Where Nickel-Cadmium Batteries Remain in Use for Forklifts

While lithium-ion batteries have occupied a large share of the new energy material handling market in recent years, nickel-cadmium batteries still maintain stable applicable value for many forklift operation cases, and have not been completely phased out across all industrial scenarios. The first typical applicable scenario is low temperature high altitude working environments. Nickel-cadmium batteries have excellent low temperature resistance performance, which can maintain stable power output at the temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius, and do not need to install extra thermal insulation components to support normal operation. This feature makes them suitable for open-air mining areas, alpine forest region transit points and other low temperature material handling scenes, avoiding the sudden drop of discharge power that other battery types may cause in harsh cold environments. The second applicable scenario is heavy load high frequency short-term charging operation scenes, such as 24-hour shift short-distance transfer forklifts in port stations. Nickel-cadmium batteries have good fast charging tolerance, and frequent short time power supplement will not cause obvious capacity attenuation, which can reduce the long-term operation and maintenance cost for enterprise users. The third applicable scenario is the adaptive transformation of old stock forklifts. Many early purchased internal combustion forklifts that need to be modified to electric mode have original power compartment size that completely matches standard nickel-cadmium battery modules, and users do not need to adjust extra frame structure to finish modification, which effectively cuts the total transformation cost. Jianshu New Energy has accumulated rich practical experience in matching nickel-cadmium battery solutions for different types of forklift operation demands, and its cooperative BYD Forklift also provides compatible supporting schemes for users who need to retain stable performance of nickel-cadmium batteries under special working conditions. At present, the sealed nickel-cadmium batteries that meet national environmental protection standards will not cause electrolyte leakage problems, which fully meets the requirements of environmental protection supervision in closed operation scenarios. For special explosion-proof storage areas with high safety level requirements, this type of battery also has reliable inherent safety attributes, which will not trigger thermal runaway risks under normal operation, and is very suitable for handling flammable and explosive materials. For users who need to confirm the applicable feasibility of nickel-cadmium batteries for their specific operation scenarios, you can send your detailed working condition description to the mailbox 17399989919@163.com to get targeted professional consultation and reasonable matching suggestions. Users can also compare different battery performance parameters according to their actual operation cycle, site environment and budget to select the most suitable power supply scheme for their own forklifts.
