EnerSys^®, the global provider in stored energy solutions for industrial applications, will deliver a presentation on the latest advances in Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology as it applies to the material handling industry. Presented by EnerSys Senior Vice President and Chief Technical Officer, Joern Tinnemeyer, the on-floor seminar will take place at MODEX^® 2020 on Monday, March 9 at 3:45 p.m. in Theater F. The show will take place from March 9 to 12 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

“There’s been a great deal of industry excitement surrounding Li-ion battery technology as it pertains to lift truck power, but at the same time, quite a bit of confusion still remains concerning the benefits, features, and safety of the technology,” said Harold Vanasse, Senior Director of Marketing, Motive Power Americas at EnerSys. “As an industry-leading power solutions provider, it is our responsibility to stay in the technological forefront and to convey our knowledge on the latest scientific advancements in battery power. Joern Tinnemeyer possesses a wealth of knowledge on the subject and this seminar will give attendees a better ability to evaluate different lithium battery solutions that will help them to understand how it can transform vehicle productivity and performance for years to come.”

Key takeaways from the EnerSys on-floor seminar – From Hoverboards to Lift Trucks: What You Need to Know About Lithium-Ion Batteries and the Battery Management Systems and Standards that Surround Them – are as follows:

• The differences between Li-ion battery technologies and why technology is a key consideration in the decision process
• The importance of the Battery Management System (BMS) as it relates to the safety, reliability, and performance of a Li-ion battery
• The standards to look for when choosing Li-ion technology
• The layers of a safe Li-ion design – from cells and system design to an overall culture of safety

While at MODEX^®, EnerSys also welcomes attendees to visit booth no. 7632 to discover the modernization behind virtually maintenance-free NexSys^® batteries, including the NexSys^® PURE battery and the upcoming NexSys^® iON battery, two advanced solutions engineered to provide simpler and more productive, predictable power to enhance the overall user experience. Featuring the latest generation of Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) and advanced Li-ion technologies, these superior batteries provide intelligent, flexible power to deliver increased reliability and performance no matter the size of the operation. In addition, EnerSys will showcase the innovation behind wireless charging with an on-site demonstration.
