Industrial Equipment
Any business operating vehicles or machinery within the industrial industry understands the need to have that equipment operating at the highest efficiency with little to no downtime. Most industrial machines require batteries to operate their electrical components, and by replacing lead-acid batteries with lithium batteries, the operation and regular maintenance requirements of industrial equipment can be improved.
How Can Lithium Batteries Improve Industrial Equipment?
Lithium batteries are able to deliver everything a business needs when working with industrial equipment. With lithium batteries, you can lift and move heavier loads to any place without worrying about whether you have the energy to do so.
Although the list of benefits of lithium batteries is long, it’s important to remember that lithium batteries still only power the electrical components of industrial machinery. They are not intended or capable of powering entire vehicles or machines. That being said, the benefits of lithium batteries definitely outweigh their initial expense.
Long Lifespan
Lithium iron phosphate batteries have a lifespan of up to 5000 cycles at 80 percent depth of discharge without a decrease in performance. In comparison, the average lifespan of a lead-acid battery is just two years.
Ensures Sustainability
Although lithium battery systems have higher initial costs, their longevity makes the investment worth it in the long run. Lithium batteries don’t require frequent repairs and boast an average lifespan of 10-15 years.
Ensures Reliable Performance
Lithium battery systems in industrial applications are designed to handle the maximum load for machinery, including complex devices that have specific current requirements. The high load capacity of these batteries ensures that businesses can rely on them to continue to perform under different levels of power stresses such as outages and surges.
Low Maintenance
Unlike lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries don’t require active maintenance to extend their service life. In addition, they don’t show signs of effects due to low self-discharge, meaning you can store them for longer than lead-acid batteries.
Lightweight
Since lithium batteries provide a high-power density, they happen to be relatively small and light, making them ideal for those concerned about battery size and weight. Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries provide the same energy with at least half the mass.
High Efficiency
Lithium iron phosphate batteries charge faster and discharge faster than lead-acid batteries, making them a great fit for all sorts of industrial applications. Overall, fast charging allows businesses to reduce the amount of downtime and increase their efficiency.
Temperature-Tolerant
In many industrial applications, extreme temperatures must be considered, and batteries are commonly a concern. Unlike lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries are temperature-tolerant and can operate in a wide range of temperatures, making them perfect for extreme temperature environments.
