Fusion Battery

The Future of Forklift Power

CLARK proudly offers a full line of electric forklifts that can be equipped with an aftermarket CLARK FUSION lithium-ion battery. With an operator-friendly BDI, customers can enjoy all of the benefits of a lithium-ion-powered lift truck, including longer service life, no maintenance, opportunity charging, and more! CLARK FUSION Lithium-Ion batteries can be ordered through the local CLARK dealer in addition to any CLARK electric forklift in the lineup.

CLARK FUSION Lithium-ion batteries offer several advantages over lead-acid batteries, starting with their impressive efficiency and longevity. Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries provide a higher energy density, which translates into longer operational hours between charges. This efficiency is particularly beneficial in high-demand environments where forklifts are in constant use, as it reduces downtime associated with frequent recharging. Additionally, lithium-ion batteries maintain consistent power output throughout their discharge cycle, ensuring that forklifts operate at full capacity until the battery is nearly depleted, unlike lead-acid batteries that experience a drop in performance as they discharge.

Charge Up Your Forklift, Cut Down Your Costs

Converting your battery to lithium-ion may require a higher initial investment, but its ongoing savings on energy, equipment, labor and downtime can give you a more cost-effective bill in opposite.

Save Up to 70% Expenses in 5 Years.

Reduce Downtime, Increase Productivity

In day-to-day operations, the battery can be charged even during short breaks, such as rest or changing shifts, effectively increasing productivity.

  • Reduces the need for a full charge every time.
  • Eliminates the need for frequent, time-consuming battery swaps.
  • Eliminates the risk of battery-changing accidents.
  • Opportunity charge during breaks, lunch, and shift changes. Charge anytime equipment is not in use.

Eliminate the Need for a Dedicated Charging Area and Frequent Battery Swaps

  • Minimize the need to buy, store, and maintain spares.
  • Eliminate the cost and storage space required for additional lead-acid batteries.
  • No gassing or ventilation system is needed when charging.
  • No hazardous acid spills.

Consistent Power

Lithium-ion batteries deliver consistently high performance, which maintains greater productivity even toward the end of a shift.

Why choose LiFePO4 batteries for Forklifts?

There are a few lithium-ion chemistries to choose from. FUSION uses LFP or Lithium Iron Phosphate, one of the most thermally stable and safe lithium-ion chemistries for Forklifts.

LFP offers longer life, is more energy-dense, and is more stable than lead-acid batteries. Our battery packs are sealed units requiring no daily or weekly watering and no maintenance. LFP is ideal for batteries used in Forklifts.

Battery Management System (BMS)

Fusion Battery Diagram

Built-In BMS

For cell balancing and advanced battery management.

4G MODULE INCLUDED

For software upgrading, remote monitoring and diagnosing.

CONTROL PANEL INCLUDED

Showing all critical battery functions in real-time, voltage, current, and remaining charging time and fault alarm.

REMA PLUG

Separate high current charging plug with integrated blocking system to avoid unintended truck startup while charging and transferring the signal.

4G Module

CLARK FUSION smart 4G module can realize remote monitoring in real time, even in different countries. If faults occur, you can get an alarm in realtime. Once the faults can not be solved, you can get a remote diagnosis online from us to solve the problems as soon as possible. With OTA (over the air), remote software upgrades can be uploaded, and GPS can lock the forklift automatically if necessary.

4G Module

The BMS can offer:

Battery Real-time Monitoring and Communication Through CANbus technology

Monitoring cell voltage, electric current and battery temperature so that any movement outside the normal range disconnects the cell or the entire battery.

Fault Alarm and Safety Protection

When the battery is less than 10%, it will beep to prompt for charging instead of stopping somewhere far away from the charge station suddenly without notice. Over/under voltage,  low/over temperature, over current or other faults will prompt to make the battery safe. Safety always comes first.

The built-in BMS is equipped with automotive-grade components assuring safety, top quality and high energy density to provide a fully optimized solution for demanding industrial applications.

BMS software ensures the battery provides peak performance when in operation, delivers longer run time between charges, maximizes the total battery lifespan and to communicate well between the charger, battery and users.
