Lithium ion forklift high voltage vs low voltage
High voltage lithium battery
1. Shared automotive components: In the lithium-ion electrification of electric forklifts, automotive spare parts can be used to reduce costs.
2. Infrastructure for shared cars: The charging stations of cars and forklifts were originally independent charging devices. If both parties achieve the same voltage, the charging stations can be freely shared.
3. Use high voltage and low current components: High voltage and low current components require lower manufacturing accuracy, longer service life, and lower failure rates. The current procurement cost of low voltage and high current components is higher. The supply chain of electronic components in the electric vehicle industry is more mature, with lower procurement costs and a wider range of channels for acquisition.
4. High voltage energy conversion is more efficient: usually, high voltage energy transmission is more efficient and has a higher specific power. According to researchers of high-voltage forklifts, the energy conversion of high-voltage lithium-ion forklifts can be increased by more than 15%, making them more energy-efficient.
5. Transfer and use of automotive technology: The three electrical systems of automobiles, including lithium iron phosphate batteries, permanent magnet synchronous motors, and integrated multifunctional controllers, are used on forklifts to achieve high efficiency, energy conservation, precise control, high power density, and maintenance free features.
6. High voltage lithium-ion forklifts have more power: It is generally believed that lithium-ion forklifts with a main output of 48V have a slight deficiency in replacing fuel powered forklifts in terms of strong power, especially for beer drinks, yard loading and unloading, and the paper industry, where fuel powered forklifts have more power. Boosting high-voltage lithium batteries can bring stronger power.
7. Faster charging speed: High voltage lithium batteries have a shorter charging time, and in extreme cases, the battery can be fully charged in 15 minutes.
Low voltage lithium battery
1. The voltage of lithium batteries is the same as that of lead-acid batteries, which can be directly switched, which is beneficial for battery replacement in existing production lines and after-sales markets.
A voltage of 2.48V or 80V has an advantage in safety compared to a high voltage of 300V.
3. Low voltage and high current components are commonly used components in forklifts.
4. Seamless switching, utilizing existing production lines and supply chains

5.48V and 80V lithium batteries are equipped with large capacity batteries, which can fully meet the multi shift operations in the warehousing process.
