Client Profile:
Our client is the official distributor of Linde forklifts in Vietnam—a market leader in material handling equipment known for its rigorous quality standards. Serving major logistics, manufacturing, and warehousing operations across Southeast Asia, the distributor faced a growing demand for reliable, high-performance, and low-maintenance lithium battery solutions compatible with a range of Linde forklift models.
Challenges:
Vietnam’s operating environment presents two core challenges:
Extreme Climate Conditions – High ambient temperatures, consistently above 35°C, coupled with high humidity levels often exceeding 80%, present significant stress to traditional lead-acid batteries.
Demanding Work Cycles – Most end customers in the region operate on two or three shifts daily, requiring power systems that can handle continuous, long-duration use with rapid recharge cycles.
The distributor required a battery supplier that could provide:
Robust thermal stability
Long cycle life in tropical conditions
Low maintenance requirements
OEM-level integration with Linde forklifts
Fast delivery and post-sales technical support
Our Solution: Custom-Engineered LFP Battery Packs for Linde Forklifts
After a thorough consultation with the client and technical assessment of their forklift fleet, we proposed a series of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs optimized for 24V, 48V, and 80V Linde forklifts. All battery packs were built using Grade-A Gotion High-Tech cells, known for their high consistency, long cycle life, and excellent thermal tolerance.
Key Specifications and Options:
Voltage Platforms: 24V / 48V / 80V
Capacity Options: 210Ah, 280Ah, 400Ah, 525Ah
Cycle Life: >6,000 cycles @ 80% DOD (Depth of Discharge)
Thermal Range: Operational from -30°C to 60°C, with optional integrated heating for cold starts
Cooling Solutions: Optional liquid or passive air-cooling depending on application
Certifications: CE, MSDS, UN38.3, UL
OEM Customization Features:
To ensure perfect integration and performance with Linde electric forklifts, the following OEM features were incorporated:
Bluetooth Connectivity: Real-time diagnostics, cell balancing, and SOC monitoring via mobile apps.
Integrated LCD Display: On-board real-time voltage, current, and fault status display.
CAN/RS485 Communication: Seamless communication with Linde BMS and forklift controllers.
GPS Tracking (Optional): For fleet management and anti-theft functionality.
Heated Battery Option: Designed to support early-morning cold starts in areas with sharp temperature drops.
Heavy-Duty Enclosures: Powder-coated stainless steel casing with IP65 protection grade, resistant to acid, dust, and water ingress.
Project Execution Timeline:
Initial Sampling & Testing: 2 weeks
Bulk Order Production: 4 weeks
Packaging & Sea Freight: 2–3 weeks to Ho Chi Minh City
Total Delivery Time: Approx. 50 days from order confirmation
Customer Feedback & Benefits:
After six months of continuous use, our client and their fleet customers have reported the following improvements:
Dramatic Drop in Maintenance Costs: With no need for water refilling, acid checks, or ventilation systems, daily maintenance routines were cut by over 80%.
Extended Operating Hours: Thanks to fast charging and high energy density, one lithium battery supports two to three shifts without battery swaps.
Improved Safety: No acid leakage, reduced battery room requirements, and zero toxic emissions.
Uptime and Reliability: Battery temperature and voltage remained stable even during high-load periods in 40°C warehouse environments.
