Lithium-ion Battery Benefits
Lower Operating Costs
Lithium-ion forklifts eliminate fuel expenses and reduce maintenance needs, resulting in a significantly lower total cost of ownership over time.
Fast Charging & Long Life
They charge quickly—often in 1-2 hours—and support opportunity charging. Plus, they offer 3,000+ charge cycles, far outlasting lead-acid batteries.
Zero Emissions & Quiet Operation
With no tailpipe emissions and quiet electric motors, lithium forklifts are ideal for indoor use and environmentally sensitive areas.
Low Maintenance
No engine oil, filters, or transmission to worry about. Maintenance is minimal and downtime is greatly reduced.
Smart Integration
Advanced battery management systems (BMS) and IoT readiness make them suitable for warehouse automation and intelligent fleet management.
Tried, Tested, and Proven in Real Operations
In a recent trial, we replaced the battery of a used Toyota 7FB15 forklift with our EP Energy lithium-ion battery. After rigorous expert-led testing, the result was clear:
no compromise to performance, drive quality, or operating conditions.
Our lithium-ion technology delivers more than just power—it transforms the way your fleet operates:
🔋 Opportunity charging: Keep your forklifts running across multi-shift operations with quick top-ups during breaks.
🔧 No regular maintenance: Unlike lead-acid batteries,there's no watering, cleaning, or equalizing required.
📊 Smart battery management (BMS): Gain real-time insights into battery health and performance with remote diagnostics via Telematics.
