ...
Batteries connected in any of these configurations must have the same battery chemistry. You can only connect lead-acid to lead-acid, LiFePO4 to LiFePO4, etc.How to Connect Batteries in SeriesTo connect batteries in series to increase the voltage you must first double-check that your batteries ...
