How does the Battery Management System (BMS) enhance safety and performance?
The BMS continuously monitors cell voltages, current, temperature, and state of charge to prevent overcharge, over-discharge, short circuits, and overheating. It balances cell voltages to maximize usable capacity and extend battery life. The system supports remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and operational risks.
Why is LiFePO4 chemistry preferred for forklift batteries?
LiFePO4 chemistry offers superior thermal stability, long cycle life exceeding 4000 cycles at 70-80% depth of discharge, and high energy density. It maintains stable voltage output, resists thermal runaway, and is environmentally friendly. Compared to lead-acid batteries, it is lighter, charges faster, and requires less maintenance.
What are the typical applications for a 48V 420Ah LiFePO4 battery?
Ideal for electric forklifts, warehouse vehicles, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and other industrial equipment requiring reliable, high-capacity power with extended runtime and fast recharge capabilities.
How does the battery’s design contribute to durability and reliability?
The battery’s metal casing with IP65 rating protects against dust and water ingress, ensuring durability in harsh industrial environments. Its modular design and compact form factor facilitate easy installation and scalability. Weight is optimized (~280-300 kg) for forklift compatibility.
What are the charging and discharging specifications?
The battery uses a CC/CV charging profile with a maximum charge voltage of 58.4V and supports continuous charge currents up to 210A (ideal 80A). It delivers continuous discharge currents of 350A and peak discharge currents of 500A for 30 seconds and 700A for 2 seconds. Operating temperature ranges from -20°C to 60°C for discharge and 0°C to 55°C for charging.
