Opportunity charging is a practice applicable to both Lead Acid and Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for motive power systems and especially useful for Material Handling (MH) equipment. Fast charging is a key differentiator for Lithium-ion batteries. The chemistry allows fast charging without damaging cycle life. Li-ion batteries can be charged opportunistically during breaks and don’t require battery swaps.
