5 Factors That Affect the Efficiency of Industrial Batteries

April 21, 2022 12:00 am Published by Leave your thoughts

When choosing a battery, most people will ask: what is the efficiency of the battery?  Battery efficiency refers to the ratio of energy input to energy output. The output energy is always less than the input energy. Nevertheless, there are factors affecting battery performance. Measurement of a Battery’s Energy Efficiency The energy efficiency of a battery can be measured using two methods: voltage efficiency and Coulombic efficiency (CE). The voltage efficiency of a battery is the voltage difference between when it is charging and when discharging; this difference is produced by what is called over-potential.  Coulombic efficiency measures the transmission of electrons during charging and...

How Internal Resistance Affects Industrial Battery Performance

April 21, 2022 12:00 am Published by Leave your thoughts

The capacity of a battery doesn’t tell its full story because a perfect battery must deliver all the stored energy effectively. There is no perfect battery in the real world because no battery can give the entirety of its stored battery due to factors like internal resistance. However, batteries with lower internal resistance typically perform better than those with higher resistance. So What Is Internal Resistance in Batteries? In simple terms, internal resistance can be described as the "gatekeeper" of batteries. The internal resistance will hinder voltage delivery and determine the battery’s runtime. The internal resistance of a battery is... View Article

The Importance of Temperature Control for Industrial Batteries

February 18, 2022 3:33 pm Published by Leave your thoughts

All things considered, battery technology is a pretty low-maintenance means of powering your equipment—that’s why they’re so prevalent across industries that rely on mobile power sources. But there are things to keep in mind when using batteries in your operation to keep things running smoothly and to the best of their ability. The temperature, for example—both inside and outside your battery—can impact its performance capabilities. Understanding how temperature impacts battery function and longevity is important because it will help you grasp the necessity of temperature control for industrial batteries and avoid any negative effects from hot or cold environments.

Everything You Need to Know About Forklift Battery Chargers

February 4, 2022 3:33 pm Published by Leave your thoughts

If you’ve ever charged a battery before, you’d probably imagine the process of charging an industrial forklift’s batteries would be a similarly straightforward task. When you notice the juice is getting low, pop the battery into your forklift battery charger for a while and then get back to work. What could go wrong? Unfortunately, things are a little more complicated than that. In order to get the most out of your industrial forklift battery’s lifespan, frequently recharging just won’t cut it. To improve charging efficiency and safety, as well as the longevity of each battery you buy, there are a... View Article
