Electric walkie stacker has become one of the most widely used material handling equipment in small and medium-sized warehouses, retail stock rooms and light manufacturing workshops, for its flexible operation, zero emission and low operation cost. As the core power component of the whole equipment, the battery’s working duration and total service life have always been a top concern for most operation managers and equipment users.

To start with, we can divide the battery duration standard into two core dimensions: single full-charge runtime, and full life cycle service lifespan. For single full-charge runtime, under normal ambient temperature and standard working conditions, an electric walkie stacker with rated load of 1 to 2 tons can support 4 to 8 hours of continuous operation. The actual runtime will fluctuate within a reasonable range according to different working scenarios. If the equipment keeps working under full load with frequent lifting operations, or the working site has many slopes that need frequent climbing, the power consumption speed will rise accordingly, and the actual single runtime will be shorter. In low temperature environment below zero degrees Celsius, the internal activity of the battery will decrease, which will also lead to a certain reduction of available runtime.

For the full life cycle service lifespan, with standard operation and regular maintenance, the common lithium battery configured for electric walkie stacker can reach 1500 to 3000 complete charge and discharge cycles. For most small and medium-sized warehouses that use the equipment for 2 to 4 hours every working day, the battery can keep stable performance for 5 to 8 years in general.

There are several core factors that will affect the actual service life of the battery. First is the daily charging habit. It is not recommended to use the battery until it is completely drained, and long time overcharging after the battery is fully charged should also be avoided. The charging site needs to keep dry and ventilated, with ambient temperature kept between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius, which can effectively extend the battery’s stable service period. Second is regular maintenance. Users need to clean the dust and residual liquid on the battery surface periodically, check the tightness of wiring terminals to avoid oxidation and loose connection. If the equipment needs to be idle for more than one month, keep the remaining battery level between 40% and 60%, and perform a supplementary charge once a month, to prevent deep power loss from damaging the cell activity.
