In the field of modern logistics warehousing, forklift is a key handling equipment, and the performance of its power source is directly related to operation efficiency and operating costs. For a long time, lead-acid batteries occupy an important position in the field of forklift power, with the continuous innovation of technology, its application boundary is also continuing to expand, and various innovative application scenarios continue to emerge, bringing new changes and opportunities for forklift operation.

Review of the basic application of traditional lead-acid batteries in forklifts

The traditional lead-acid battery is widely used in the field of forklift, its technology is mature, the cost is relatively low, and has a certain cost-effective advantage. In conventional indoor storage forklift operations, such as e-commerce warehouses, food warehouses and other environments, the driving route of the forklift is relatively fixed, and the operation intensity is moderate. The lead-acid battery can provide a stable voltage output to meet the power needs of the forklift in the process of handling goods, whether it is the forklift, handling or short distance transportation, to ensure the smooth operation of the forklift.

In some small logistics distribution centers, due to limited funds, choosing lead-acid battery forklifts can effectively control procurement costs. Moreover, the maintenance of lead-acid batteries is relatively simple, and after basic training, the staff can carry out daily maintenance operations such as adding water and checking the electrolyte density, which makes it popular in the grassroots logistics operation scenario. However, the traditional lead-acid battery also has obvious shortcomings, and its low energy density leads to limited mileage of the forklift truck, long charging time, and usually takes several hours to be fully charged, which limits the continuous operation time of the forklift truck to a certain extent, reducing the work efficiency.

Efficient fast charging technology for innovative applications

In order to solve the problem of long charging time of lead-acid battery, innovative and efficient fast charging technology came into being. By optimizing the charging algorithm and improving the charging equipment, the charging time of the lead-acid battery is greatly shortened. For example, the intelligent fast charge system developed by some enterprises uses pulse charging technology, which can effectively reduce the polarization of the battery and improve the charging acceptance by intermittently applying pulse current during the charging process.

In large logistics parks, forklifts operate frequently, and the lead-acid battery forklifts with fast charging technology can be quickly charged during the gap between loading and unloading of forklifts. After the forklift driver completes a trip of cargo handling, the forklift is parked next to the fast charging pile, and the battery can be supplemented with a certain amount of electricity during a short rest time, ensuring that the forklift can continue to be invested in the next stage of operation, which greatly improves the use efficiency of the forklift, reduces the number of forklifts equipped, and reduces the operating cost. At the same time, the fast charging technology can also reduce the gas evolution of the battery, extend the service life of the battery, and further reduce the overall cost of use in the long run.

Cascade utilization of innovative applications to expand value

During the use of the lead-acid battery, with the increase of charge and discharge times, its capacity will gradually decay, and when the capacity is reduced to a certain extent, it can not meet the normal operation needs of the forklift. However, the battery is not completely scrapped at this time, and the innovative cascade utilization concept will give these "retired" batteries a new value.

After the decommissioned lead-acid batteries of forklift trucks are screened, tested and repaired, they can be applied to scenarios with relatively low energy density and power requirements, such as solar street lamp energy storage systems. During the day, solar panels convert solar energy into electricity and store it in a cascade of lead-acid batteries, and at night, the batteries power street lights. This application method not only reduces the cost of solar street energy storage system, but also realizes the recycling of resources and reduces environmental pollution.

In some small base stations in remote areas, the power supply is unstable, and forklift decommissioned lead-acid batteries are used as backup power. When the mains is interrupted, the battery can provide continuous power support for the base station equipment to ensure the normal operation of the communication network. Through the cascade utilization, the life cycle of the lead-acid battery is extended, creating additional economic benefits for the enterprise, and it is also in line with the concept of green environmental protection.

Integration of innovative applications with intelligent management systems

With advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data, lead-acid batteries are deeply integrated with intelligent management systems, bringing intelligent changes to forklift operations. During the operation of the forklift truck, the intelligent management system collects real-time data such as voltage, current, temperature, and remaining power of the lead-acid battery through the sensor, and uploates these data to the cloud platform.

The management personnel can check the status information of the forklift battery anytime and anywhere through the mobile phone or computer terminal. Once the battery is abnormal, such as too low power, too high temperature, charging failure, etc., the system will immediately issue an early warning message to remind the staff to deal with it in time. Through the analysis of the historical data of the battery, the remaining service life of the battery can be predicted, and the battery replacement plan can be arranged in advance to avoid affecting the operation of the forklift due to sudden battery failure.

In the forklift fleet management of large warehousing enterprises, the intelligent management system can rationally dispatch forklifts according to the battery status. Priority is given to forklifts with sufficient battery power and good performance to carry out important or long-distance handling tasks, and forklifts with low battery power are arranged to carry out short-distance and low-intensity operations around the warehouse, so as to achieve the balance optimization of forklift operation efficiency and battery life, and improve the intelligent level of the entire warehouse logistics operation.

Future outlook

The innovative application of forklift power lead-acid batteries has achieved remarkable results in improving forklift operation efficiency, reducing costs, and realizing resource recycling. With the continuous progress of science and technology, lead-acid batteries are expected to usher in more innovative breakthroughs in the field of forklifts in the future. In terms of materials science, the development of new lead-acid battery materials may further improve the energy density of batteries, extend the range, and narrow the gap with other advanced battery technologies such as lithium batteries. In the direction of intelligence, the integration of lead-acid batteries and intelligent management systems will be closer, to achieve a comprehensive and refined management of forklift operations, and to provide more solid power support for the efficient and green development of the logistics and warehousing industry.
