BSLBATT lithium forklift batteries support Crown forklift refrigerated applications

Huizhou, China - BSL New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (Brand: BSLBATT® ), High-tech company that designs and manufactures lithium-ion batteries that are 50% more efficient than similar products on the market for industrial forklifts. With a deployment capacity of approximately 6.6 megawatt-hours (MWh), Crown has partnered with PF, one of Europe's largest cold storage customers, to launch the largest fleet of lithium-battery-powered Crown forklifts.).

"Lithium-battery systems eliminate the need for costly and time-consuming maintenance and provide longer life at extreme temperatures, particularly in cold environments. The fleet will run longer, use less power, and be more efficient as the company converts all existing and future material handling equipment to lithium batteries."

It has 30 facilities in Italy, France, and Spain, making it one of the world's largest public cold storage companies. Construction is underway on a number of upcoming facilities. There are unique challenges that lead-acid batteries cannot solve in the company's warehouses because the temperature is below -30 degrees Celsius. A lead-acid battery system loses power and operating efficiency over a shorter cycle life, leading to higher operating costs and performance degradation.

Bebinca Wu Sales Manager of the Power Division at BSL Battery - Industrial, said: "Switching from lead-acid batteries to lithium-ion batteries has shown immediate benefits for PF customers. In cold environments, lithium-ion systems maintain a longer service life at extreme temperatures and eliminate the need for time-consuming and expensive maintenance. As the company strives to convert all existing and future material handling equipment to lithium-ion batteries, the fleet will operate better, last longer, and consume less power.."

There are many cold storage operators who are struggling to meet demand due to this heightened reality. Utilizing lithium-ion batteries efficiently is a proven way to maximize equipment utilization. What makes BSLBATT Lithium-Ion batteries so effective in cold storage? 

BSL Battery - forklift batteries prioritize safety and performance in cold temperatures with features designed to withstand the toughest environments.

• Active Heating: Each battery module has its own heater to provide continuous heating at temperatures as low as -40°C

• UL Certification: This certifies our commitment to providing safe products and ensuring their performance even in harsh environments

• Board Thermal Insulation: Keep the battery temperature constant during charging/discharging!

• Silica Gel Desiccant: Batteries are protected against condensation by silicone desiccant.

• Fully Enclosed:

As a result of their fully enclosed design, BSLBATT batteries achieve an IP67 rating. Liquids, condensation, and ice are kept out of the battery using this element.

• Fast Charging: Batteries can be charged more quickly, reducing downtime for cold storage businesses; they can also be charged within blast freezers and refrigerated warehouses.

BSL Battery - Industrial was selected by PF customer because of its more than 10 years' experience developing lithium systems for a wide range of applications, including power generation. Local services can be provided to customers in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and France in Europe. Additionally, PF customer executives wanted a partner who could provide more sustainable products, providing seamless and cost-effective transitions to lithium battery systems, and plans to make 100% of fleet operations battery powered.
