As the power core of Electric Rider Pallet Truck, the selection of industrial batteries directly affects the working efficiency, battery life and overall operating costs of the equipment. Battery capacity is the key factor in determining battery life. The larger the capacity, the longer the working time after a single charge. When selecting battery capacity, it is necessary to weigh it according to the actual operating needs to ensure that the battery life matches the operating intensity.

Voltage level is another important factor affecting the power performance of the truck. Common voltages include 24V, 48V and 80V. The higher the voltage, the greater the output power of the motor, and the stronger the acceleration performance, climbing ability and load capacity of the truck. When purchasing batteries, the appropriate voltage level should be selected according to the load requirements and operating environment of the truck to ensure the efficient operation of the equipment.

The choice of battery type also has a profound impact on the performance of the truck. Traditional lead-acid batteries have low costs, mature technology, and high recycling rates, but they are heavy, which may affect the flexibility of the vehicle. At the same time, they take a long time to charge and require regular maintenance, such as adding electrolyte and equalizing charging. After long-term use, lead-acid batteries are prone to capacity decay due to memory effect and sulfidation, thereby reducing endurance. In contrast, although lithium-ion batteries have a higher initial cost, they have the advantages of high energy density, small size, light weight, support for fast charging, no memory effect, and no maintenance. The discharge curve of lithium batteries is smoother, the capacity decay is smaller during the life cycle, and the number of cycles can reach more than 3,000 times, which can provide more lasting and stable endurance performance.

Lead-acid batteries usually take 8-10 hours to fully charge, while lithium-ion batteries support 1-2 hours of fast charging, which can greatly reduce the downtime of equipment and improve utilization. In addition, it is recommended that the discharge depth of lead-acid batteries be controlled within 50% to extend their service life. The actual available capacity is only half of the nominal capacity; while lithium batteries can be deeply discharged to 80%-90%, with longer effective endurance and no significant impact on battery life. Therefore, in scenarios where high-efficiency operations are required, lithium batteries have more advantages in terms of fast charging and deep discharge capabilities.

Temperature adaptability is the key to stable operation of batteries in special environments. In high-temperature environments, lead-acid batteries are prone to water loss due to electrolyte evaporation, and cooling measures need to be strengthened; lithium batteries have relatively good high-temperature resistance, but still need to rely on battery management systems for protection. In low-temperature environments, the capacity of lead-acid batteries may drop by 30%-50%, seriously affecting endurance; while lithium batteries can still maintain more than 70% of their capacity at a low temperature of -20°C, making them more suitable for low-temperature operating environments such as cold chain warehouses.
