Course Recap: The Future of Lithium Battery Technology

Our first in-depth training course on Lithium-Ion Batteries was a huge success!

We wanted to give a group of dealers the full picture of how lithium batteries run forklifts, and the advantages they convey. With a fully integrated battery and intelligent chargers, the electric forklift can work within any fleet and will operate in any environment.

This is how we proved it.

 

Recap – Two Days, Lots of Detailed Discussions on Battery Technology

We conducted this training course October 22 & 23 of 2024. The course ran exactly as named – giving an in-depth explanation of a Heli lithium electric power system. Subject matter included a breakdown of the ZAPI controller, how it controls power flow, how it’s programmed, and how to troubleshoot the power system.

Jose Villafene and Jeffrey Zhou, Factory Reps direct from Heli, conducted the course. Attendees included service managers and technicians from Toyota Material Handling, Doggett, SCIE, Hawaii Specialty, and Atlanta Forklifts.

This training wasn’t just about the future of lithium battery technology. It’s also about equipping our dealers with the skills to diagnose and repair lithium batteries and chargers today. With increased demand for (and regulations on) green energy products, lithium batteries and the products they power – like Heli forklifts – fit our industry’s needs for today and the future.

Asked how the court went, Sales Manager Gil Saenz commented,

“Everyone was engaged throughout the course. We had several active discussions on the equipment itself and its underlying technology. Great to see!”

 

The Future: Will We Run More Lithium Tech Courses? You Bet!

We’re already planning on more classes in the future. The future classes will cover specific machines and include assigned work sheets for greater familiarity.

This course is part of Industrial Forklifts’ long-standing commitment to customer service. As lithium-ion technology continues to gain traction, we’re investing in our dealers to ensure they have the expertise to service these advanced forklifts. We’re not just another forklift brand; we’re a partner you can rely on.
