The battery features advanced lithium iron phosphate technology
Exide Technologies, a provider of battery solutions for automotive and industrial applications, has announced the introduction of the Solition Material Handling battery.
Featuring advanced lithium iron phosphate technology, this battery is engineered to enhance reliability, safety, and total cost of ownership for material handling fleets.
Its smart and sustainable electrification has the power to transform industrial operations, according to Exide.
Tailored for demanding environments and applications – such as forklifts, automated guided vehicles, ports, ground support equipment, and lifting platforms – lithium-ion technology offers numerous benefits.
It features exceptional charging efficiency, a significantly extended lifespan, robust reliability, and double the capacity of conventional lead-acid batteries.
These advancements potentially contribute to a considerably lower total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to lead-acid batteries.
Also, with an impressive ampere-hour charge efficiency of over 98%, businesses can achieve substantial energy savings and reduce their carbon footprint simultaneously.
Furthermore, the battery integrates with energy recuperation systems, optimising energy use and ensuring maximum operational efficiency.
Exide Senior Business Director, Magnus Ohlsson, said: "Its performance, reliability, and sustainability make it the perfect choice for businesses seeking to enhance their productivity and reduce their environmental impact.
"By integrating advanced lithium-ion technology, we are setting the standard for material handling solutions.
"We are committed to innovation and sustainability; it drives us to provide battery and energy storage solutions that exceed the evolving, modern needs of our customers while contributing to a greener future."
