Reliable Power Across Your Warehouse Operation

Warehouse productivity depends on equipment being available when operators need it. Flux Power lithium-ion energy solutions support continuous material movement in high-throughput, multi-shift operations.

Keep Your Equipment Moving

Support long shifts and high-throughput operations with opportunity charging during scheduled breaks.

Reduce Your Battery Maintenance

Eliminate battery watering and routine acid checks while reducing the labor associated with lead-acid battery care.

Simplify Your Fleet Power

Reduce dependence on battery swaps, spare batteries, and dedicated battery-management processes.

Improve Your Fleet Visibility

Use connected battery data to monitor charge status, health, utilization, runtime, and potential performance issues.

Built for the Way Warehouses Move

Warehouse and distribution operations depend on the continuous movement of inventory from the receiving dock to storage, picking, staging, and outbound shipping. A smarter warehouse battery strategy helps keep material handling equipment available throughout the operation while giving fleet managers greater insight into how battery assets are performing.

Keep Inbound Inventory Moving

Support the movement of incoming pallets and products from trailers and receiving docks into staging and storage locations without unnecessary battery-related interruptions.

Key Benefits

Keep busy receiving schedules running with reliable battery performance, flexible charging, and less time spent managing battery changes and routine maintenance.

CASE RESULTS

Proven in Demanding Warehouse Operations

Warehouse & Distribution

Problem

Arctic Glacier delivers over 350 tons of ice a day. Their lead-acid batteries couldn’t keep up with long shifts and extreme temperature swings.

Solution

Switching to Flux Power lithium-ion batteries eliminated battery swaps, reduced maintenance, and allowed drivers to run 15-hour shifts on a single charge.

Result

They had no maintenance issues, plugged into a 110V outlet for quick turnaround, and ran full shifts without interruption.

"Since we switched to Flux Power, we've literally had no maintenance issues. It's a simple product to use, and it works great."

— Christian Sanchez, Arctic Glacier

Warehouse and Distribution Lithium-Ion Battery FAQs

What are the benefits of lithium-ion forklift batteries for warehouse operations?

Lithium-ion batteries can support warehouse operations with opportunity charging, reduced routine maintenance, consistent battery performance, and connected fleet data. These capabilities can help reduce battery handling requirements and support equipment availability across receiving, storage, picking, replenishment, and shipping.

How does opportunity charging support multi-shift warehouse operations?

Opportunity charging allows equipment to recharge during scheduled periods of inactivity, such as breaks, shift changes, or operational pauses. This gives warehouse teams greater flexibility to align charging with equipment usage rather than relying exclusively on battery changes or extended charging periods.

Can lithium-ion batteries reduce the need for battery swaps?

A properly designed lithium-ion battery and charging strategy can reduce or eliminate lead-acid battery swaps for many applications. The appropriate configuration depends on equipment type, operating hours, duty cycle, charging opportunities, and energy requirements.

What types of warehouse equipment can use Flux Power lithium-ion batteries?

Flux Power offers lithium-ion energy solutions for a range of material handling equipment, including counterbalanced forklifts, 3-wheel forklifts, narrow aisle forklifts, end and center riders, and walkie pallet jacks.

How can warehouse managers monitor battery health and utilization?

SkyEMS provides connected battery data that helps operations teams monitor factors such as battery health, state of charge, utilization, runtime, temperature, and reported alerts. This information can provide greater visibility into battery performance across equipment and facilities.

Can SkyEMS support warehouse fleets across multiple locations?

Yes. Connected fleet information can help operations teams compare battery activity and performance across multiple facilities, providing a broader view of fleet utilization and battery health.
