“Electric scissors of today are typically powered by lead-acid batteries, which are comprised of a number of lead plates in a bath of acid,” says Mr. Zhang, BSLBATT Product Manager. “The new BSLBATT lithium-ion battery option is made up of a Lithium Iron Phosphate mixture (commonly referred to as LFP), proven battery chemistry well suited for the performance required in demanding rental applications and Jobsite environments. To further enhance the performance of the new BSLBATT lithium-ion battery, we have incorporated battery heaters into the design of this new option to enable the battery to provide reliable, consistent operation in temperatures down to -20°F (-29°C).”

According to Skyjack, Snorkel, Genie customer feedback, these construction-ready lithium-ion batteries from BSLBATT offer many advantages in rental scenarios. For example, these rechargeable batteries use the transfer of lithium ions to provide power and charge, as well as offer a number of performance benefits over lead-acid batteries, such as:

● Fast and efficient charging to 100% capacity

● Eco-friendly, lead-free design

● Long-life eliminates the need for battery replacement

● Minimal maintenance requirements

● Superior cold weather performance

● Maintains charge when not in use

“Healthy batteries are critical for proper machine performance,” says Skyjack, Snorkel, Genie customer feedback. “With lead-acid batteries, opportunity charging, lack of watering batteries (refilling with electrolytes) and mismatched charging cycle (or charger) can reduce battery life. With BSLBATT lithium-ion batteries, battery maintenance and watering are eliminated — saving time and money. BSLBATT lithium-ion batteries are designed to perform throughout the machine’s first rental life.”

The new BSLBATT lithium-ion battery option is compatible with the Delta-Q charger for BSLBATT GPS+GPRS telematics and Skyjack, Snorkel, Genie device connectivity.

Developed in direct response to rental business needs, the BSLBATT GPS+GPRS telematics solution is focused on actionable information, flexibility, and transparency. This technology has evolved to help customers understand the information their rental machines are providing, enabling them to leverage machine data to more efficiently manage their business.

A motor drive powered by a lithium battery also makes it possible to use the platform in any environment: in fact, the absence of gas emissions makes it possible to charge the platform anywhere in the facility in complete safety.

So, also in the industrial sector, the high efficiency of lithium batteries, up to 25% higher than lead-acid batteries, provides significant energy savings and considerably reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
