Keep parts moving on the line and production on schedule with lithium-ion energy solutions engineered for automotive assembly plants, Tier suppliers, and parts distribution centers. Reduce battery changes, eliminate watering, and support consistent power across every shift.
JIT and JIS programs leave little room for equipment downtime. A forklift or end rider pulled for a battery change can delay a sequenced delivery and put the line at risk. Flux Power lithium ion batteries stay in the truck and charge during natural pauses in the delivery route, helping material handling equipment remain available for every replenishment cycle.
Reduce battery changes during line side replenishment routes.
Opportunity charge at breaks, staging points, and shift changes.
Maintain consistent performance through the full shift.
Keep kitting, sequencing, and line-side replenishment on schedule in 24/7 automotive plants. M-Series lithium-ion batteries power end and center riders through every shift, opportunity charging at breaks and staging points so riders never leave the route for a battery change.

EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING
Read the full customer storyProblem
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 $1.6M+ and reduced their fleet and maintenance size.
Monitor battery health, charge behavior, temperature, and usage across connected assets.
Compare utilization across equipment, departments, and shifts to right size the fleet.
Benchmark performance across facilities and establish consistent fleet practices.
Are lithium ion forklift batteries a good fit for automotive manufacturing?
Can lithium ion batteries support JIT and JIS line side delivery?
Yes. Because lithium ion batteries can be opportunity charged during breaks, staging time, and shift changes, equipment stays in service instead of waiting for a battery change. That helps forklifts, end riders, and pallet jacks support sequenced, time sensitive deliveries throughout the shift.
Can lithium ion forklift batteries be opportunity charged?
Yes. Flux Power lithium ion batteries are designed to be opportunity charged without the performance concerns associated with partially charging lead acid batteries. Plants can add energy during breaks and natural pauses, reducing the need for spare batteries and changeout equipment.
Do Flux Power batteries work with AGVs, AMRs, and tuggers?
How long do lithium ion forklift batteries last?
Are Flux Power batteries safe for automotive plants?
Are Flux Power batteries compatible with major forklift brands?
Flux Power batteries are approved by multiple OEMs and designed for compatibility with major electric forklift manufacturers. An Energy Expert can verify compatibility with your equipment models and chargers.
What is the ROI of switching an automotive fleet to lithium ion?
ROI depends on shifts, fleet size, labor rates, battery inventory, and downtime exposure. Savings typically come from eliminating watering and battery changes, reducing spare batteries, and longer battery life.
Flux Power provides a no cost ROI assessment based on your operation.
Whether you are supporting an existing assembly line, launching a new model program, or planning for automation, our energy experts can help you evaluate equipment requirements, charging strategies, fleet data, and potential operating value.
