The battery recycling market is to hit USD 25.10 billion by 2027, which highlights the extent that battery disposal effects the overall e-waste challenge.
One of our Active EMS customers, a company that designs and manufactures products which monitor the efficiency of batteries approached us to help them in their pursuit to extend the lifetime of their battery.

The company is one of the world’s largest suppliers of forklift truck battery charging and monitoring devices. Forklifts use large rechargeable lead-acid batteries that have not changed a lot in 70 years.

These batteries have a secondary purpose, in addition to powering the vehicle, they are very heavy, and that weight provides a counterbalance for the load.

Lead-acid batteries are not environmentally friendly in the slightest, but the alternatives are just as bad. Diesel, petrol, and LPG engines create fumes, which are also bad for the environment or workforce, especially when inside.

Until a better solution is developed, lead-acid batteries are here to stay.

Keeping those batteries as efficient as possible and prolonging their operational lifetime is the responsibility of our customer.

Our work together ensures that the batteries can operate for as long as possible before needing replacement.
