Innovative and Efficient, Longer Life, Lithium-ion Batteries
Innovative technologies to meet our customer’s needs.
Next to the more conventional internal combustion engine forklift trucks and lead-acid battery forklift trucks, Hyster is continuously investing in new innovative technologies to meet the needs of our customers.
The use of Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries is increasing rapidly in the Material Handling Equipment market. Through this long life battery technology, particularly efficient in intermittent use multi-shift operations, Hyster® Li-ion solutions can lower your overall cost of ownership.
Thanks to the opportunity and fast charging capability, Li-ion batteries eliminate the battery exchange process. Charging points can be conveniently located close to the work area.
Li-ion batteries also require less maintenance and the sealed unit design means no spills and emissions. Their higher energy efficiency can lead to up to 30% savings in energy costs compared to lead acid, contributing towards payback times as low as two or three years in appropriate applications.
Benefits of Li-ion:
- Longer life with over 3750 cycles (at 80% depth of discharge)
- Excellent charging capabilities (up to 50% charge in 30 min)
- No battery exchange process needed
- Maintenance and emission free
- Reduced CO2 footprint
