The battery life of an electric pallet truck is a key factor in measuring its performance and suitability. The time it can run continuously after each charge directly affects the efficiency and reliability of the equipment in the actual working environment. Generally, the battery life of an electric pallet truck is closely related to multiple factors, including battery type, usage intensity, load weight, ground conditions and temperature.
Battery type and capacity are the most important factors in determining battery life. Common electric pallet trucks generally use lead-acid batteries or lithium batteries. Lead-acid batteries have a shorter battery life, generally between 4-6 hours, while lithium batteries provide longer working time, usually 8-10 hours or even longer. Lithium batteries have higher energy density, shorter charging time, and better durability, so lithium batteries are often more advantageous in high-frequency use environments.
Load weight also has a significant impact on the battery life of electric pallet trucks. As the load increases, electric pallet trucks require more power to maintain operation, so the battery life will decrease accordingly when carrying heavy objects. If the vehicle load is lighter, the electric pallet truck can maintain efficient work for a longer time. In the case of overload, the battery consumption rate will accelerate and the battery life may be significantly reduced.
The use environment is also a factor that cannot be ignored. The ground condition has a great impact on the energy consumption of the electric pallet truck. If the operating environment is flat, hard and without too many obstacles, the electric pallet truck can travel more efficiently and reduce unnecessary power loss. On the contrary, if the ground is uneven, there is a slope, or frequent turning, acceleration, braking and other operations are required, the battery consumption will increase, thus affecting the battery life. Especially in complex environments such as warehouses and factories, the ups and downs and obstacles of the ground may greatly shorten the battery life of the equipment.
Temperature is also a key factor affecting the battery life of electric pallet trucks. Extreme high or low temperatures will affect the working efficiency of the battery. In cold weather, the chemical reaction rate of the battery slows down, resulting in a decrease in the power storage capacity, thereby shortening the battery life. High temperature may cause the battery to overheat or even damage. Therefore, the battery life of electric pallet trucks in extreme temperature environments may be greatly affected.
In actual operation, the frequency of operation and the intensity of work are also one of the factors that determine the battery life of electric pallet trucks. If the device is frequently started, accelerated, braked, or carried out with high intensity, the battery consumption rate will increase accordingly. On the contrary, continuous and even use can extend the battery life. In addition, regular charging and appropriate battery maintenance measures can also effectively extend the battery life and improve the endurance performance.
