STILL, the Hamburg-based leader in intralogistics solutions, has unveiled a new lithium-ion battery designed to meet the energy needs of the most common application profiles in the industry. This latest addition to STILL’s battery portfolio is tailored for maximum efficiency, sustainability, and quality, making it an ideal solution for businesses looking to enhance their energy systems without overpaying for unnecessary power.

“We realised that many of our customers are not using the full capacity of our lithium-ion batteries,” explains Sascha Jordan, Senior Director Strategy & Solution Portfolio STILL. “That’s why a battery was developed that combines all the advantages of lithium-ion technology with attractive value for money, tailored to market and customer needs.“

Manufactured and installed at STILL’s Hamburg facility, the new lithium-ion battery provides businesses with a cost-effective and reliable energy solution. It’s specifically engineered for companies that require a balance between performance and efficiency—offering extended runtimes, reduced maintenance, and improved energy efficiency compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. This makes it an attractive option for businesses seeking to modernise their intralogistics operations while keeping operating costs in check.

 “With our energy systems, we focus on intelligent energy supply rather than sheer size and performance,” emphasises Gesa Kaatz, New Energy Advisor at STILL. This approach avoids expensive oversizing, reducing investment costs and shortening the payback period. This is because annual operating hours in the low four-digit range cover the majority of typical intralogistics applications. And for customers with higher performance and operating time requirements, the lithium-ion ‘Plus’ series of performance batteries is still available.

STILL’s battery portfolio already spans a wide range of energy solutions, including powerful ‘Plus’ lithium-ion batteries that can support intensive multi-shift operations. However, the new model caters to businesses with more moderate energy needs, offering a smart introduction to lithium-ion technology, particularly in combination with STILL’s popular RX 20 electric forklift.

“In the powerful and manoeuvrable RX 20, our new lithium-ion battery provides the ideal performance for most everyday logistics tasks, coupled with all the benefits of this technology: short charging times, high energy efficiency, a long service life, and maintenance-free operation,” says Gesa Kaatz. “And all this at a price that makes the switch particularly attractive for many companies — exactly what our customers need.“

Incorporating intelligent thermal management and a competitive price-performance ratio, the new lithium-ion battery also benefits from the same service concept and warranty terms as other STILL lithium-ion products, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. Additionally, the battery’s production at STILL’s Hamburg site highlights the company’s commitment to high-quality, locally manufactured solutions for its customers.

 “By this we can implement adjustments to our vehicles and customer requirements quickly and efficiently, offering perfect coordination of vehicle, battery and charging technology from a single source,” says Gesa Kaatz.

With this launch, STILL continues to focus on smart scalability, offering businesses precisely the energy systems they need for optimal operational efficiency.
