V-Force Lithium-Ion Energy Storage Systems
A New Generation of Power
Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion technology can save substantial time and money through increased efficiency, enhanced productivity and a lower total cost of ownership.
The complete range of Crown forklift trucks can be equipped with lithium-ion batteries. A selection of lithium-ion Energy Storage Systems (ESS) is available to fit your Crown trucks.
Faster Charging, Extended Run Time
and Longer Life
V-Force Lithium-Ion Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are ideal for multi-shift operations utilising opportunity charging. Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion systems provide:
Up to 40 percent greater energy efficiency
Higher sustained voltage properties
Higher rate of return during any charging event
Up to 22 hours of run time per 24-hour period
V-Force Lithium-Ion Technology takes Crown Forklifts to the Next Level
The fully integrated V-Force Lithium-Ion ESS optimises battery life, performance and value with:
- battery levels and warnings shown on the in-truck display
- a battery management system that monitors, tracks and prevents abuse and operation outside of warranted conditions
- an early warning system that alerts the operator of low state of charge and limits truck functionalities
- a charger integrated in the battery tray (available on select series)
Safe and Maintenance-Free
In terms of safety and maintenance, Crown's Lithium-Ion ESS provides considerable advantages over lead-acid batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries are sealed units that don't require watering and eliminate the need for battery swapping. During charging, they avoid exposure to harmful acid and vapours and eliminate the need for expensive ventilation systems. During use, the battery management system measures individual cell temperatures and voltages while offering protection against deep-discharge, short-circuit and overcharge.
Support You Can Count On
