Li-Ion vs lead-acid batteries

Li-Ion vs lead-acid batteries

      Comparing battery charging times

Comparing battery charging times
  • At identical volumes, the Li-Ion battery contains twice the amount of energy
  • Opposed to lead-acid batteries, Li-Ion batteries need no maintenance with respect to the acid
  • Li-Ion batteries have a higher energy density (Wh/kg). This provides substantially longer work time and availability of the trucks
  • Li-Ion batteries convince with their light weight and constant voltage throughout the usage cycle
  • Li-Ion batteries can be 100% discharged instead of 80% as is the case with conventional acid batteries
  • Twice as many charging cycles are possible (2.500)
  • Li-Ion batteries have much shorter charging times
  • The service life of Li-Ion batteries is not affected by opportunity charging
  • After 30 minutes charging time, the Li-Ion battery is charged to 50% of its capacity
  • The full capacity is reached after 1,5 hours

Savings in operation and handling costs - the arise for conventional lead-acid batteries - make Li-Ion batteries more and more economically feasible.

Also in terms of safety this future oriented technology sets new standards. Each battery cell is monitored in real time. The highly accurate discharge indicator allows using the performance very efficiently.

STILL Simply Efficient

How can Li-Ion technology help your company?

What makes up the optimal battery technology? We at STILL are firmly convinced that the answer is far more than high performance.

STILL Li-Ion Fleet

Innovative truck portfolio - ready for your operation

STILL has started to work with Li-Ion batteries early on and was able to develop a large number of trucks with this technology. Today we are ready to offer you a complete fleet of Li-Ion trucks. Be it low lift trucks, order pickers, tractors or counterbalanced trucks - our portfolio is constantly growing. Find out more about the innovative Li-Ion family from STILL. Li-Ion warehouse trucks are fitted with a compact Li-Ion battery. Li-Ion counterbalance trucks provide enough space to deploy an Li-Ion battery with twice as much performance.

Please refer to the brochure to read about the load capacities available for Li-Ion trucks.Brochure on STILL Li-Ion technology

Li-Ion counterbalanced trucks

Li-Ion counterbalanced trucks

Thanks to an extensive re-design the new smart electric counterbalance truck sets new standards in handling loads of 1.4 to 2 tons. Its lithium-ion battery can be charged to 50 % in just 30 minutes and allows for easy interim charging of the truck, while the charging process itself is approximately an hour faster than for conventional lead batteries. What’s more, the lithium-ion battery lasts around twice as long as a lead battery, is maintenance free and can be used in a cold store. And it breaks new ground when it comes to safety too: every battery cell is monitored in real time. The RX 20 Li-Ion is the ideal electric forklift truck for extended periods of operation in industrial, trade and logistics applications.

Li-Ion reach trucks

Li-Ion reach trucks

The FM-X is always more than just a fork ahead of the rest. Thanks to active load stabilisation (ALS) you can deal with the next goods transport while others would still be waiting for the mast to stop vibrating. An automatic equalising pulse provides a fast and effective way of stopping the vibrations from occurring at great heights, reducing the waiting time at the shelf by up to 80 per cent. The result is a significant increase in turnaround speed. The powerful Li-Ion technology makes it possible to use the FM-X even more efficiently in the multi-shift operation. Due to the higher energy density of the battery the FM-X reaches longer operating times. This result increases the availability of the truck. The operator always has the total truck performance for the whole shift thanks to stable voltage supply.

Tax benefits thanks to unbeatable eco-friendliness

As the only truck of its class the STILL RX 70-60/80 gives Dutch buyers a tax benefit.

In the Netherlands eco-friendly drive technologies are rewarded with tax benefits. Thanks to its outstandingly low emissions compared to its competitors, the STILL diesel RX 70 with six to eight tons load capacity is the only truck in its class that gives its purchasers a massive tax benefit. No other supplier on the market benefits from this Dutch incentive program, because none of the competitors offer a truck with comparably low emissions.

The current tax benefit is 36 per cent. That means 36 per cent of the purchase price are exempt from taxation. Assuming a purchase price of 50 000 Euro, the net saving would amount to 4 500 Euro, for example.

Thanks to their outstanding energy efficiency, STILL trucks with lithium-ion technology in the Netherlands have also come to benefit from the tax benefits since recently. Here the same exemption of 36 per cent applies as well on the total truck price, not just on the battery.
