How lithium ion electric forklift shortens charging time in busy logistics sites

In recent years, the rapid development of e-commerce and retail industries has put forward higher requirements for the operation efficiency of busy logistics sites. As the core handling equipment in warehousing and distribution links, electric forklifts have become the key to affecting the turnover efficiency of goods, and their charging time has always been a major pain point for many logistics operators. Traditional lead-acid electric forklifts usually need 8 to 10 hours of slow charging, and also need a long cooling time after charging, which often requires enterprises to prepare multiple forklifts for rotation, occupying extra storage space and increasing operation costs.

The popularization of lithium ion electric forklifts has effectively solved this problem. First of all, the lithium battery material itself has high charge and discharge efficiency, which can support stable high-current fast charging without obvious damage to the battery life under the protection of a mature battery management system. Different from lead-acid batteries that cannot be charged intermittently for a long time, lithium batteries support opportunity charging, which means that operators can use the 10 to 30 minute gap between shift changes, goods sorting pauses or vehicle loading and unloading intervals to charge the forklift nearby, without reserving a separate long period of time for charging, which greatly reduces the non-operation time of the equipment.

Jianshu New Energy has conducted long-term research on lithium battery performance optimization for forklift application scenarios, continuously adjusting the battery formula and charge control logic, providing stable technical support for the realization of fast charging function of lithium ion electric forklifts, and ensuring that the battery can maintain stable performance even after long-term fast charging cycles.

In actual operation, the layout of supporting charging facilities can also further shorten the invalid time in the charging process. Logistics sites can arrange small fast charging piles near common operation areas such as cargo platforms, sorting ports and storage areas, so that forklift operators do not need to drive the forklift to a special charging area far away from the operation site, saving the round-trip driving time.

BYD Forklift has applied mature lithium ion fast charging technology to its full series of electric forklift products, which can realize 30% to 80% charge in only 1 hour under conventional fast charging mode, helping many large logistics enterprises effectively cut down the non-operation time caused by charging, and improving the overall operation efficiency of the site in actual use cases.

It should be noted that to give full play to the fast charging advantage of lithium ion electric forklifts, it is necessary to formulate a reasonable charging management system according to the actual operation rhythm of the site, arrange the charging time in a scattered way during the operation gap as far as possible, and avoid long-time high-power charging in high temperature environment, so as to extend the service life of the battery while ensuring the operation efficiency.
