Battery solutions for optimal performance
Today, we offer three different battery types depending on the application and required utilization level (daytime operation, 1–3 shifts, or continuous 24/7 use):
- Lead-acid
- Lithium-ion (e.g. LiFePO₄ )
- NiCd
Lead-acid batteries are used for applications where operational stress is moderate, while lithium-ion and NiCd batteries are primarily used for extremely demanding operations.
Battery charging methods
To maximize availability, several battery charging strategies can be applied:
- Low-power charging – Recharge batteries when charge levels drop below a certain level.
- Opportunity charging” – Use short, frequent charging cycles for instance during brief pauses in operation to avoid disruption.
- Scheduled charging – Charge during off-peak hours or planned downtime.
- Battery swapping.
- Manual or automatic battery swap (manual or automatic) – Replace depleted batteries instantly to keep operations running continuously.
