Vanguard^® and Battery Technology Partners: Working Together for OEMs

Electrified products have advantages your customers want:

• Environmental: Zero emissions, lower noise output and compliance with government regulations.

• Economic: Lower costs to operate, maintain and repair.

• Performance: Instant power, enhanced efficiency, higher energy savings, improved operator comfort and precision control.

Lithium-ion batteries have several advantages:

• Higher energy density: More power is stored in a smaller, lighter package.

• Faster charging and slower self-discharge: Frequently used equipment can be quickly recharged. Equipment that’s not used as often keeps its charge longer.
  

• The most advanced battery management systems (BMS): They constantly monitor state of charge, temperature and even the health of individual cells, ensuring maximum safety, performance and lifespan for lithium-ion batteries.

Use and operating conditions affect the life of any battery. But lithium-ion batteries can be discharged and recharged many more times than other battery types — up to thousands of cycles.

Federal, state and local governments — as well as electric utilities — often incentivize electric equipment. In some cases, using electric equipment is mandatory. Qualifying electric equipment often includes:

• Material-handling (forklifts, telehandlers, etc.)

• Construction (compact excavators, loaders, etc.)

• Lawn and garden (mowers, blowers, chainsaws, etc.)

• Cleaning (floor scrubbers, sweepers, etc.)
