Sodium-Ion Batteries for Forklift

Polinovel develops sodium-ion forklift batteries for electric forklifts, warehouse trucks, and industrial material handling equipment. Available in multiple voltage and capacity configurations, our batteries combine low-temperature capability, high-current output, and intelligent battery protection to support demanding daily operations.
Cold-Weather Performance
 
Cold temperatures can affect battery performance in demanding industrial environments. Polinovel sodium-ion forklift batteries offer low-temperature discharge capability, making them a practical option for cold-storage warehouses and other challenging operating conditions.
High-Current Traction Power
 
Forklifts require dependable power for frequent lifting, acceleration, and material transport. Polinovel sodium-ion traction batteries are designed to meet changing load demands, with continuous and peak discharge capability matched to different equipment requirements.
Flexible Charging for Daily Operations
 
Busy forklift fleets need charging schedules that fit their operations. Polinovel sodium-ion batteries can support planned charging and compatible opportunity-charging arrangements, helping operators manage available charging windows between working shifts.

Sodium-Ion vs. LFP vs. Lead-Acid Batteries

The comparison below highlights the key differences between sodium-ion, LFP and lead-acid batteries for energy storage.
Metric Sodium-Ion LFP (LiFePO₄) Lead-Acid
Cold-Weather Discharge Down to −40°C Model-dependent Reduced capacity in cold
Cycle Life 8000 cycles 3000–5000 cycles 500–1500 cycles
Energy Density Chemistry-dependent Generally high Generally low
Maintenance No watering No watering Watering for flooded types
Storage Applications
Cold-climate storage, daily cycling
Daily solar storage, compact systems Backup power, budget-led projects
−40°C discharge and 8,000 cycles apply to selected Polinovel models. Cycle test: 0.5C, 90% DOD, 25 ± 2°C. Actual performance varies by model.
