These material-handling devices are all battery-operated type, and when you have to change a new battery, When handling materials, the device batteries need to be reliable and long-lasting. But with so many options out there, how do you know what is the right choice for your specific needs? That’s why we’ve outlined seven things you should think about when buying material-handling battery devices. To help you make the best decision, we’ll also discuss other considerations such as ROI, battery efficiency, and maintenance as well. Keep reading to learn more!
What is your return on investment (ROI)?
When investing in any product, you need to understand the return on investment (ROI) behind it. With material handling devices, the return on investment is tied to the device’s overall lifespan. It’s important to understand that device components like the battery are prone to wear and tear over time. So the lifespan of your current battery may not be as long as it seems. When calculating ROI, consider the total cost of the battery device. Then, divide that cost by the number of days or years it’s estimated to last. This will help you determine if swapping out the current battery for a new one is worth it. Evoke Energy considers this when developing battery packs for forklifts from different brands.Â
How much energy does your current battery device use?
In addition to lifespan, you should also consider the amount of energy the current battery uses. There are different options available with different amounts of power. So, you’ll want to be sure you find the right fit for your operations. You’ll also need to consider how many hours per day your operation will run. This will help you determine how much energy the device will need at full capacity. When looking at these numbers, make sure to factor in the battery device’s charging time. You don’t want to be stuck waiting for a fully charged battery during peak times! This information will help you determine the right amount of battery power for your specific needs. It will also help you determine if you need to upgrade to a more efficient model.
The high-rate lithium cells from Evoke could deep cycle no less than 3000 times, which means you need not charge it before the capacity is lower than 20%.
Does it have a high-efficiency rating?
Batteries can be measured for their capacity. That’s the amount of energy it can hold at one time. It can also be measured for its efficiency. In other words, efficiency refers to the amount of power it will release for every unit of current. It also considers the time it takes to charge. In terms of efficiency, you’ll want to look for a model that exceeds 80%. While this may not seem like a lot, it can make a huge difference in your operations. For example, if your battery device uses 100 amps, it will take a certain length of time to charge. But if it has an efficiency rating of 80%, it will take less time to charge.
What’s the battery’s expected lifespan?
As we mentioned above, the battery’s lifespan is important to consider. It will help you understand how long it may last under normal operation. If your current unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, you’ll want to consider upgrading to a new battery device. This will help prevent unexpected shutdowns or short-circuiting. When calculating the lifespan of a new device, consider the amount of energy it will use. This will help you predict how long it will take to charge. It will also help predict when it will need to be replaced. as we mentioned above, the LPF cells from Evoke could be recharged no less than 3000 times, which means nearly 10 years.
What is the estimated operating cost per day?
Once you’ve considered the above, you’ll want to calculate the estimated operating cost per day. This will help determine the total cost of ownership for the new device. You’ll want to consider the initial purchase cost of the battery device. Then, you’ll need to factor in the cost of replacing it after a certain period of time. Depending on the model, you can expect to replace the battery every 5-10 years. You’ll also want to consider the cost of charging the battery. While the cost of a battery device can be significant, it’s something you should factor into your business plan. It will help you plan for the financial strain of a new device. It will also help you determine if it’s an investment worth making.
Does it have a fast charging feature?
When buying new battery devices, you may also want to consider the charging speed. You’ll want to look for models that have a quick charging feature. When calculating the charging time, be sure to factor in the time it will take to drain the battery device. This information will help you plan for unexpected shutdowns. It will also help you schedule tasks to ensure your operation doesn’t come to a grinding halt.
Some of our LiFePO4 cells support fast charging at 1C, 2C, and 3C with the advanced BMS technology, however, we do not suggest you use fast charging frequently.
Are there any additional benefits?
Finally, you should also consider any additional benefits the battery device provides. There are models that provide more than just the ability to operate a machine. Some models can provide information about the battery’s health and charging status.Â
There are also models that provide two-way communication between the device and the user. This feature will help you remotely monitor the device and receive alerts if there is a problem. While these features may not be necessary, they can help create a more efficient and productive operation. So, it’s worth considering devices with these features.
Conclusion
When handling materials, the device batteries need to be reliable and long-lasting. But with so many options out there, how do you know what is the right choice for your specific needs? That’s why we’ve outlined seven things you should think about when buying material-handling battery devices.Â
To help you make the best decision, we’ll also discuss other considerations such as ROI, battery efficiency, and maintenance as well. Keep reading to learn more! This guide has all the information, you need to find the best material-handling battery device for your operation. By considering the above factors, you’ll be able to find a model that’s efficient, long-lasting, and easy to operate.
Why Buy lithium batteries for forklift trucks from Evoke.
All Evoke's rechargeable fork lift truck batteries are assembled from the A-Class high-grade lithium iron phosphate cells and intelligent BMS, Opposit to the lead-acid battery and the traditional crude oil engine, the LiFePO4 battery owns the below advantages;- The lifespan is designed to be recharged more than 3,000 times, that is the service life is no less than 10 years if charged one time per day;
- The recharging time is much shorter than a traditional lead-acid battery, only 2-3 hours to finish, so as to improve the efficiency of the forklift;
- The LFP battery-operated forklift is eco-friendly, It won't fill your warehouse with exhaust smoke from the diesel engine;
