Navitas Systems has introduced its Starlifter Lithium deep cycle forklift battery system, specifically engineered for the material handling market. Starlifter is designed for rapid recharging, so one battery serves two- and three-shift operations without need of changing out.
Starlifter recharges in one hour, compared to 16 hours for lead acid. Starlifter also enjoys a 40% runtime improvement in cold warehouses.
Features include:
Zero maintenance—no watering, no hydrogen off-gassing ; no dry-out in high temps
Very long cycle life
Higher round trip efficiency
Use of one lithium battery per truck, which never needs to be removed from the truck.
