In recent years, with the increase in environmental awareness and technological advancement, more companies have begun to seek more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions. We are excited to share another exciting success story of BSL lithium battery supply Coca-Cola Southeast Asia factory. We replaced lead-acid batteries with this revolutionary lithium-ion battery to resurrect the TCM 35 forklift! Running longer and spending less time charging for increased productivity demonstrates the power of our lithium technology in practical applications!
Customer Challenge: Lead-acid batteries at the Coca-Cola plant in Southeast Asia lose power after loading Coca-Cola beverages onto a used TCM 35 forklift onto a delivery truck, resulting in decreased productivity.
"Often shift workers usually come and don't charge the battery because the day shift batteries are running out, and they 'borrowed' the battery packs for the night shift," said Paulo, a warehouse manager at a Coca-Cola factory in Southeast Asia.
To cope with each TCM 35 electric forklift, two 8-hour shifts per day.
The TCM 35 electric forklift loads the truck (day and evening) requires 4 batteries, and it takes 7 times the time when the power equipment is not charged or available. For a long time, the work efficiency of the forklift has been seriously affected because each charge takes more than 8 hours. And short range: The working time after a single charge is limited, and the battery needs to be replaced frequently, which increases labor costs. At the same time, a lot of maintenance costs are increased: electrolyte needs to be added regularly, and improper maintenance can easily lead to battery damage and increase maintenance costs.
In order to solve the pain points of traditional lead-acid batteries, Coca-Cola's Southeast Asia factory decided to use BSL lithium batteries as an alternative. BSL lithium battery has the following advantages:
Fast charging: Full charge can be fully charged in 1-2 hours, greatly shortening the charging time and improving the working efficiency of the forklift.
One-click charging function: After the power is exhausted, press the charging button to activate the backup power supply, so that the forklift can return to the charging position at a low speed
Long range: The working time is longer after a single charge, which reduces the frequency of battery replacement and reduces labor costs.
External equalization function: The optional external monomer equalization function of the battery pack extends the service life and improves production efficiency (equalizes once a year, and the life span is increased by 10-20%).
Fire extinguisher function: The battery pack has a fire extinguisher inside the outer shell, making the battery safer. If the battery pack fails to burn, the fire can be extinguished in time.
Maintenance-free: No need to add electrolyte, simple maintenance, and reduce maintenance costs.
Environmentally friendly and pollution-free: Lithium batteries do not contain heavy metals, and are more environmentally friendly during production and waste.
Warranty: 8 years or 12,000 cycle warranty, total peace of mind
Intelligent Management: BSL lithium battery is equipped with an intelligent management system, which can monitor the battery status in real-time and improve safety and service life.
After replacing BSL lithium batteries, the Coca-Cola factory in Southeast Asia evaluates the refrigerator to decide whether to purchase it. The advantages are obvious, no water maintenance required, longer run time per charge, and easy on-board charging during breaks and lunch.
Now, the BSLBATT battery pack at the Coca-Cola factory in Southeast Asia usually lasts 8 hours, 10 hours, and sometimes even 12 hours per charge. Overall production efficiency has been improved by 50%. At the same time, labor costs and maintenance costs have been greatly reduced, saving considerable operating costs for the enterprise. The adoption of environmentally friendly lithium batteries demonstrates Coca-Cola's social responsibility for sustainable development and enhances its corporate image.
Paulo, warehouse manager at the Coca-Cola factory in Southeast Asia, commented: “The TCM 35 electric forklift has played a huge role in loading our delivery trucks, and BSLBATT’s lithium-ion battery pack has been a game-changer!”
After seeing the positive effects of switching from BSLBATT to lithium-ion battery packs, the Coca-Cola factory is converting more fleets to BSLBATT's lithium-ion technology, providing valuable experience for other businesses. I believe that with the continuous development of lithium battery technology and the decline in costs, more and more companies will choose lithium batteries as the source of power forklifts in the future, jointly promote the development of green logistics and contribute to the realization of sustainable development goals.
