The Raymond Corporation has launched the Energy Essentials Distributed by Raymond 48-volt drop-in lithium-ion battery (48V LIB). The battery is available in multiple configurations to meet a variety of user demands.
Designed as a direct, plug-and-play replacement for conventional lead acid batteries, the new 48V LIB fits lift trucks with battery compartments of 13 inches and larger and requires no additional modifications. The new battery also provides for continuous data exchange between Raymond lift trucks and chargers, giving users easy access to critical operating metrics, and to the Raymond portfolio of telematics and intralogistics solutions.
Features include increased productivity from convenient opportunity charging, longer run-times and faster charging; reduced maintenance thanks to the completely sealed battery design; and reduced energy and operating costs due to the decreased need for spare batteries or lift trucks.
