(II) Fast Charging and Flexible Energy Replenishment Solutions

For high-intensity operation energy replenishment needs, Lingkuang offers multiple efficient solutions:

Fast charging options: Optional industrial-grade fast charging module, increasing charging efficiency by 30-40%. A 200Ah battery pack can be fully charged in just 5-6 hours, and a 125Ah battery pack in 4-5 hours.

Battery replacement system: Some models support fast battery swapping. When equipped with a spare battery pack, battery replacement can be completed within 5 minutes, achieving "zero downtime." Operational Opportunity Charging Strategy: Supports charging on demand, utilizing lunch breaks, shift changes, etc. for short-term charging. One hour of charging can replenish approximately 15-20% of the battery, extending working time by 2-3 hours.

(III) Charging Facility Configuration Recommendations

Standard Support: All models come with a dedicated charger to meet basic energy replenishment needs.

Site Planning: It is recommended to establish dedicated charging areas at work sites, equipped with multi-interface charging piles to accommodate multiple devices charging simultaneously.

Power Requirements: Industrial-grade stable power lines are recommended to avoid voltage fluctuations affecting charging efficiency and battery life; portable generators can be used for emergency charging during outdoor operations.

III. Technology Optimization: Three Core Systems to Maximize Equipment Utilization

(I) Intelligent Energy Consumption Management System

All electric skid steer loaders are equipped with a self-developed intelligent energy consumption management system:

Real-time Monitoring Function: The central control display screen intuitively displays key data such as remaining battery power, estimated range, and real-time energy consumption, facilitating users to rationally plan their work processes.

Multi-mode Switching: Supports three levels of adjustment: energy-saving mode, standard mode, and high-performance mode. Switching to energy-saving mode during light loads can reduce power consumption by 10-15%. Energy Consumption

Automatic Sleep Design: The equipment automatically enters a low-power sleep state after 3 minutes of inactivity, reducing unnecessary power consumption.

(II) Battery Maintenance and Lifespan Guarantee

Lifespan: Utilizes high-quality lithium iron phosphate batteries, achieving 1500-2000 charge-discharge cycles under normal use, with a lifespan of 5-8 years.

Maintenance Recommendations: Avoid complete battery discharge; it is recommended to charge the battery when the remaining charge is above 20%; perform equalization charging once a month to extend battery cycle life; maintain an operating temperature between -10°C and 45°C; battery insulation covers are optional in extremely cold regions.

Warranty Policy: The battery system enjoys a 2-year free warranty service; non-human-caused quality problems during the warranty period can be repaired or replaced free of charge.

(III) Practical Tips for Enhancing Battery Life

Attachment Selection: Select lightweight attachments according to operational needs to reduce equipment load and energy consumption. 10-15% Operational Optimization: Avoid frequent rapid acceleration and braking; maintain a constant speed. Plan work routes rationally to reduce unnecessary travel. Regular Maintenance: Maintain proper tire pressure and prevent hydraulic system leaks; reduce mechanical resistance and improve energy efficiency. IV. Economic and Environmental Advantages: Electric vs. Traditional Diesel Engines – The Difference is Obvious. Comparing the mid-sized mainstay model LD-S460 (electric) with the comparable diesel model LD-S480, the economic and environmental advantages are significant. In terms of energy costs, the electric model LD-S460 requires only 25-30 yuan in industrial electricity for 8 hours of operation, while the diesel model LD-S480 requires 120-150 yuan in fuel costs for the same duration (calculated at a diesel price of 8 yuan/L). Over the long term, the cost advantage of the electric model is extremely prominent. In terms of maintenance costs, electric skid steer loaders require no replacement of consumables such as engine oil, filters, and fuel filters, with annual maintenance costs of only 8,000-12,000 yuan, far lower than the 15,000-20,000 yuan annual maintenance expenditure for diesel engine models.

The difference is equally significant in terms of operating experience and environmental performance. Electric skid steer loaders operate at a noise level below 75dB, equivalent to the volume of everyday conversation, while diesel engine models reach 85-90dB, approaching traffic noise levels, which can significantly impact operators with long-term use. Environmentally, electric skid steer loaders achieve zero emissions, producing no exhaust pollution and fully complying with current stringent environmental policies, while diesel engine models emit approximately 150kg of CO₂ daily, placing a considerable burden on the environment.

Regarding suitable operating environments, electric skid steer loaders, with their low noise and zero emissions advantages, can be widely used in environmentally sensitive areas such as indoor warehouses, residential areas, schools, and hospitals, while diesel engine models are more suitable for open outdoor spaces or remote construction sites. In terms of starting performance, the electric motor model supports instant start-up without any hesitation, even in low-temperature environments. The diesel engine model, however, requires preheating before starting and is prone to starting difficulties in cold weather.
