JAC Electric Forklift: Lithium vs Lead Acid Battery Technology
The JAC Electric Forklift range from Contract Plant is redefining efficiency and reliability in material handling. These electric forklifts are readily available with no wait times, supported by a range of tailored service packages. Choose from Lead Acid models (1.5T – 6T) or Lithium-ion models (1.5T – 2.5T), each designed for specific performance needs and work environments.
Lead Acid Battery Technology (1.5T – 6T)
A proven, cost-effective choice, Lead Acid batteries use lead plates submerged in electrolyte. Operating typically at 24V – 80V, they deliver dependable power for warehouses, factories, and logistics hubs. Regular maintenance, including watering and equalising, supports a cycle life of 800 – 1,200 cycles. Charging takes 8 – 10 hours, making these forklifts ideal for single-shift or lower-intensity operations.
Lithium-Ion Battery Technology (1.5T – 2.5T)
Lithium-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries offer faster charging, higher energy density, and zero maintenance. With 1 – 2 hour recharge times and opportunity charging, they suit multi-shift or continuous operations. Their integrated Battery Management System (BMS) safeguards against overcharging and overheating. Cycle life typically exceeds 2,000 cycles, reducing long-term operational costs.
Both battery types power the JAC Electric Forklift range to deliver clean, quiet, and efficient performance for modern fleets.
