In the industrial cleaning world, the battery is the heart of the machine. But for many rental and refurbishment experts, it’s also the biggest headache.
We’ve been analyzing the shift from Lead-Acid to LiFePO4 (Lithium) in the European market, and the numbers for 2026 are clear:
❌ The Lead-Acid Trap: High maintenance, 8-hour charge times, and a lifespan that rarely survives a 3-year rental contract.
✅ The Lithium Edge: Zero maintenance, "opportunity charging" (plug in during lunch!), and a 5-8x longer lifecycle.

For leaders in the industry—like those managing large-scale refurbishment and rental fleets—the transition isn't just about "going green." It’s about Operational Excellence.

Upgrading a refurbished fleet to Lithium:
1️⃣ Reduces "battery-dead" service calls by 40%.
2️⃣ Increases machine uptime for the end-user.
3️⃣ Lowers the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over 5 years significantly.

At CLF, we specialize in "Drop-in" Lithium solutions designed specifically for the dimensions of industrial scrubbers and sweepers. No structural changes, just immediate performance.
Are you still replacing batteries every 18 months, or are you ready for a 5-year maintenance-free solution?
Let’s discuss how Lithium can re-energize your fleet's margins.
