High intensity forklift operations require an energy source that is capable of powering through a multi-shift environment while maintaining low costs of operation. Stromcore, a Canadian-based lithium battery manufacturer, has released their next generation range of heavy-duty lithium batteries that offer industry leading "Turbo" charge rates, durable components that last twice as long as competing lithium solutions, and no downtime to keep forklifts running productively.

Next generation 36V lithium-ion battery

Large format forklifts, like those used in outdoor applications, have traditionally been dominated by propane and other internal combustion options, but high fuel and maintenance costs continue to be a sore spot. Although lithium batteries have offered the promise of low energy costs, their ability to keep up with the pace of internal combustion has been a challenge. Stromcore has proven that operations can have the best of both worlds using cutting edge battery technology, ushering in lithium's long-awaited promise.

Compatible with the widest range of forklift models

Flexible compatibility is an important element since operations will first select which forklift is right for the job, and then move on to selecting their energy provider. This is why Stromcore's large format batteries have been designed to fit the greatest number of forklift models in the market with a range of voltage from 36V to 96V. For large-scale indoor operations, the 36V and 48V range is capable of reaching up to 1,600AH and 1,200AH of capacity respectively, to keep running around the clock. For more demanding outdoor environments, Stromcore batteries are also available in 72V, 80V, and 96V options. The batteries have been rigorously field tested in harsh conditions ranging from heavy lumber to cold storage.

Turbo charging eliminates the need to constantly swap fuel tanks

Stromcore batteries were built with cutting edge patented battery cell technology that can charge at continuous rates of 600A when paired with Stromcore's Turbo chargers. With opportunity charging, forklifts gain up to 2 hours of runtime for every 10 minutes of charge. Using a simple plug-and-charge mechanism (just like an electric car!), the strains of swapping heavy propane tanks are eliminated. Best of all, the batteries generate half the heat of other lithium battery providers, which eliminates the need for extended cooldown breaks, even in warm ambient climates.
