FAQ

How safe are Lithium-Ion Batteries?
Our LiFePO4 batteries are considered to be safe, non-flammable and non-hazardous for superior chemical and mechanical structure.
They can also withstand harsh conditions, be it freezing cold, scorching heat or rough terrain. When subjected to hazardous events, such as collision or short-circuiting, they won’t explode or catch fire, significantly reducing any chance of harm. If you’re selecting a lithium battery and anticipate use in hazardous or unstable environments, lifepo4 battery is likely be your best choice. It’s also worth mentioning that they are non-toxic, non-contaminating and contain no rare earth metals, making them environmentally conscious.

What is a BMS? What does it do and where is it located?
BMS is short for Battery Management System. It’s like a bridge between battery and users. The BMS protects the cells from getting damaged — most commonly from over or under-voltage, over current, high temperature or external short-circuiting. The BMS will shut off the battery to protect the cells from unsafe operating conditions. All I-SWAY batteries have built-in BMS to manage and protect them against these types of issues.

The BMS of our Forklift Batteries is a high-tech innovative design made to protect the lithium cells. Features Include: Remote monitoring with OTA (over the air), Thermal management, and multiple protections, such as Low Voltage Protection Switch, Over Voltage Protection Switch, Short Circuit Protection Switch, etc.

What is the life expectancy of the battery?
I-SWAY batteries can be used around 4000 life cycles. Battery design life is around 10 years, and we offer you 5 years warranty. Therefore, even though there is more upfront cost with a SISWAY LiFePO4 Battery, the upgrade saves you up to 70% battery cost over 5 years.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO CHARGE?

The length of time it takes to charge a li-ion battery depends on the type and size of your charging source.

Our recommended charge rate is 50 amps per 100 Ah battery in your system. For example, if your charger is 20 amps and you need to charge an empty battery, it will take 5 hours to reach 100%.
