Forklifts, AGVs and floor machines: duty cycles, charging windows and uptime.
Duty cycles and current demands
Industrial duty is about sustained current and the charging window between shifts, not about energy density.

Opportunity charging and fleet uptime
Opportunity charging removes the battery room and the swap, which is where the fleet economics change.

Questions
Short answers to the ones that come up most.
Why lithium for forklifts?
No watering, no swap, no battery room, and the truck keeps its speed as the pack discharges.
What current rating do I need?
Above the truck’s peak draw, with margin for the working temperature.
Do I still need a spare battery?
Normally no — opportunity charging covers the shift pattern.
