With the increase in labor costs nowadays, cleaning machines such as floor washers and sweepers are widely used in different industries and scenarios. Most floor scrubber battery on the market are lead acid batteries. Lead acid batteries are generally prone to insufficient power and rapid power consumption in about 1 to 2 years, resulting in a significant reduction in the cleaning efficiency of floor scrubber manufacturers. Drop-in replacement lithium battery can solve these problems very well. That’s why more and more floor scrubber manufacturers prefer lithium battery than lead-acid battery in recent years.
Floor scrubbers usually have a large cleaning area and a long working time, therefore, they have very high requirements on floor scrubber battery. Virute’s LiFePO4 battery pack is designed to replace heavy, limited-capacity lead acid battery in floor scrubbers. Comparing to traditional lead acid battery, LiFePO4 battery provides more sustained performance, more reliable power and greater safety.
Why choosing LiFePO4 battery is the best option to power floor scrubbers?
Longer battery life
How long do floor scrubber batteries last is one of the most common concerns for floor scrubber manufacturers. LiFePO4 batteries for floor scrubbers can be cycled for four thousand times which is ten times that of lead acid battery. This means that lithium iron phosphate battery can provide a longer service life. Assuming that your floor washing machine uses a lead acid battery, which is charged and discharged once a day. You will need to replace the floor scrubber battery with a new one after two years. If you use a LiFePO4 battery, it can be used for ten years under the same conditions.
More efficient
The charge and discharge efficiency of lead-acid battery is about 80%, which means that 20% of the power is lost during the charging and discharging process. The efficiency of LiFePO4 battery is as high as 99%. LiFePO4 battery is able to use electric energy more effectively when storing energy and powering floor scrubbers. As a result, it greatly reduces the loss of power conversion and provides longer use time for floor scrubbers.
Most floor cleaning machines used in industrial and commercial areas need to charge the floor scrubber battery for 6 to 8 hours before starting and running. Our LiFePO4 battery supports 1C charging current and the charging time only takes 1 to 2 hours, which improves the performance of floor cleaning machines and machine operators.
In addition, the floor scrubber lithium battery is 67% lighter than the AGM battery of the same capacity, which reduces the overall weight of the equipment and improves the flexibility of the cleaning equipment.
More worry-free security
Lead acid battery produces a small amount of gas that is harmful to the human body when charging. LiFePO4 battery does not contain any heavy metal elements that are harmful to the human body. Moreover, lithium iron phosphate battery has good thermal stability and has a low risk of thermal runaway at high temperatures. We have installed a battery management system in LiFePO4 floor scrubber battery to monitor the battery status in real time. By doing this, we are able to ensure the safe operation of the LiFePO4 battery for floor cleaning machine.
Wider operating temperature range
The floor scrubber manufacturers we cooperate with usually choose 12v and 24v floor scrubber battery replacement. Therefore, their floor scrubbers can work in temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. This means their products work well in both cold and hot environments. Lead acid battery have the disadvantage of being afraid of heat and cold. Lowering the temperature will lead to lower charging and discharging efficiency.
Higher economic benefits
LiFePO4 battery pack requires no maintenance and do not require regular watering, which reduces maintenance costs. LiFePO4 battery is designed to have a lifespan of up to ten years. LiFePO4 battery lasts for a long time, can reduce the number of times you replace the floor scrubber battery and can reduce the cost of battery replacement. Although the purchase cost of lithium batteries for floor scrubbers is higher, taking the battery life and maintenance requirements into consideration, LiFePO4 floor machine batteries are more cost-effective than lead acid batteries.
As a professional manufacturer of floor scrubber lithium battery, we have extensive experience in replacing lead acid batteries with LiFePO4 batteries. We supply top floor cleaning machine manufacturers with high-quality LiFePO4 batteries to replace their lead acid batteries, We provide ideal solution to our customers to ensure proper operation of floor cleaning equipment.
