Exide Technologies, a leading manufacturer of innovative and sustainable battery solutions for industrial and automotive applications, is pleased to announce the introduction of the groundbreaking Solition Material Handling battery. Featuring advanced lithium iron phosphate technology, this battery is designed to improve the reliability, safety and total cost of ownership (TCO) of material handling fleets. Its smart and sustainable electrification has the power to transform industrial operations.
Designed for demanding environments and applications (such as forklifts, self-guided vehicles, ports, ground support equipment such as airports and aerial work platforms), lithium-ion technology offers numerous benefits: it features exceptional charging efficiency, significantly longer service life, rock-solid reliability and twice the energy capacity of conventional lead-acid batteries.
These advancements potentially contribute (if implemented correctly) to a significantly lower total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to lead-acid batteries. Furthermore, with an impressive amp-hour charging efficiency of over 98%, businesses can achieve substantial energy savings and reduce their carbon footprint at the same time. Furthermore, the battery integrates seamlessly with opportunity charging systems, optimising energy use and ensuring maximum operational efficiency.
