Why do floor scrubbers use lithium batteries?
Release time:2023-06-25
As a widely popular floor-cleaning device, floor scrubbers are now frequently used in places such as supermarkets, hotels, and factory workshops. Previously, most floor scrubbers relied on lead-acid batteries for power; however, today many floor scrubbers have switched to lithium batteries. So, what are the advantages of lithium batteries compared to lead-acid batteries? Let’s take a closer look.
First, lithium batteries offer greater convenience compared to lead-acid batteries. A key advantage of lithium batteries is their ease of use. Lead-acid batteries have a limited number of charge-discharge cycles—typically around 500 to 600 cycles—and, moreover, they exhibit a "memory effect." As a result, when using lead-acid batteries, we need to make sure they’re fully charged each time before use and recharge them as soon as the battery level drops to about 20%. This imposes certain limitations on how we can use them. In contrast, lithium batteries don’t suffer from these drawbacks. They have no memory effect, allowing you to charge and use them interchangeably. For example, at noon, we can pause our work, plug in the device for a quick charge, and then take it out again in the afternoon when we resume work. This greatly enhances flexibility.
2. Service Life: Due to the limited number of charge-discharge cycles of lead-acid batteries, their typical service life is 2–3 years, whereas lithium batteries have a service life of 5–7 years.
3. Easy Maintenance: In addition to needing to be fully charged before use and recharged after discharge, lead-acid batteries also require careful attention to charging time. This is because lead-acid batteries typically lack robust overcharge protection. If the charging time is too long or if the voltage rises overnight, causing the battery to keep charging, it can damage the battery. Lithium batteries, on the other hand, are equipped with a sophisticated overcharge protection system, which not only extends the battery’s lifespan but also ensures the safety of the device.
