Traction batteries are specialized rechargeable batteries designed to provide power for electric vehicles (EVs), industrial forklifts, golf carts, and other mobile equipment. These batteries are built to deliver high energy output over extended periods, supporting consistent performance under demanding working conditions. Unlike standard batteries, traction batteries are engineered for deep-cycle use, meaning they can be discharged and recharged repeatedly without significant degradation. Common types include lead-acid, lithium-ion, and nickel-metal hydride batteries, with lithium-ion becoming increasingly popular due to its longer lifespan, higher energy density, and faster charging capabilities. The choice of traction battery significantly impacts the efficiency, range, and reliability of electric-powered systems.
