Still troubled by short battery life and frequent replacements? Do traditional lead-acid batteries burden your operation with inefficiency and environmental concerns? As lithium batteries rapidly replace lead-acid across the energy landscape, “Lead-to-Lithium” conversion is no longer optional — it’s essential for upgrading performance and reducing costs.
“Lead-to-Lithium” refers to replacing the original lead-acid battery system of equipment with a lithium battery system through customized engineering. It’s not a simple battery swap—it involves reconfiguring the entire power architecture to ensure stable and efficient lithium battery operation. This process is widely applied across electric floor scrubbers, forklifts, boats, golf carts, AGVs, logistics vehicles, sightseeing vehicles, sanitation vehicles, and UPS systems.

A large logistics enterprise operated a sizable electric forklift fleet powered by lead-acid batteries. With rising business demand, issues like long charge times, short runtime, and frequent battery replacement began impacting operations. The company partnered with MaxLi for a full lithium upgrade.
Step 1: Requirement Evaluation
MaxLi’s engineering team assessed the forklift usage, load, working hours, and environment. A tailored solution using high-energy-density LiFePO₄ batteries was proposed.
Step 2: Battery Production
Custom battery packs were manufactured under strict QC, with cell consistency ensured via 100% inspection.
Step 3: On-Site Installation & Commissioning
Old lead-acid batteries were removed; new lithium battery packs were installed and integrated. The charging system and control software were upgraded for compatibility. Comprehensive testing followed, including:
Each forklift was fine-tuned for optimal output.
Metric | Improvement |
---|---|
Runtime | +40% per charge; 2× longer operation |
Charging Time | Reduced from 8–10 hrs → 2–3 hrs |
Maintenance Cost | 60% reduction |
Cycle Life | 5,000+ cycles (vs. 1–2 years for lead-acid) |
Environmental | Eliminated lead pollution; improved ESG |
Economic Impact: Payback period <14 months; 60% lifetime cost savings.
Converting from lead-acid to lithium is a proven path to improving energy efficiency, runtime, and sustainability. Success depends on professional system design, quality components, and experienced service providers.
