A BSLBATT® Filipino client consolidated its small warehouse in Manila into two large distribution centers and replaced the fleet of forklifts at both locations from previously using lead-acid batteries to lithium-ion batteries. And make their facilities safer and cleaner. A detailed cost analysis shows that lithium batteries offer significant cost savings compared to LPG (propane) and lead-acid batteries. After more than half a year of impeccable performance of BSLBATT® lithium-ion batteries, the company’s forklifts have switched from lead-acid batteries to lithium batteries as the main power source for forklifts, which is an important step in improving distribution and sustainable development of 3PL.
