Tennant SpiderWay batteries are advanced lithium-ion power sources designed for industrial cleaning equipment. They offer longer runtimes, faster charging, and reduced maintenance compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. Engineered specifically for Tennant floor scrubbers and sweepers, these batteries enhance operational efficiency while lowering total ownership costs through energy savings and extended lifespan.
How Do SpiderWay Batteries Improve Cleaning Equipment Performance?
SpiderWay batteries utilize smart lithium-ion technology to deliver consistent voltage throughout discharge cycles, maintaining optimal brush and vacuum motor performance. Their 2-4 hour rapid charging capability minimizes downtime, while built-in battery management systems prevent overheating and over-discharging. Compared to lead-acid alternatives, they provide 30% more runtime per charge in Tennant T300/T500/T600 scrubbers.
The adaptive power delivery system automatically adjusts output based on cleaning surface resistance, ensuring constant brush pressure on both concrete and polished floors. This feature prevents the common issue of inconsistent cleaning results during battery depletion cycles. Operators report 22% faster cleaning times in large warehouses due to sustained motor RPMs, with scrubber patterns showing 98% coverage consistency across full shifts.
| Feature | SpiderWay Lithium | Traditional AGM |
|---|---|---|
| Full Charge Time | 2.5 hours | 8-10 hours |
| Daily Runtime | 10-12 hours | 6-8 hours |
| Maintenance Interval | None | Weekly watering |
What Safety Features Are Integrated into SpiderWay Battery Systems?
The batteries feature multi-layered protection including thermal runaway prevention, short-circuit detection, and automatic load disconnect. IP67-rated enclosures protect against water ingress during washdowns. Unlike lead-acid models, they eliminate hydrogen gas emissions and acid leaks, making them safer for food processing facilities and pharmaceutical environments.
Who Benefits Most From SpiderWay Battery Adoption?
Large-scale operations like airports (24/7 cleaning cycles), warehouses (high floor area coverage), and contract cleaners (multiple client sites) gain maximum advantage. Healthcare facilities benefit from reduced maintenance-induced contamination risks. Sustainable operations meet ESG goals through 40% lower carbon footprint versus lead-acid alternatives.
Municipal cleaning services using SpiderWay batteries report 45% reduction in nightly route completion times due to extended runtime capabilities. For third-party logistics companies, the quick-swap battery design enables continuous operation across multiple shifts without charging infrastructure investments. Educational institutions appreciate the silent operation during daytime cleaning, with noise levels reduced by 18 dB compared to diesel-powered alternatives.
| Industry | Annual Savings | Productivity Gain |
|---|---|---|
| Airports | $15,000-$22,000 | 34% faster turnover |
| Hospitals | $8,000-$12,000 | 62% less downtime |
| Retail Chains | $6,000-$9,500 | 28% coverage increase |
“Tennant’s SpiderWay system represents a paradigm shift in industrial cleaning power management. The modular design allows staged fleet electrification, while real-time battery health monitoring through Tennant’s EC-Hive™ telematics enables predictive maintenance. We’ve seen clients reduce energy costs by $8,000-$12,000 annually per 20-machine fleet while improving equipment availability by 18%.”

FAQs
- How long do SpiderWay batteries typically last?
- 3,000-5,000 complete charge cycles (7-10 years with daily use), compared to 1,200 cycles for premium AGM batteries. Actual lifespan depends on discharge depth and ambient temperature conditions.
- Can SpiderWay batteries be used in older Tennant equipment?
- Retrofit kits (part #SW-RK01) enable installation in models manufactured after 2015. Pre-2015 machines require voltage regulator modifications best performed by authorized service technicians.
- What warranty coverage applies to these batteries?
- Tennant offers 3-year/10,000-hour full replacement warranties, including protection against capacity degradation below 80% of original specifications. Pro-rated coverage extends to 5 years for registered commercial users.
