Save by switching to li-ion Technology

Why Switch to Lithium-Ion?

• Longer lifespan

  6x More Charge Cycles Than Lead-Acid

  Lithium-ion batteries have a life cycle of 3000 or more compared to just 500-1000 cycles in lead acid. Lithium-ion batteries generally last for several times the number of cycles as lead acid batteries.

• Opportunity charging

  Quick 10-Minute Power Boosts During Breaks

  While lead acid batteries always need a full charge cycle of 8-12 hours to keep the batteries chemistry in balance, LI-Ion batteries really like opportunity charging. They can be plugged in to the wall and charged for 10 Minutes during a break. This offers a unique way to work your shifts and reduce the overall Ah carried around in the truck.

• Lighter weight

  One-Third the Weight for Better Ergonomics

  Lithium-ion batteries offer high power density which cause lithium-ion batteries to be relatively small and light. A lithium battery is only one-third of the weight of a lead-acid battery. This offers manufacturers like EP the opportunity to develop the trucks with higher standards of ergonomics, bigger legroom and better performing trucks due to the smaller size and weight of the batteries.

• Higher efficiency

  95% Energy Utilisation vs. 80% for Lead-Acid

  Most lithium-ion batteries are 95 percent efficient or more, meaning that 95 percent or more of the energy stored in a lithium-ion battery is actually able to be used. Lead acid batteries see efficiencies closer to 80/ 85 percent.

• Faster charging

  2-3 Hours to Full Charge vs. 8+ Hours

  Higher efficiency batteries charge faster, improved efficiency means a higher effective battery capacity. Lithium batteries takes 2-3 hours to charge while lead-acid needs at least 8 hours. Lithium batteries high effective capacity reduces downtime in operations.

• Zero maintenance

  No Watering, No Upkeep Required

  While lead-acid batteries need special maintenance, Lithium batteries don’t require active maintenance to extend their service life. That largely eliminates the costs of battery up keeping, maintenance and infrastructure.
