While opportunity charging is a practice applicable to both Lead Acidand Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for motive power systems, fast charging is a key differentiator for Lithium-ion batteries. Because the chemistry allows fast charging without damaging cycle life, Li-ion multivoltge batteries can be charged opportunistically during breaks and don’t require battery swaps. Learn about best practices […]
