5 Advantages of Lithium-Ion Batteries

The hot topic in batteries is lithium-ion technology. Today, they are a common power source for a wide range of everyday products such as laptops, cell phones, power tools, and even vehicles. With technology focused on speed, big data, and mobility, the importance of a reliable portable power source is growing and steadily increasing.

At Tannen, rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-on) batteries are becoming increasingly popular as a power option for small and large cleaning equipment. Their benefits fall into five broad categories: maintenance, longevity, charging speed, safety, and ease of recharging. Before we dive into the details, let's define exactly what lithium-ion batteries are and some of the science behind them.

How are lithium batteries different from lithium-ion batteries?

In short, lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable, while most lithium batteries are not. Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged hundreds of times and are more stable. They tend to have a higher energy density, voltage capacity, and lower self-discharge rates than other rechargeable batteries. This makes for a more efficient power supply, as individual cells hold a charge longer than other battery types.

5 Advantages of Lithium-Ion Batteries

As mentioned earlier, we have broken down the advantages of lithium batteries into five broad categories.

• Maintenance: Unlike liquid-rich lead-acid batteries, which require monitoring of water levels, lithium-ion batteries do not require the addition of water. This reduces the maintenance needed to keep the battery running, which also eliminates the need to train new team members on procedures and monitoring the machine to ensure the water level is correct. Lithium-ion batteries also require no engine maintenance.

• Lifespan: The average lithium-ion battery in a high-capacity battery pack can last up to eight years or more. Longer life helps pay for your investment in lithium-ion battery technology.

• Easy and fast charging: Using lithium-ion batteries that can be charged quickly means less downtime when the machine is connected to a charging station. Of course, in a busy facility, the less time the machine sits idle, the better. It also reduces machine downtime, and the lithium-ion batteries can be recharged at any time. This means that cleaning procedures don't have to be designed around the need to allow batteries to be fully charged between uses, and it also simplifies training for team members.

• Safer facility: Avoid exposure to flammable fuels and battery acid by using lithium-ion technology, improving indoor air quality, and reducing the risk of accidents. Also, enjoy quiet operation with low dBa sound levels.

• Environmental impact: Lithium-ion batteries offer significant environmental benefits compared to other fossil fuel alternatives. With the steady growth of electric vehicles, we are seeing the immediate impact of reduced carbon emissions. Minimizing your gas cleaners not only benefits your long-term costs but helps make your business more sustainable.

Other considerations and guidelines

There are several factors to consider when considering lithium-ion versus other batteries. Things like how you manage cell storage are important. Pricing is also a factor when considering investing in lithium-ion batteries for your equipment. While lithium-ion batteries are typically more expensive, the lifecycle value (LTV) of the product may outweigh the cost.  

Saving time, simplifying training, and extending battery life are the biggest reasons why more and more facilities are investing in lithium-ion batteries. Switching to lithium-ion batteries is easier than you might think, and your facility should evaluate them regularly. When reviewing your cleaning equipment inventory, consider how these benefits can help your operation.
