Unlike lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries are maintenance-free. There is no need to top up with water, clean or check the acid level. While lead-acid batteries can repeatedly cause injuries due to leaking battery acid and gases or crushing due to improper handling when replacing the battery, this is not the case with lithium-ion batteries. This danger does not exist when using Li-ion batteries.

The Li-ion battery can be recharged during breaks, for example, without causing any loss of capacity or damage to the battery. In contrast, lead-acid batteries lose some of their capacity when not in use, during intermediate charging or when charging is interrupted. This problem does not occur with Li-ion batteries.

In Li-ion technology, the energy yield is very high. 90 to 95% of the energy taken from the charger is absorbed by the battery.

In contrast to the lead-acid battery, the Li-Ion battery makes very few demands on the infrastructure: The battery can be charged decentrally. The operator does not need complex charging stations, as no gassing occurs during charging. Thus, valuable storage space is gained.

Li-ion batteries have a significantly longer service life than lead-acid batteries, reduce costs and minimise the ecological footprint. By changing fewer batteries, they contribute to the sustainability of companies, save resources and minimise environmental impact.

Thanks to the opportunity charging capability and easy recharging of the battery at the charging station, there is no need to change the battery even in multi-shift use. This not only enables flexible use of the vehicle around the clock, but also means a significant physical relief for the operator and the elimination of further infrastructure that would be necessary for battery replacement.
