With the continuous progress of technology, the durability of lead-acid batteries is expected to be further improved, and they will continue to shine and heat in future logistics handling scenarios.

In the fast-paced operation of the logistics industry, forklift is a key handling equipment, and its power source performance and reliability are crucial. Lead-acid batteries, with their excellent durability characteristics, have become a well-deserved partner for logistics forklifts. In-depth analysis of the durability advantages of lead-acid batteries in logistics forklift applications can not only provide a reference for the equipment selection of logistics enterprises, but also help to promote the efficient and stable operation of the logistics industry.

Basic structure and working principle of lead-acid battery

When the battery is discharged, the lead in the negative electrode reacts with sulfuric acid to form lead sulfate and release electrons; After accepting electrons, the positive lead dioxide also reacts with sulfuric acid to form lead sulfate and water. The charging process is the reverse reaction of the discharge, and the lead sulfate is re-converted into lead dioxide and lead respectively in the positive and negative electrodes, and the sulfuric acid concentration rebounds, so as to achieve the repeated use of the battery. This relatively simple and mature chemical system lays the foundation for its durability. In the charge and discharge cycle, although the plate material will experience chemical reactions, as long as it is used properly, it can maintain a stable physical and chemical structure and ensure the lasting stability of the battery performance.

Durable performance of logistics forklift in complex working conditions

The working environment of logistics forklifts is complex and diverse, the workshop is hot and stuffy, the warehouse is relatively cold and humid, and the forklift often needs continuous high-intensity operation, frequent start and stop, and heavy loads. Lead-acid batteries, with their own characteristics, show excellent durability under such conditions.

Lead-acid batteries have strong resistance to shock and shock. In the process of handling goods, the road surface is not always flat, and bumps and vibrations are inevitable. The plate inside the lead-acid battery is installed in the battery slot through a special fixed way, and the electrolyte also has a certain buffer effect, which can effectively reduce the damage of the vibration to the plate, prevent the plate from breaking, the active substance falling off and other problems, and ensure that the battery can still work normally under bad road conditions.

In the face of different temperature environments, lead-acid batteries also have good adaptability. In a high temperature environment, the lead-acid battery dissipates heat through the volatilization of the electrolyte to maintain the internal temperature balance and ensure the normal chemical reaction. Although the high temperature will accelerate the self-discharge of the battery to a certain extent, it can still maintain relatively stable performance output with its mature structural design. In a low temperature environment, although the capacity of the battery will decrease, the electrolyte of the lead-acid battery is not easy to freeze, compared with some other types of batteries, it can better provide start-up and operation power for the forklift truck in a cold warehouse and other environments, and after multiple charge and discharge cycles, the performance recovery ability is strong, and will not cause permanent damage due to short-term low temperature use.

Charge and discharge cycle life: the core indicator of durability

Charge and discharge cycle life is a key factor to measure battery durability. For lead-acid batteries used in logistics forklifts, their cycle life performance is excellent. Under normal circumstances, reliable lead-acid batteries can complete 1500 charge and discharge cycles under normal use and maintenance conditions. With the logistics forklift using 1-2 cycles per day, a battery can be used for several years.

During the cycle of lead-acid battery, the structure of its electrode material changes relatively slowly. After multiple REDOX reactions, the positive lead dioxide will have a certain degree of structural porosity, but because its crystal structure is relatively stable, as long as the charging voltage, current and other parameters are properly controlled, it will not deteriorate rapidly leading to large capacity attenuation. Most of the lead sulfate generated in the cycle can be converted back to lead when charged, reducing the risk of irreversible sulfation. Moreover, with the continuous improvement of the manufacturing process, the manufacturing accuracy of the plate and the formulation optimization of the active substance have further improved the cycle life of the lead-acid battery, so that it has always maintained a stable power output in the application scenario of logistics forklift trucks with long-term frequent charging and discharging.

Maintenance and maintenance: The key to extending the durability of lead-acid batteries

Although the lead-acid battery itself has durable characteristics, the correct maintenance and maintenance can further tap its potential and extend its service life. Regular check of electrolyte level is an important maintenance link. Because the battery consumes water in the electrolyte during the charging and discharging process, the low level may cause the plate to be exposed, accelerate the plate vulcanization, and shorten the battery life. By adding distilled water or special lead-acid battery supplement, maintaining the appropriate level can ensure that the electrolyte is in full contact with the plate and maintain the normal chemical reaction of the battery.

Charge management is also critical. Use the matching charger, in strict accordance with the battery charging specifications to avoid overcharge and undercharge. Overcharging will heat up the battery, accelerate plate aging, and even cause battery bulges; Undercharging will cause the lead sulfate inside the battery to be unable to be completely converted, and gradually accumulate to form irreversible sulfation. Reasonable charging time and charging current Settings can keep the battery in the best condition after each charge, thus improving its durability. In addition, regular deep discharge and balanced charging of the battery help to eliminate the voltage difference between the cells inside the battery, so that the performance of the battery pack is more balanced and stable, and the overall service life is extended.

Durable value from a cost-benefit perspective

From the point of view of operating costs of logistics enterprises, the durability of lead-acid batteries brings significant cost benefits. Although the initial acquisition cost of lead-acid batteries is relatively low, if the batteries are frequently replaced, it will not only increase the cost of equipment procurement, but also affect the efficiency of logistics operations due to the shutdown of forklifts, resulting in hidden economic losses. The long service life of lead-acid batteries greatly reduces the frequency of replacement. Taking a forklift as an example, the use of durable lead-acid batteries can save a lot of battery replacement costs within a few years of service life compared to other batteries with shorter life.

At the same time, due to the mature maintenance technology of lead-acid batteries, the maintenance cost is relatively controllable. Unlike the complex and expensive maintenance needs of some high-end batteries, logistics companies only need to be equipped with basic maintenance tools and professionals to maintain lead-acid batteries according to the established process, reducing the overall cost of equipment operation and maintenance. This low-cost advantage from purchase to use makes lead-acid batteries popular in the field of logistics forklifts, and become a reliable choice to ensure efficient logistics operation and control operating costs.

In the field of logistics forklift power, lead-acid batteries have become the ideal partner for logistics forklifts with their unique construction, excellent working condition adaptability, excellent charge-discharge cycle life, easy maintenance and significant cost-effectiveness advantages. Its ultra-long durability not only provides stable and reliable power support for forklifts, but also plays an irreplaceable role in the efficient operation of the logistics industry, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of logistics enterprises. With the continuous progress of technology, the durability of lead-acid batteries is expected to be further improved, and they will continue to shine and heat in future logistics handling scenarios.
