Why Lithium-ion Technology

Lithium-ion battery packs allow operators to take existing material handling equipment and upgrade it to a more efficient, dependable power source. Built around Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry, these systems are engineered to support multi-shift operations while improving safety and performance on the floor, an approach RDS Equipment supports by helping customers select the right battery solution for their operation.

Lithium-ion Benefits

ULBS battery packs allow end users to upgrade existing equipment with the following features:

  • Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) chemistry that balances safety and high performance
  • Rapid and opportunity charging designed for 3-shift operations
  • Designed to operate in extreme temperatures from -18°F to 149°F
  • Zero maintenance
  • Zero watering required
  • Zero harmful gas emissions

Lead-Acid vs. Lithium-ion Battery Packs

When compared to lead-acid batteries in the same application, lithium-ion battery packs deliver measurable long-term advantages.

Lithium-ion battery packs allow end users to save over 50% in total cost of ownership when compared to a lead-acid battery pack. In long-term operation, this can result in over $20,000 in total cost savings per truck, representing a 53.27% difference in total cost of ownership.

Upgrade Without Replacing Your Equipment

Lithium Iron Phosphate battery packs are designed to replace existing lead-acid batteries in material handling equipment. This allows operators to upgrade to lithium-ion power while keeping their current trucks in service.

The result is faster charging, longer battery life, and maintenance-free operation without changing equipment platforms.

Power Your Operation with Confidence

Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries provide a proven upgrade for material handling operations focused on uptime, safety, and cost control. RDS Equipment can help you evaluate whether lithium-ion battery technology is the right fit for your fleet and operating environment.
