Exide forklift battery
An Exide forklift battery is a type of industrial lead-acid or lithium-ion battery specifically designed for electric forklifts and material handling equipment. Exide is a well-established battery manufacturer known for producing high-performance and durable batteries for various applications, including motive power (which refers to powering electric vehicles like forklifts).
Types of Exide Forklift Batteries:
Lead-Acid Batteries (Flooded or Sealed):
Most common in older or budget-conscious forklift operations.
Require regular maintenance (checking water levels, cleaning terminals).
Offer good performance but are heavier and take longer to charge.
Tubular Plate Batteries:
A type of lead-acid battery with long life and deep discharge capabilities.
Better suited for heavy-duty, multi-shift forklift use.
Exide’s EPzS and EPI series are examples of tubular batteries.
Gel and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat):
Maintenance-free lead-acid batteries.
Suitable for clean environments or light-duty use.
Lithium-Ion Batteries:
Newer technology; more efficient and longer-lasting.
Require little to no maintenance.
Faster charging, higher energy density, and opportunity charging.
Higher upfront cost but lower total cost of ownership over time.
