Opportunity charging between shifts eliminates swap labor, battery rooms, and multi-battery inventory per truck
Lithium cells require no watering, no equalization, no acid exposure, eliminating a major recurring cost.
Eliminating acid exposure and heavy battery handling directly reduces incident frequency and OSHA-reportable costs.
Versus ~80% for lead-acid. That delta compounds across every cycle, every week, every year of the fleet's life.
Reduce your lead footprint with measurable metrics that support sustainability reporting and stakeholder disclosure.
Battery rooms average 400–800 sq ft. Reclaimed space goes back into production, storage, or operations.
“There is always a learning curve and hurdles to overcome when converting a forklift fleet from LP Gas to Electric. Our partnership with Flux Power has exceeded our expectations as they continue to monitor and educate the end-user and provide valuable feedback so management can fine-tune their operation to achieve the lowest cost per operating hour for the new fleet.”
Jeff Timmer - Manager
“We like the minimal downtime. We have drivers doing up to 3 truckloads, and previously, we’d have to send them a separate jack for the driver to be able to finish his day. Currently with the Flux Power batteries on board – the charge just goes forever and he can finish his shift on just one charge. That’s one of the main reasons we like Flux Power.”
Christian Sanchez - General Manager
What is Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)?
Why Should I Care About TCO?
Focusing only on the upfront price can be misleading. A lower-cost battery may end up costing significantly more over time due to maintenance, downtime, and shorter battery life.
TCO helps you understand what your battery fleet is really costing your business. Looking beyond the purchase price allows you to identify opportunities to save money, improve productivity, and maximize the return on your equipment investment.
