 AT A GLANCE

Flux Power lithium ion forklift batteries for agriculture power the Class I, II, and III forklifts, pallet jacks, and automated guided vehicles that move product and parts through packhouses, agricultural processing plants, and farm equipment parts warehouses. The LiFePO4 batteries opportunity charge during breaks to keep pace with harvest peaks, require no watering, operate from -22°F to 131°F, and produce zero tailpipe emissions. SkyEMS adds real-time monitoring of battery health and usage across shifts, seasons, and sites. 

Powering Agriculture From Harvest to Shipment

Flux Power lithium-ion energy solutions help agricultural producers, packers, processors, and equipment supply chains keep material handling equipment available when the season demands it, simplify energy management, and gain greater control over fleet performance and operating costs. 

Stay Ready for Harvest Peaks

Opportunity charge between loads and at shift change so one battery per truck can keep up when volume surges. 

Keep Exhaust Out of Packing Areas

Electric forklifts produce zero tailpipe emissions, so they add no combustion exhaust to enclosed packing, processing, and cold rooms. 

Power People and Automation Together

Run forklifts, pallet jacks, and AGVs and AMRs on one lithium-ion energy strategy, from the packing line to the shipping dock. 

 

Lower Total Operating Costs

Reduce propane purchases and eliminate watering, battery rooms, and the labor associated with battery changes. 

Solve the Operational Challenges That Slow Agricultural Operations Down

Agricultural operations work against compressed harvest windows, perishable product, seasonal labor shortages, and heavy, bulky equipment components that cannot wait on a dead battery. Flux Power lithium-ion solutions help operators keep product moving from receiving to shipping, support growing warehouse automation, and control the cost of powering their fleets through every season. 

 Keep Up When the Harvest Comes In 

 When the harvest arrives, receiving docks, packing lines, and storage run long hours and often around the clock for weeks at a time. A forklift pulled for a battery change or a propane tank swap leaves bins waiting and product aging on the dock. Flux Power lithium-ion batteries stay in the truck and charge during natural pauses, helping equipment stay available through every peak season shift. 

  • Opportunity charge during breaks, between loads, and at shift change.

  • Reduce dependence on spare batteries, changing equipment, and propane storage. 

  • Maintain consistent lift and travel speed through the full shift.

  • Use connected battery data to prepare the fleet before the season starts.

 CASE RESULTS

Texas Manufacturing Plant Achieved $2.34M in Five-Year Savings

EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING

Problem

A 30-truck fleet used flooded lead-acid batteries, with two batteries per truck, creating a 60-battery system that demanded maintenance, charging, and handling. Maintenance time pulls labor from higher-value tasks, and unavailable trucks disrupt production and flow.

Solution

Switching to Flux Power lithium-ion batteries eliminated battery swaps and reduced maintenance.

Result

They lowered their 5-year costs by $2.34M+ and reduced their fleet and maintenance size.

Manufacturing Lithium-Ion Battery FAQs

Accordion Icon How long does it typically take for a manufacturing facility to transition from lead-acid?
Most facilities transition in 4–8 weeks depending on fleet size, infrastructure complexity, and staff training timelines. We manage the transition with a detailed project plan, on-site support, and training. Many customers run a phased rollout (test with 5–10 units, then expand).
Accordion Icon What is the ROI of lithium-ion batteries for manufacturing?
Yes. Flux Power lithium-ion batteries are designed with properly configured thermal management and application-specific charging strategies to support equipment operating in temperature-controlled environments. Unlike lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion solutions maintain consistent performance in cold storage without the freeze-thaw degradation that affects other battery chemistries.
Accordion Icon What is the difference between lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries for manufacturing?
Opportunity charging allows batteries to recharge during scheduled breaks (lunch, shift changes, loading/unloading cycles) rather than requiring a full overnight charge. This supports longer operating hours, reduces the need for spare batteries, and improves equipment utilization across high-throughput order picking, loading, and delivery operations.
Accordion Icon How long do lithium-ion batteries last in continuous-duty applications?
SkyEMS provides connected battery data that allows operations to monitor state of health, state of charge, runtime, utilization, temperature, and reported alerts in real time. This centralized approach supports multi-facility management and helps identify underused assets, optimize charging strategies, and prevent performance issues before they occur.
Accordion Icon Are lithium-ion batteries safe for manufacturing environments?
Yes. Flux Power lithium-ion batteries are UL Listed, meeting rigorous safety and performance standards. All applicable product families carry full documentation of certifications and warranty coverage specific to their intended applications.
